July 2, 1993 – The Dinner Theater Area Aladdin’s Oasis Opens in Disneyland

Aladdin's Oasis

“…a whole new world of fun, food, and adventure at Aladdin’s Oasis – the newest dinner show at Disneyland.”

On July 2, 1993, the dinner theater-style entertainment area Aladdin’s Oasis opened in Disneyland, replacing the Tahitian Terrace. The show was released to capitalize on the success of the 1992 animated feature film. The area gave guests a show filled with songs and dances by characters from the film while they enjoyed Americanized-versions of Middle Eastern food, including papadam wafers and tabbouleh. The show was discontinued after a couple of years, but the restaurant was still in operation until 1997, when it became a storytelling area; it has since become a meet-and-greet area where guests can meet Aladdin and Jasmine.

“Travel back to a time when water was the fastest mode of transportation.”

On May 19, 1971, the Critter Country attraction Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes opened. Originally a Frontierland attraction called Indian War Canoes, the attraction was closed in 1971 and moved to Critter Country. The dock of the attraction has moved several times due to the natural changes of the banks of the Rivers of America. This is one of the only attractions that requires a large amount of guest participation, as guests must use the paddles to move the 35-foot long canoes around Tom Sawyer Island. The Disneyland version has been replicated in other parks, including Walt Disney World (the attraction closed in 1993) and Tokyo Disneyland (the attraction was renamed the Beaver Brothers Explorer Canoes in 1992).
