Could the balloons have been for the launch site? Perhaps verifying sight lines from different parts of the park for certain effects?
This is a good possibility.

Yes! Whatever it is looks huge.Whatever it is/will be, it seems like it could be quite the eyesore for those staying at CS.
Oh no! It's the beginning of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel re-theming of my favorite resort!!
Wow. We must be behaving poorly again. I can recall four times that they've put up "heigh balloons" this year and three of them we have no idea what they are for. It started with the Fantasia Gardens balloons on Jan 12 of this year, which I don't believe we know the purpose of. Let me clarify: we don't know the contstruction-related purpose. Leads me to believe the balloons may not have to do with potential construction at all.
Here are the four times I recall "height balloons" having been spotted in WDW this year. To my knowledge, we do not yet know the purpose of three of them. The balloons above the energy pavilion may have been real rather than another sneaky attention-diverting trick.

Oh, and finally, I must add, the trick has been less and less successful each time. We're only on the second page of posts this time around.
Done some digging.
No confirmations yet but this area was being looked at a while back for a new stand alone resort.
As many of you know, I am not allowed to play for the NBA since my high level of skill and physical ability drains all the drama from any contest I'm involved in. Thus, I am limited to fantasy pick up games (in my mind) where I just run up and down the court practicing my moves. Also, I have been a regular visitor to WDW for quite some time. Many find my 83'8" vertical leap distracting, so I've been working with the resort on finding areas where I can get a little exercise and not upset my fellow guests. Height balloons are an important part of figuring out where a basketball court can be placed for me. I humbly apologize for any confusion this has created.
I think we have a pretty good idea of what the previous were about.Wow. We big whiney children must be behaving poorly again. I can recall four times that they've put up "height balloons" this year, and for three of those instances, we still have no idea what they are for.
