FAREWELL to WestJet's Disney Plane!

[@ice711real]

Major respect for flying on this beauty even tho you've already filmed it. That's a shame it's going in for a re-painting, in my opinion, one of North America's modt iconic liveries!

Been able to work on both of these, always was exciting to see them! Edit: Hah! Wrote this comment sitting at the terminal waiting for a fuel load for my next Calgary flight, it’s GWSV 😂 will be my first time seeing it after being repainted

[@Everything-Wii]

My Father works a mechanic for westjet in Halifax. He just did the final work order on it as a magic plane. He was there for the opening party and the closing one. What a journey this plane had.

[@wilsonsymons3721]

I actually met a sailor from my ship (DDG123) that actually painted the Frozen airplane

[@JayJayAviation]

I’m lucky enough to have flown on both Disney planes many years ago, and even the Tartan tail 700s that were around for a couple months in 2015. Will be missed. Great video as always.

[@cvr24]

Thank you Alex. 10:20 WestJet 2024 and WestJet 2013 might as well be completely different companies.

[@cskvision]

Got to hand it to your dedication to fly with mickey when the chance came. Glad to hear luck was on your side Alex. And thanks for taking us along for the flight!

Great vid as always, sad to see these liveries go. Nice to have you at YEG :)

[@boeing_737max4]

Much love from Edmonton hoping to see you fly out and plane spot more here! Keep it up!

[@ManualFlying]

Lucky that you caught this flight and its short enough trip that hopefully it was more affordable. The plane literally left this morning from YYZ to Jacksonville as WS8956 btw.

[@TheJakeUtube]

I used to work at the company that is painting it. Flightstar Aircraft Services.

[@Enchanted_dorito]

Beautiful livery that is!

[@jonathansampson8153]

You are my favourite aviation KZbinr. Great content.

[@ChadOhman92]

I flew on this plane on a positioning from YVR to YEG once. It was wonderful - we had special Disney napkins among other things. I'll sorely miss this livery because it was one of those things that really made WestJet different from the rest. I loved seeing these two liveries at the gate because they were just so nostalgic and just so magical. I imagined taking my (future) kids on these magical planes to those magical destinations. Such a shame. o7 to these two liveries.

[@tonyblack2731]

I’m glad that you were able to fly on this livery. I remember how excited I was to find out that I was going to fly the shamu livery on southwest years ago.

[@rynndash]

As a westjeter I’ve been on the magic plane a few times with my family. It’s sad to see it go but we will be getting a max with a new livery this year.

[@31031962a]

Wow, this brings back memories! We flew home from Las Vegas in 2016 i do believe on this plane!

[@The_1nonly_J]

I live in a small central America country with one small intl. Aiport but we were graced with this beautifull plane one day and I am so happy I got the opportunity to be there when it came I will always remember that day and these 2 special planes 💙 goodbye westjet's special planes !

[@aircanadaexecutivemember]

It's a lovely livery, Alex. Amazing video!

[@beefbrisket168]

I have been in both WestJet Disney Aircraft (as ground service crew). The Interiors were crazy themed according to which to it's livery.

[@ThatOneAviator777]

I’ve been on that plane! I went from St John’s in Newfoundland to Toronto in Ontario! I went on the Mickey Magic plane. It was a wonderful experience!! Already loving this video!

[@Doit4UONLY]

Saw this plane in February at YYC airport.pretty cool! sad to see it retiring

[@psychojunkanooproductions]

im from the bahamas .. one time i saw this flying over Nassau heading to Toronto... i watched it til i couldnt see it anymore...

[@doughboi007]

That's a really special ride you got there. Glad you were able ot make it work.

[@AviaGrapher_ID]

Beautiful livery ❤❤❤

[@767aviation6]

Glad I got to see it here in FLL and photograph it before it got repainted.

[@tynovel]

I'm always excited when you do a trip report!

[@davidv2002]

flew on mickey, couple years ago from YEG to YHM. was an early morning flight so didn’t notice I was flying on mickey at first. but i was pleasantly surprised to see it when I left. especially since you exit directly onto the tarmac at Hamilton, so glad to have had an upclose view of mickey

[@SaskPlaneSpotter]

Frozen plane landed in Saskatoon yesterday👍🔥😎Excellent video too!

[@jackmason864]

Seeing that swoop plane brings back some memories of cheap flights 😢

[@jamesreid5134]

Glad I lucked out to get on this from Abbotsford to Calgary in early April.

[@bS7580-i9q]

Hey Alex, I happened to actually photograph your plane leaving YEG on Thursday. I had come into work early (after waiting for 2 weeks to catch it) and was all set up beside taxiway B to get it rolling past, however they switched from runway 20 to 30 and I only managed to get some airborne shots. It’s going to be sad not seeing this plane around anymore. The timing of this video is even more on point as C-CWSZ made its last flight in this livery today, as it looks like it was shuttled to VQQ for repainting.

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

Ah that's brutal, I was hoping we'd take 20 too since the light was better on my side for that runway 😅 Hopefully you were still able to get something good.

[@BriTanuki]

Great video as per usual ❤ love your commentary and the clean footage

[@an62211]

I was lucky to have flown on the 'Mickey' in 2015 from Halifax to Costa Rica! The backrest covers had the stars on them. We had to disembark directly on the tarmac in Liberia, so we had a great close-up look at the Walt Disney paint job!!

[@markynio]

Thanks Alex!

[@jbaviationpix]

I Have been Very Lucky enough to Spot and Photograph these Special Liverys from WestJet i will miss seeing it on the WestJet 737-800's

[@gary9775]

I flew on the Frozen one once about 2 years ago, coming from Cancun to Calgary. Fancy graphics, but it's still just a plane. As for the extended comfort seats, they don't seem to be living up to the promises they made for people who book them. At least I didn't get the extra perks they promised when I flew Calgary to Cancun and back again in early May

[@matthewgranger8356]

I’ll always remember watching the Frozen plane being de-iced in the bay next us.

[@JetSetter14]

Nice video!! Love this plane

[@mariachrzski18]

Sad to see the Disney liveries go but at least they will be repainted into the new WestJet livery! I hope they do the same with the Swoop planes soon.

[@brianball6670]

I've been lucky enough to capture images of both liveries coming into YYZ. Sorry to hear they are gone. Have you seen Iceland Air's Aurora livery? Apparently the interior LED lighting mimics the northern lights.

[@imagin3_wagon]

I hope westjet make another special livery again in the future

[@Islander40]

Fond memories of seeing Sorcerer Mickey land on YYJ's 27 from back when I used to work in Sidney. They will be missed!

[@magnustan841]

Well, there’s at least another Disney-branded Canadian airliner, that AC Dreamliner wearing the “Wish” livery. AC had just started service to my home country and I’m waiting for that opportunity to go and photograph it. It visited for the first time a few weeks ago, but I’m currently schooling, so plane spotting isn’t top of my priorities now… 😂

[@michaelcutcliffe437]

Great video Alex! I only fly WestJet .....

[@snowz_overkill3580]

One of the best aviation experience was flying Calgary to Toronto on the Mickey plane and then from Toronto to st. John's with the Mickey flight

[@Arslantheplanelover]

I actually live about 40 miles from their paint shop. If I had known this retirement earlier, I would actually enter there and go spotted. They’re arrival and go painting.

[@aviatornoah]

Why was the takeoff roll so long, if the flight wasn't full and the route was so short? (little fuel)

[@Skipsy]

I feel lucky after having never seen either livery in person before, the Frozen plane pulled up to my gate in Atlanta and that was my ride to YYC, just a couple weeks before it was repainted.

[@JUVI9596]

We flew on it like 10 years ago to Vegas

[@Theonewhoseeks12]

I was very lucky few months ago I’ve seen both of these plane! Such a shame that this plane is getting repainted

[@nicholasbartas2065]

are these aircrafts being painted in the new livery?

[@parallax_aerial_photography]

I got to fly on this plane on May 21 from Calgary to Toronto. Had no idea it was that special. Shame I didn't have my camera with me so all I got was a few garbage phone photos...

[@Amtran727]

Great video! Too bad they are letting these special liveries go. I'm in Chicago and have been wanting to fly on American's 737-800 N905NN. It's the one that is in the 1960s "Astrojet" livery. I fly American whenever I fly but I dont fly often enough to have gotten lucky with this plane yet. Hopefully one of these days before it is repainted.

[@wilsonsymons3721]

I saw this airplane only once when it landed in San Diego last year

[@Kaii-b1h]

Hey Alex! Love the vids! You should try flying contour airlines, there small fleet consist of interesting aircraft’s-- keep up the good work

Did you go on the inaugural flight on the 737-700 to Pdx?

[@jessemillington5988]

Great video, wish i was with you! I understand companies obviously have done some boring research on actual branding and that they think it will not affect sales by having spent the extra $$ painting special planes. However my money and currently yours just bought an extra seat to fly on it... so how many other aviation guys would do so, that is a cost I bet they don't factor in sales. So just by having these planes over the years, maybe the sales from airplane people or like minded folks actually did pay for it and ridership.

[@thatoneguyRyan1]

The plane is now painted back to its original livery.
