Aladdin's Oasis -- The Perfect Spot for an Indiana Jones Bar???

My head was spinning early in the week when the news of an Indiana Jones themed bar going in at Disney Springs.  This is great news for fans of the franchise and a good sign of more possible Indy fun to come.

If you missed that news --here is my blog about it.

I immediately started wishing for one out at Disneyland. 
With Trader Sam’s already at the Disneyland Hotel –where could it go?  The answer to that question is Aladdin’s Oasis in Disneyland.

The space is basically empty other than the occasional meet and 
greet for Aladdin and Jasmine.

In fact the last time it got regular usage was ironically during the summer of Indy –when Crystal Skull came out.   Here is Indy at Aladdin's Oasis..

The location is perfect  --situated between the Tiki Room and the Jungle Cruise.  This area already has the seating leftover from a long time ago when it was the Tahitian Terrace.  They could  knock out the one wall and have a view of the Jungle Cruise boats coming back into the dock.  

It could be called Sallah’s Oasis,  or Shortround’s Tavern.  Just a skip away from Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye.  Think Trader Sam’s meets the Dawa Bar in Animal Kingdom with Indiana Jones treasures all over the bar

A major hurdle to this is that Disneyland doesn’t currently sell alcohol in the park (other than Club 33).

This old tradition is odd because just across the way at DCA you can pretty much get an adult drink at every food location.  There is Avalon Cove bar,  a beer cart and a entire wine section.  You can even order a beer at the hamburger restaurant.   They have drinks at Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Disney Studios ----It is time Disney stepped into the modern world in this respect.

Hang in there and let's see what happens!!!  If the Indy bar in Orlando is a success like Trader Sam's on both coasts and West Coast Indy Bar can't be far behind.

And the Star Wars Cantina is most certainly on the way once the expected Star Wars Expansion takes place.

Shopping Disney: The Adventure Outpost: Indy merchandise

Other than Disney and Star Wars the other thing I'm the biggest fan of is Indiana Jones.   Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite movie of all-time and the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland is hands down one of my favorite rides.  So even though it hasn't changed in 20 years I had to take the family to the Indiana Jones Stunt Show when we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios.  

Once we finished the ride I had to check out the Adventure Outpost to see if they had any new Indy merchandise.

Here is a glimpse at the Indy merchandise that they had at Disney's Hollywood Studios

I still wish they would come out with a Goofy Indy... Because that would be amazing.   Mickey Indy is pretty cool though

I love that they carry some of the books in Orlando.  Being a huge Indy fan I read them all years ago and would recommend them to any Indy fan.   They don't stock these at Disneyland --I wish they would and I wish some new ones would come out as well.

I especially loved the look of this shirt.

Let's hope that now that Disney owns Lucasfilm that more Indy will be on the way sometime soon.
