Contemporary! What rooms?

[pixi]

Ok now that my family has made their decision clear, we will be looking at that map of the Contemporary to decide what area to request- Most likely we will be in a Garden Wing- probably North... since it seems convenient & is less $$.
Any ideas on good rooms in that section? Where might I be able to see fireworks/MK from that area?
Here's a link to a map, just in case...

OR, can someone let me know if you can see fireworks/MK from ANYWHERE on Contemporary property (is it as easily visible as the picture on this page depicts?

Thanks!

My hubby and I stayed in the Contemporary North Garden Wing and just loved it for the two of us. Remote, quiet and seems out of the way of noise and traffic. If you'll have small children with you it'll be a bit of a hike from the main building, snack bar, refilling mugs and getting back to your rooms late at night, but the rooms are large so you'll have plenty of room. I would suggest a room (I can barely read the numbers on the map) in wing 6 of the north garden wings. This will be the closest walking distance to the main building, snack bar, etc.... Definitely get refillable mugs! On this side of the Contemporary the fireworks at MK aren't really viewable. You can see the high one's over the Castle, but not much else. The best place to view the fireworks would be from the overlook in the main tower of the Contemporary. Be sure to go down to the docks to catch the electrical water parade.

We just stayed at the contemporary in December and were in the North wing close to the tower. This was great as we could go out the door of the North wing and just a few feet away was the back door to the Food & Fun center. It was very convenient there. We were in 7107 which was very good. Our best room was when we were in 7304.
We were facing the water so we could see the Electric Water Pagent from our room. To see the fireworks we went out in front and watched them from the parking lot.
The map I saved shows the closest rooms are,
7101 to 7108 = water side
7201 to 7208 = water side
7301 to 7308 = water side
7183 to 7388 = parking side
7283 to 7288 = parking side
7301 to 7388 = parking side
