That’s still incorrect. If you need a water management permit then that has to be issued before building permits will be issued. There is also not going to just be one building permit submitted for everything.

Did we ever determine what the project name "Ro" is in reference to?Project Ro Approved: Disney's Animal Kingdom Tropical Americas Expansion Clears Key Regulatory Hurdle

I'm guessing Ro is a codename (or something similar) for Tropical Americas

Well yes, but I was wondering if we knew why the name was chosen. Project names are usually a reference to something adjacent to the project. For instance, RotR was "Project Alcatraz" because it involves a prison escape. TSL was "Project Ascot" because Ken mentions an ascot in Toy Story 3.
Indeed...
Project... (goes by first initial or full code word)
- 89 - Reflections Lodge (construction halted)
- Alcatraz - Rise of the Resistance
- Ascot - Toy Story Land (reference to Ken's ascot)
- Big Bird - Smuggler's Run: Millennium Falcon
- Delos - Star Wars Land DL / Delos II - Star Wars Land DHS (Delos runs WestWorld)
- Gamma - Epcot Hub reimagining
- Hubble - Star Wars Hotel (astrologer Edwin Hubble discovered other galaxies, far, far away)
- Kappa - Harmonious
- Marceline - Mickey & Minnie Runaway Railway (Walt's home town)
- MK1 - Main Street Theater (cancelled)
- MK2 - TRON
- Mischief - Ratatouille
- Morpho - Avatar Land (the blue morpho butterfly)
- Nugget - Either the 50th celebration as a whole, or just the part that pertains to the MK castle and/or its fireworks
- Ro - The Tropical Americas land in DAK replacing Dinoland.
- S - The revived Reflections Lodge DVC. Now called Lakeshore.
- Sausalito - Cosmic Rewind (Guardian's ship = Milano. Milano and Sausalito are also cookies.)
- TIJ, The Italian Job - Gondolas (name of a movie, but gondolas are also boats in Venice, Italy)
- U - Polynesian DVC (maybe... Ukele?)

Delos is also the mythological birthplace of the twins Apollo and Artemis who are associated with the Sun and Moon. Galaxy’s Edge was a twin project focused on “design once, build twice”.
Cool beans. Updated the list.
You wouldn't happen to know the significance of: 89, S, and Ro?
"S" is for Sparrow. Don't know the significance.

reflections was supposed to be nature themed it could have something to do with that
Perhaps...
The dusky seaside sparrow (Ammospiza maritima nigrescens) was a non-migratory subspecies of the seaside sparrow, found in Florida in the natural salt marshes of Merritt Island and along the St. Johns River. The last definite known individual died on Walt Disney World's Discovery Island in 1987,[3] and the subspecies was officially declared extinct in December 1990.[2]

Over the years iv noticed Disney needs permits for everything, to change rides, even signs, new experiences etc
Who do they need to get the permit from and why is this needed with more less everything if Disney own the land anyway and there just changing a ride etc
Iv always wondered but never asked

If I had to guess what "Ro" for TA means, yeah, I have absolutely no clue, I don't think it's a reference to anything in Encanto or Indiana Jones, so I'm guessing it's either an abbreviation for something (though the "O" would have to be capitalized), or it's a part of a word, your guess is as good as mine on that one.

My immediate thought was that it's perhaps in reference to Roatán. Its indigenous population was likely Maya, there are Maya ruins on the island, and it is within Honduras, which also contains the ruins at Copán that others have noted especially resemble the red IJ temple. It's also just off the coast of La Ceiba, and there seems to be ceiba tree iconography at the temple as well.
