I recall it being added along with the green rock restroom wall at the time Indy opened. About the same time Jungle Cruise got its double decker boat house.

Has anyone noticed any permits we may have missed to indicate work on the muppet theatre for PhilharMagic? I assume there would be permits filed if they were bringing the full experience to the theatre.

My recollection was that they would need to semi-demolish the theater and expand into the pre-show area to come close to the WDW experience. Since it's opening in weeks, I assume they are basically playing a version of the movie in the existing Muppet Theater. Not sure what they may add in physical form or re-dress the pre-show area.

well, it's opening in weeks but hasn't the theater been closed for months? maybe this has been in the works longer than it's been announced?

But there has been no major construction reported there from any source. No permits. No construction fences backstage. No closure of spaces within that building, including stockroom, operations lead office, and character dressing room. What was talked about a couple of years ago would probably have required a year of construction. My best guess is that what will open next month is "PhilharMagic Lite".

The City's Building Department fees are on the low end of the county, mainly due to volume. We also get 24 hour response times for inspections for most matters. This is due to the volume thanks to the Resort Area, and is a nice perk for the residents.
So around $1,000 is my guess.
Almost like an honor system. A local resident can get away without a permit for small projects. A business is subject to laws, regulation, and liability. If unpermitted, they can be shutdown.

I have gotten multiple permits for my house. Every one related to either projects with an electrical or gas component. And very happy to make sure those were correctly installed. A permit is like a second opinion, and a quality control inspector.
Went to pull a permit on a brick wall fence repair, and found out the project was exempt due to the small size of the project.
My fees were between $120 to about $400, depending on the specific project.
EDITED TO ADD: Drawing permits also protects my Property Insurance, as improper modifications could result in a refused claim.

For a business like Disneyland, permit fees are a constant. There are permit fees for signage, plumbing, electrical and mechanical work, and all sorts of other things. There are building fees for new construction and remodel fees for changing something around. The cost varies depending on the complexity of the job. Moving an electrical outlet might be a $40 fee, while installing an illuminated sign is $375. New construction is based on square footage, so these run to tens of thousands. It just depends on the job.

The city will waive the fee with the stipulation that it is never placed on public land.

At tonight's City Council Meeting, one of the weirdest ones I have ever attended, a permit related issue came up.
First off, while in California Marijuana is legal, it has a lot of regulations. One requires the city approves the sale in its limits. Anaheim has not yet done so.
A Gentleman from KW Reality (I think) spoke during general public comments. They own the strip mall behind the Farmer Boys Restaurant at Lincoln and Dale in West Anaheim, one block north of Dale Junior High. They signed a lease with someone who wanted to sell Salon Chairs. Well, right after the lease was signed, instead of moving into the storefront to sell chairs, they sublet the space to an illegal marijuana dispensary. Illegal as not registered with the state, does not pay taxes, and does not submit the products for third party testing.
The dispensary immediately installed solar panels on the roof (no building permits nor permission of the landlord), installed security doors with no keys provided to the landlord and brought in their own security guards. The Solar Panels are there for when the Anaheim Police Department (APD) completes its case, does all the required reports, and the city attorney approves the report. At that time, the city can order Public Utilities to shut off the power and water. So the dispensary can still operate and break the law with the panels and bottled water. (The city of Los Angeles also can do this since they run LADWP (Department of Water and Power), most cities can't since a third party provides the services, such as PG&E.
Within 3 days the Landlord contacted APD, who then referred it to Vice, filed a 3 day notice to vacate the premises to the tenant and sub-tenant, and contacted Code Enforcement. The tenants lawyer is delaying issues as much as possible, and it is expected to take 6 to 7 months to evict. Code enforcement came, inspected and found that yes, the solar panels and other items were illegally done, and gave notice to the landlord that it is subject to a $1,000 a day fine until the items are removed from the property, something they can't do without a court order. A Catch-22. So he was requesting help from the council....
Now, why is the Solar Panels such an issue, the first is Safety, as they have no safety shut-offs, so if the main grid power goes off, the Solar system could feed back into the grid, and could give someone an unexpected nasty shock. And it could cause problems in the building. A short could start a fire, which would damage the property, or worse injure/kill folks.
So having a Disneyland sign inspected to make sure it is property wired and grounded is important to everyone, including CM's and guests. If something bad happened, Disney would be open to lawsuits. So spending a few bucks is a very wise investment in the scheme of things.
Same with a personal residence. My Solar System has multiple cut offs, a special main panel, and multiple red signs to let everyone know what each box does.
And please, do not debate Marijuana in this thread. The info was posted to discuss building permits, and that it was a weird story, and how the Landlord is being punished for doing the right thing (reporting it to Code Enforcement).
