From what I'm gathering though is that Gringotts is NOT open? Can anyone confirm?
"We are now inviting guests to experience the atmosphere, shops, food and entertainment that Diagon Alley has to offer. Dine in the Leaky Cauldron. Grab your favorite Hogwarts house apparel at Quality Quidditch Supplies. And get that first taste of Butterbeer ice cream.
It brings us all one step closer to the Grand Opening on July 8, when guests will get to ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts and enjoy all of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley."
Is the quote from Universal's blog post... Someone let us know! Thanks.
Now Universal is calling it a "phased preview"

Gringotts is NOT open. There is a sign declaring its opening on July 8th. Pictures to come when I have a chance.
Glad you enjoyed it! That is very encouraging. If I may ask, how much was the ice cream?Despite Gringott's being down, I personally had a great time in Diagon Alley. Ate dinner in the Leaky Cauldron, bought a wand (and used it successfully), bought other stuff, and got ice cream (earl grey and lavender is wonderful). And I gaped at the dragon when she (She is a she, right?) did her thing. Will post some pics when I can tomorrow.
The area itself blew me away. Talk about your immersive experience!

4.99 in a cup
Around 5.80 in a waffle cone
Around 12-13 in a souvenir cup
Toppings cost extra can't remember how much.
