What is Rancho Del Zorro? I know the restaurant Del Zocolo, but not Zorro...and what is a crane doing there I wonder...

It's just a wall mounted crane... Probably to help with loading supplies or something I'd imagine? One of these guys....

Do you think it's close enough for a wall mount crane to be effective? I know Zocalo is next to BT but I seem to recall several feet of separation.

The back of Zocalo is adjacent to the BTM train service station, so that would make sense...

Like I said, just a guess. The wall crane/winch setup pictured above extends out several feet (and that's just an example). I suppose we'll see (or likely most of us won't see, as it'll be backstage).

Why does it list itself as Walt Disney World Company on the permits instead of Disney Parks & Resorts or Disneyland?

The 2nd floor of Innoventions is being re-done.

Description: Disney - Torrowland - TEC, Second Flr - Tenant Improvment:1,406 sq.ft to demo non-bearing walls, electrical, existing accessible restroom demo plumbing and door.

This is very interesting. I have a few thoughts:
  1. Usually, Disney only demolishes something when they have budget to build something else (and remember, the new fiscal year starts Oct. 1). This suggests that there is definitely something going in upstairs.
  2. That restroom was CM-only and was the only one on the second floor. I can't imagine them demolishing it and not replacing it. The only other CM restrooms are on the ground floor in the former VIP suite for CoP/Innoventions which is now being used as the dressing area for the LB characters and breakroom for photopass and character hosts. It's not available to attraction hosts. The new break room on the second floor behind the Marvel merch location has no plumbing (it was the space for the Asimo stage).
  3. I can't get a handle on what 1406 sq. ft. represents on that floor. My rebel spies tell me that Thor's throne room set is still there (there was a recent Tomorrowland cast party there and some CMs snuck into the throne room to snap pictures). The restroom is next to the big rear-projection globe. Next, going clockwise, is the merch location, followed by the Captain America/Spidey meet and greet, Ironman, and then the Throne Room. Then there's the open video game space, which brings you back to the wall in front of the restroom and emergency exit.

The only majorly new thing built last year for SuperHero HQ was the new break room and merch location. The Captain America set was modified by cutting a giant circular hole where the star backdrop was and constructing a curved wall behind it. Spidey's backdrop was a curtain that hung between the two.

If it actually was a DVC lounge, there would have to be guest restrooms. I don't think it's costume storage for Jedi and Launch Bay because that's been relocated to the Pizza Port basement (the old computer room) and they just spent money to install a non-passenger utility lift there.

Of course, the logical thought is that there will eventually be more LB attraction, including a preview of Star Wars Land up there, and possibly more meet and greet/photo ops, and, of course, merchandise. My guess has always been that they would unveil the model at D23 next summer before moving it to Launch Bay. I think this might be a comparable timeline to Avatarland.

Given that Marvel has been moved to DCA, I could see them dismantling the Throne Room (I can't believe they would simply demolish that beautiful set) and demolishing just about everything else except the new break room.

I can't imagine what else it could be. Thus far, my rebel spies have been unable to learn anything about this, although no Bothans were killed. So far.
