They will upgrade Platinums, usually to sunset views if they have, or just request what you want, they'll usually accommodate if they have it. I asked to switch to Lagoon Villa to try out when I was there but decided against it because that side didn't look as nice.

As for seaplanes, they don't make the schedules, so even with a 10pm flight, sometimes you will fly out early. I had family with a 10pm flight that left the resort at 1:30pm. If you go for the absolute latest flight, there's also a chance that you miss it due to weather and what not.
