Today I focus on all things “Aladdin” at Disneyland. Can you guess the era of pic #1? The hairstyles and clothing should be a dead giveaway that we are now in the 90s. Specifically October 1993, about a year after the Disney animated feature was first released. Princess Jasmine and Jafar are hanging out in Town Square. Below is a February 2006 shot from Aladdin’s Oasis in Adventureland, where you could see a “live” show featuring your favorite characters from “Aladdin.”
I have always enjoyed seeing the displays in the Main Street Emporium windows, including this June 2008 one featuring Princess Jasmine and Aladdin:
Soundsational is one of my favorite Disneyland parades. A bouncy soundtrack with all the favorite Disney tunes, colorful floats, and a lively show that included characters from “Aladdin,” as seen in this August 2012 photo.
The Genie was also part of Soundsational, circa October 2011:

“Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular” ran at DCA’s Hyperion Theatre from January 16, 2003-January 11, 2016. I never tired of watching this mini-Broadway show that has to be one of the best shows ever mounted inside the Disney Parks.
From May 2004:

The set design did an excellent job of bringing the animated film to life, as you can see from this September 2011 photo:
A happy ending, every show (November 2010):

Last one that I can think of is Storybook Land. You can see the lamp:

Did I miss anything else Aladdin from Disneyland?

I've always loved Aladdin's parade and live show costumes. Lots of beautiful details, but not so many that they get lost from a distance.
That Aladdin show at the Hyperion was not just amazing, but probably the pinnacle of all shows that have ever ( or will ever ) be there. So many people just walked on by the entrance, never fully aware of what an amazing show went on inside. The flying.... Wow. I'm grateful I got to see it just once.
Melissa - Agreed. Aladdin's costumes are perfect for a parade! The colors, the way they move...
Just once?!? Bryan - why is that??
Sadly I had never been aware of it prior to 2014. I had an annual pass at that time and saw it with my Club 33 member friend. I don't think I've come back to Disneyland since then.
