Depending on the height of the buildings surrounding the land, you may not be able to see anything, which from everything we've seen, is the idea.

You just need to know you don’t need to post what CMs tell you. It’s not needed on a site like this.
I will keep that in mind. What about imaginers are they rely able information?

If you have access to any Imagineers, by all means, share everything they tell you.

I did see one there when I went to disneyland. I should of asked some questions about Batuu.

I doubt you will see any of the rest of the park from within the land. The amount of buildings and structures near the pathway will block the angle of view.

No offense, but an Imagineer just walking through DL isn’t going to give a random guest inside information. That is a good way for them to lose their job. So anything they tell you is likely going to be the normal PR/Marketing response that is already public knowledge. Again not worth posting here.
What suddenstorm was referring to was if you had a personal relationship, such as neighbors or friends, with an Imagineer and they give you inside info then post it.

When you go on the Canoes, you can't see a thing of Star Wars Land; no rocks, no spires, no buildings, no nothing.
Because you are down at ground level on the Canoes, not 30 feet above ground like the top deck of the Mark Twain. Even though you are mere feet from the place, you can't see a bit of Batuu. Because they aren't going to let you climb 30 feet up onto the rooftops.
Using that as a guide, you probably won't be able to see a thing of Frontierland or Fantasyland when you are in Star Wars Land.
Heck, even now when you are standing a few dozen feet away from the entry tunnels into Star Wars Land, you can't even see anything peeking over the top, so I would expect it to be the exact same experience in reverse when you are standing on the other side of this berm...
Any Star Wars Land from this middle entrance area? Nope.
How about the far eastern entrance looking northwest into the land? Walking in from Fantasyland and going right up to the eastern entrance that's still walled shut? Nope.
Okay, maybe if I move way south to the Big Thunder exit and look directly north at Star Wars Land. Here's what this view looked like in 2016 as they cleared land, rerouted the River, and realigned the Railroad. Surely you will see Star Wars from here....
Fast forward to 2018 with Batuu mountains finished and massive ride buildings all built. Here's the same view...
There's just gotta be a place in Frontierland or Critter Country I could see Star Wars from. Yes! The top of the second lift hill of Big Thunder Mountain! Look fast!

What about when riding Splash Mountain?

Toon Town is specifically blocked off visually from the rest of the park. Two large trees just behind the railroad bridge obscure the Took Town facades from Fantasyland. There’s no “weenie” drawing you in.
This is just an observation. In TDL Toon Town is continuous with the rest of the park and things work just fine.

That gap looks horrible.

I believe there is a spot right before the bend to turn right past the briar patch that you have a pretty good view. Not to mention the top of the lift hill.

It can’t be finished right? Why would they spend all that money and stop 99.99% of the way there.

I'll be surprised if they don't at least fill the gap with some kind of barrier like a painted tarp. All they need to do is block the light from coming through. I'm sure their calculation was something on the order of, "well, we can fill in 99% and remain on budget or spend another $xx."

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Some sort of tarp.
