Proud of Your Boy (Original Story Reel with Clay Aiken singing)
Aladdin's Magical Carpet Adventure (Virtual DVD Ride)
Inside the Genie's Lamp
3 Wishes Game
The Genie World Tour
Alan Menken: Musical Renaissance Man
The Art of Aladdin (Art Review with Commentary, Gallery)
Publicity (Theatrical Trailer, Gallery and Sequel Trailers)

I've not had chance to watch them yet but I think the special features are all standard def. I can live without the games, but I really wish they'd included the animators commentary and the Alan Menken: Musical Renaissance Man feature.

That said this is only a single disc release and the Diamond in the Rough feature alone is still more than most 2-3 disc Diamond Editions get these days, so I'm relatively happy with the release. There's nothing new but most of the important features were carried over (and Aladdin was arguably the best Disney DVD for special features/additional content to begin with).

I wish there was at least one new feature, but the DVD features covered everything in so much depth it's hard to think what they could add unless Disney was willing to release the full story board reels for the Original Version of the film with all the cut Ashman/Menken material, and that's pretty much unheard of. Maybe if the US release isn't until next year we can get a short feature on the new show (TLM3 had a feature on the Broadway show) or some new Deleted Songs like BOAK and High Adventure since people will know them from the musical.

Hey, wouldn't it be pretty amazing if they one day did a set that featured the Original Version story reels, the uncut unrestored cinema release, the hi def restored digital version and the stage show complete with behind the scenes stuff taking your through each version and how the original version was melded with the final film version to create the stage version. Never gonna happen, but it would be a very unique release with some fantastic behind the scenes material.

Sorry, got distracted there. The most important thing about this release is that the film looks gorgeous in HD!

I also now have the blu-ray (was released in March in Australia) - mine is different artwork on the cover though. I have the same special features as Chris.

My blu-ray also includes the film on DVD as well plus a digital copy.

Also brought on the same day a DVD box set of Aladdin, Return of Jafar and King of Thieves - but are just normal DVDs and not blu-ray. Has the movie music mode, sing along mode, games and DisneyPedia.
