As an added bonus, you and your Guests will each receive a complimentary Expedition Everest lanyard and pin (limit one set per person during the four-day event).

I would expect to see soft openings by the first week in January, possibly as early as the second. And this info is pretty reliable, although subject to change. This same scenario is going on right now in Anaheim with the new Monsters Inc. dark ride.
