Is Aladdin’s Oasis Returning to Disneyland?

Disneyland

Were you a fan Aladdin’s Oasis at Disneyland? Good news! Per permits filed, it appears that the venue will be returning to Disneyland Park!

Aladdin’s Oasis originally opened as Tahitian Terrace back in 1962 and featured a dinner show. Then in 1993, it transitioned to an Aladdin-themed dinner show and received the Aladdin’s Oasis name. However, the Aladdin dinner show only lasted just about two years and the venue became a restaurant on peak park days. Currently, the venue has hosted meet and greets along with the occasional special event. If you are not familiar with the location, it is located between The Enchanted Tiki Room and The Jungle Cruise.


The permits filed indicate that the work on the venue will be a “dining conversion.” It appears that work on the venue will begin on January 18, 2018 and some of the modifications to the building include renovations to the interior restrooms and demolishing an exterior wall. The permits also indicate that a current deck will be extended.

Keep following along with us as more details are announced!

‘Old’ Driver’s Licenses Will Be Permitted for Flying According to TSA

'Old' Driver's Licenses Will Be Permitted for Flying According to TSA

Earlier this year, residents of the following states flying to a Disney Destination (or anywhere for that matter) were advised that their driver’s licenses would no longer be valid documentation for flying domestically as of January 22, 2018. Travelers were advised that an alternative ID was also going to be required in addition to their driver’s licenses. This change was due to the states not updating their licenses to the REAL ID law required now by the federal government. The states without the updated licenses are:

  • Kentucy
  • Maine
  • Minnesota
  • Missouri
  • Montana
  • Oklahoma
  • Pennsylvania
  • South Carolina
  • Washington

Well, now it appears that the TSA has changed their stance on this requirement. TSA spokesman, Mike England, said in statement released Wednesday that residents in all 50 states can continue to use their “old” driver’s licenses until October 1, 2020. In addition, it appears that many of the states listed above have started updating their licenses so it looks like all United States residents should be compliant by October of 2020.

The 104th Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, CA kicks off on New Year’s Day between the Oklahoma Sooners and Georgia Bulldogs. As with previous teams playing in the Rose Bowl, the two teams must up at Disneyland prior to the big game for some fun and magic!

First, the two teams participated in a ceremony at Disney California Adventure park, hosted by former all-pro and host of ESPN SportsNation, Marcellus Wiley. During the ceremony, Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart were welcomed by Disney California Adventure Vice President Patrick Finnegan in front of the rocking new attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! along with Tournament of Roses President Lance Tibbet.

Representing the University of Oklahoma were tight end Mark Andrews, offensive lineman Orlando Brown, defensive end Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and defensive back Steven Parker. Representing the University of Georgia were running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel, offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn and linebacker Roquan Smith.

After the ceremony, players and coaches from each team experienced Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! and went on to enjoy even more Disneyland Resort fun.

The 104th Rose Bowl Game airs on ESPN on Monday, Jan. 1, 2018 at 5 pm EST. Oklahoma finished the regular season with a record of 12-1 and claimed the Big 12 Conference title, while Georgia defeated Auburn to win the SEC Championship, also finishing with a 12-1 record.

Who will you be cheering for? I might live in Georgia but it’s going to be Boomer Sooner for me!

It’s a sad day for Star Wars fans.  Not only is this the one year anniversary of Carrie Fisher’s death, but another cast member from “A New Hope” has passed away.
