Aladdin (1992)

I have so many questions when it comes to Aladdin. Outside of recognising the racism as I've gotten older, none of Jasmine's decisions truly make sense. Where was she headed in the middle of the night? We don't see her until the market the next day so where did she stay? Did she just find a random alley and sleep there or did she just wander the streets of Agrabah? And what was her endgame? You can't seriously tell me that she knew what she was going to do once she left the castle if she didn't even know what money was or how one pays for items.

Then, how did the guards who see her every day not recognise her just because she had a hood on? I get why people didn't recognise Aladdin in his Prince Ali get-up, because that involves magic, but Jasmine's is essentially a Clark Kent situation.
