There is lots of information on theme park view on work2play's thread, http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2257082

IMO the BLT TPV view is blown out of proportion. Yes you see the theme park, the fence, some back lot areas, the BLT parking lot, the roofs of buildings, and the top of the castle off in the distance.

It's not like you are so close that you are seeing inside the park and that is what comes to mind when the words theme park view are used. Originally it was labeled a Magic Kingdom View but complaints made Disney realize that MKV was really pushing it.

Bill laid out the facts really clear about what can be seen.

In my opinion, **the best thing about theme park view is that you can watch the fireworks from the privacy of your own balcony**. You can have the Wishes music piped in through a channel on the TV. If you don't plan on doing this, in my opinion, the room view is not necessarily important.

Yes, it's nice to be able to see the Castle and some of the park lit up at night, you can see the monorails going by. We were able to see the Water Pageant off in the distance in Seven Seas Lagoon. But, if we were not watching the fireworks, I would have just gotten a regular room, and then went upstairs. I think any DVC member staying on points at BLT can head up to TOTWL and watch the fireworks from there too.

Here is a picture that I borrowed from the great wdrl:

Pretty much sums it up.
