Flying Disney Style

If you’re traveling to Walt Disney World it is already extremely exciting. It’s even more exciting if you’re traveling on an airplane that is Disney-themed. Walt Disney World and Southwest Airlines have partnered to create a Disney-themed plane. Here is what Taylor Atkins shared with Disney Parks Blog:

 

We have some exciting – you might say lofty – news to share. “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” honoring the past, present and future of Walt Disney World Resort on its 50^th anniversary, is taking to the skies!

This afternoon, before media and special guests in Houston, Southwest Airlines unveiled a very special 737-700 — dramatically pixie-dusted, nose to tail, in colorful graphics commemorating the 50^th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World Resort. Fanciful Disney accents also brighten the cabin space – down to the pulldown shades. Awesome, isn’t it? 

Today’s surprise reveal at Hobby Airport filled the hangar with the joyful sounds of music and included Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in the EARidescent fashions they’ll wear throughout the 18-month celebration in Florida, beginning Oct. 1.  Southwest also celebrates 50 years of flying in 2021, so this special aircraft is a double scoop of festive for two great brands.

To underscore the collaboration, the decorated plane flew its maiden flight to Orlando International Airport, where the arrival experience has been transformed with fantastical Walt Disney World Resort 50^th anniversary celebration décor.

So now “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” extends to the land AND the sky.  Let the celebration begin, and congrats to Southwest Airlines for 50 years.
