My sisters and I will keep our broomsticks crossed for you in the hopes that you get to ride Grizzly Mine Train ahead of it official opening so that you can come back here and tell us what it was like!!!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I seem to recall that the Tokyo parks have extremely limited (if any) soft openings, so I don't think that all of the Disney parks have the same policy.

I guess there's probably a chance that it would be open early, but I wouldn't bank on it, even in the US.
