You can still put in a request for a partial savanna view when you book standard view. After our past trip I booked the view I wanted so I agree with @gillep. We were lucky to get a military discount for savanna view so it works for us...hopefully.
There are very few places on this Earth where the resort or hotel view matters to me. AKL is one of those places, along with the beach. If I book ocean front I do not mean craning my neck around a corner to see the Ocean. i mean ocean front If I book Savannah view, I do not mean peering around bushes, rocks, rooftops or parking lots to see the Savannah. I mean Savanna view, and I will pay for it. I am afraid to roll the dice and hope for the partial view or the unexpected upgrade.
If WDW decided to pool all these rooms into one category and I was the party who got the partial, I would complain. I agree with those who doubt DIsney woudl retreat back to the days when partial views were charged as full view and then deal with those of us for whom views are seldom a concern so when we plan for one, we want what we paid for.
LOL! I learned my lesson years ago when I booked ocean view for a long weekend for my DH and I. It was a lot less money and I really had no idea how much view mattered in this instance. Holy Moly!!!! That angled balcony was his line in the sand moving forward! LOL!
