The plane's exterior maintains the airline's signature royal blue color, but it now also features gold images of Disney characters like Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh, pixie dust and a white rendering of the Magic Kingdom's iconic Cinderella castle.

Inside the airplane — which can be tracked via its tail number N954WN — the overhead bins are decorated with the same pictures, and on the window shades, you'll find your favorite characters (such as Toy Story's Woody) in the same metallic "EARidescent" paint.

The slogan "50 years. One heart" can also be seen on the plane, both inside and out.
