Got some more interesting news in Pandora.
The most interesting is that so far about 400 guests have been into the area via the good old "psst - got a few minutes? We have something to show you" approach. And so far the least positive response has been "some of the food looks weird, but it tastes great."
Still on track for WDI to turn the area over to park operations next Monday. This will apparently be celebrated by WDI on Sunday with some "low-hanging fireworks".
DAK cast members will get to experience the area next Tuesday, and an opening for all WDW CMs is said to be penciled in for 5/2, with more training and maintenance in between those two events.
And after 5/2, the park operations team is free to open it up as it sees fit.
