Walls down - Fantasyland soft opening status

These planters were just used for the latest tents to open, right? How long were the planters around before the area was open - anyone know for sure? Hard to think those would be out at this time for the CM previews - I would think they would leave the walls up to give it more 'exclusiveness.' I could just be completely over thinking that though.

But wait, all the insiders said that there won't be soft openings until November. I remember some "not a chance" type of quotes thrown around. I don't think it will happen in 11 days though, that would take too long...

it does seem odd the CM's could be on the other side of the planters doing the preview and go nana nana boo boo you can't come through this planter and then the guests could decide to crash the party and climb through the planters to get to the beer but some guy might have the word beer on his shirt and then they would know he's not a cast member and try to kick him out at which point they might all jump in the waterfalls or escape through a magic mirror or something like that...just say'in it seems odd.

I believe it's just due to the massive amount of CM's and then AP'ers who will be visiting for the preview. You can't have one small entrance door for thousands of people

Didn't see it already (but on phone in MK) - hard walls at Belle end are gone. Replaced by bushes on wheels blockade. Looking through its clear to the restaurant and beyond.

Hmmmm...

Come to think of it, I noticed that in a video I watched on YouTube yesterday. I was looking for a video that had been posted showing the waterfalls running, and you could see that there were shrubs. (I think I first noticed that the archway that had been blocked up was open)

Edit: Here it is. Starting about 36 seconds in you can first see that the large archway is open, and then the wall-o-shrubs at 1:05.

Cast member previews start in two weeks. Also more and more cast are beginning to go there for training. It makes sense to have the planters now instead of the huge walls. I haven't heard any rummors from my MK friends that previews will be any earlier.

Are you implying it will be open sooner than 11 days? We'll be there October 20-27, so really in the next 19 days it would have to go to soft opening for us to catch it.

Cast Member Previews start on the 20th, so in a way, there will be soft openings for non-Cast Members...but only if you're the guest of a Cast Member attending the preview.

Long time lurker that doesnt post that much but love the site and know there are plenty of you that are somewhat in the know here.

With that said its being reported elsewhere that the Enchanted Forest will start soft openings this Friday. Another thread about walls being down and replaced by moveable planters seems to support this. Also noticed LM now appears on the mobile magic app without times listed as of yet.

Sooooo anyone have anything to add ;)
