New Pixar Pier-Themed Plane Unveiled by Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines has revealed its special-edition plane themed after Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Park.

Alaska Airlines has had a great relationship with Disneyland Resort for the past 20 years. This is the sixth painted plane from Alaska Airlines that allows our guests to be immersed in a Disneyland Resort celebration even before they arrive at the parks. The inaugural flight departed today from Seattle, with a stop in San Francisco for a gate ceremony and then on to its ultimate arrival in Orange County.

The aircraft is aptly named, “Friendship and Beyond at Disneyland Resort” and is a whimsical tribute to the parks newest land, which opened back in June of 2018. Take a look at how this amazing paint job was added to the air plane:

The unique aircraft design is a collaboration between Alaska Airlines, the Disneyland Resort and Pixar Animation Studios. The Pixar Pier-themed 737-800, tail number N537AS, begins flying throughout Alaska’s route network today, welcoming guests with its artistic flair for many years to come.

The exterior of the plane required more than 2,800 work hours and 24 days using 50 gallons of paint in 44 primary colors and custom shades. The Toy Story trio of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie span both sides of the aircraft, while Aliens can be spotted on both winglets. Even Rex the Tyrannosaurus makes a special appearance (hint: he is in a place that will welcome everyone boarding the aircraft). On board while supplies last, little ones may enjoy the Disneyland Resort Activity Fun Book and Kids’ Choice Picnic Pack.

All the while, a gallery of “bug” characters cheer you on from his side. Prizes may include a plush Heimlich, Flik, Francis or Candy Corn.

La Luna Star Catcher

Staying in theme, the prizes include a variety of plush toys: stars, the moon and even Bambino.

Bullseye Stallion Stampede
Rediscover the fun of racing to the finish line with your favorite “Toy Story” stallion, Bullseye. Aim just right to roll the rubber balls into the perfect spot, making your horse ride like the wind. If your horse crosses the finish line first, you can win a plush Bullseye, Woody or small pony to call your own!

These pay-per play games offer you the chance to win adorable prizes of all sizes. To play the games, you’ll need to purchase a special play card with prepaid credits at a dispensing machine located near the booths.
