Walt Disney World is not only decorating their monorails and theme park buses with character wraps, but they’re also wrapping airplanes. TAM, a Brazilian airline, now has a Disney character wrap on one of their Boeing 777-300 planes. This is the first time one of these Disney wraps has been added to a Latin American airline’s plane. Back in 2013, a WestJet plane was painted with an image of Sorcerer Mickey.
The plane’s tail features a picture of the castle with a backdrop of fireworks. The fuselage bears a likeness of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy riding a roller coaster, followed by the Walt Disney World logo.
It took 536 adhesive panels to cover 9,063 square feet on the airplane; these took 10 eight-hour days to apply.
“The Plane of Dreams” debuted in a ceremony with Tinker Bell waving her wand to remove the curtains and revealing the airplane behind. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy were also on hand at the event.
The plan will fly internationally, with its first trip to Orlando scheduled for today, February 23.
