From what I understand, it's only if you're staying in the Castle Club that you can actually select a theme park view. Do any/many standard rooms have a good view of the park and is it just pot luck if you get one?
I was in a standard room, on a corner, facing Plaza Gardens. I had a balcony and partial park view from the balcony. These are my photos

Thanks Tink. Are the standard rooms all in the wings with the central building being castle club and suites?

as far as I could see, yes. The Castle Club has its own entrance just down a bit from the shop. If you look at the map I posted, the area thats marked Main Street Lounge, is actually an atrium, with the Castle Club inner corridors overlooking the space between Cafe Fantasia and Inventions / California Grill entrances.
We stayed there earlier this month and had a room across the way from BadPinkTink's which looked out onto the front entrance of the hotel. We were happy with the location as it was the first room on the 2nd floor corridor which meant we were at the restaurants/reception in 20 seconds and park gates in under a minute. We didn't have to walk down endless long corridors!
From what we could see out the windows of Inventions though you can't really see much in the park anyway. When we were there the Main St station was all boarded up so that eliminated any view you might have had. It might be different up on higher floors, you see the castle etc.
