Did an actual map of the area or anything come from those permits?

Yep.
To take a page out of @scott_walker, I decided to overlay Kidzone and the new permit map that @chickenlilchip tweeted out..

Dead end. Exactly like Diagon. Entrances in and exits out on same side of land.So are we still expecting this to have a dead-end like it now, or will there be a pathway toward/from the MIB area?

We actually don't fully know that yet. Since Batuu is supposedly set in the 7-9 era of SW films, there's still two movies we've yet to see, I wouldn't be surprised if they wrote in food/drinks specifically in these movies so they could then sell in the parks.Some IPs just lend themselves to food and Star Wars just doesn't beyond the generic cupcake and basic food items. I don't know where Nintendo stands in this as I've never been into Nintendo.

That’s disappointing but if it frees up land for more things then who cares.
I expect to see more "enclosed" lands in themeparks moving forward. Diagon Alley is basically "Gift Shop Land". You go in to look at it and ride the ride, but before you exit you have to pass by almost every shop, no matter where you go, there's no way to avoid walking past a shop more than once. It's ingenious design.
Not only that, I think it has a positive effect on park capacity and throughput on the streets and logistics. You can essentially divert people to a whole land that does not operate within the confines of the exterior park experience.
From Bio,
Can a warp tube somehow work like a water coaster? I really just mean the coolness of being pulled uphill with magnets.
I think the "dead end land" is a great design choice. Universal hasn't a ton of space for transitions so it makes is possible to wrap the world 360 around you without any possibilities to see a different themed area.
It's also great for crowd control.
Like the Incline launch from RoTM?
So we only lose a small corner of the ball factory?!? Can it live on? Can I start a petition?
