Success of Disney’s Animated Film “Aladdin” Mouse House managers seemed happy.īut then Disney’s “Aladdin” opened in theaters on November 25, 1992. So budgets were approved, schedules were set. Which – given that the Happiest Place on Earth relied heavily on the annual visits of millions of Southern Californian locals in order to meet its annual attendance goals – seemed like a great idea. This plan meant that – for four years – Disneyland Park would have something new to help drive up attendance levels. And then – 15 months after that (May of 1995) – the Indiana Jones Adventure come online at this theme park.A year after that ( January of 1994), Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin would throw open its doors.Then – in January of 1993 – Mickey’s Toontown (Disneyland’s first new “land” in over 20 years) would open just seven months later at the very back of the Park.“Fantasmic!” – this theme park’s new nighttime show – would open in May of 1992.Disneyland had what it thought was a solid expansion plan for the early 1990s.
