Plus, the area around the rides is going to be fantastic.

Hopefully the mountain goes higher than roofline. It will be interesting to see the sections of the mountain going in and rockwork started.

In DAK right now. The Avatar construction is enormous looking now on the bus ride in. I saw so many people visibly react to that on the bus. They started asking questions as to what it was so I (naturally) started telling everyone what it was and that it was opening in 2017. There were people already talking about coming back in 2 years after it opens.

Sorry. Had a fast pass to get to so I couldn't get any photos. Will try to on my way out.
On a side note, I spoke to the staff in Pizzafari. Also, I am well aware of the cast member caveat that is attached to these types of rumors. With that said, I was told that the new TS restaurant being built on the other side of Puzzafari is going to be a cantina styled restaurant that will be a part of the Pandora expansion. As with all CM rumors, take it with the normal smidgen of NaCl. Not saying I believe it, just thought it was interesting.

Huh. Well, I think it's already been established that Pizzafari was "expanding" to include a table service. So, it sounds like this is consistent with that. When you say "part of the Pandora expansion", do you mean "opening together with Pandora" or "the restaurant is part of the land of Pandora"? I think the former makes sense, but the latter wouldn't since it would be on the Discovery Island side of the bridge.
I found that interesting as well
it s not like they don't have plenty of room to put a TS or QS restaurant in Pandora
so why put it there?

That's great that you educated the park guest of what's going on at DAK. That's a good sign of people's reaction

Shared kitchen space is typically how a lot of the restaurants operate.

I assume the bus driver explained to people that this construction is the Marvel attractions being moved from Universal.

Sorry, I am walking and posting. Will put up some photos in a bit. But I will say this. We need some overheads pronto! There is big time construction going on in Pandora. It looks like another enormous wall is being constructed off of the other concrete wall, and it is just as high.

OK, so I think it is reasonable to add a TS to Discovery Island. I don't think that aspect is odd -- it's not like DAK has so many table service places that adding ~2 more would be a problem. There's only 3 right now and one is a buffet.
That said, I would think you'd want to have a Table Service in Pandora itself, but perhaps they felt it would break the theme too much. I remember that WDW1974 mentioned specifically that there would be no table service in Pandora and there might be a quick service. I've got to think that they'll at least have a quick serve -- how can you have a land where you can't get a full meal somewhere -- but perhaps the no table service plan is correct. Early on, we heard about the plan being a "flex" restaurant that would be quick serve during the day and table service for dinner; perhaps that morphed into a straight quick serve.
Then again, maybe they decided to add a third attraction to the land and needed the space for that instead of food. We can only hope.....
