Walt Disney’s Grumman Gulfstream I plane is making a cross-country journey to Anaheim, California, where it will be on display for fans attending the sold-out D23 Expo 2022 presented by Visa from September 9 through 11. D23 and the Walt Disney Archives, along with D23 Expo Platinum sponsor Amazon, have restored the plane’s exterior for guests to see in a specially curated exhibit in the Arena of the Anaheim Convention Center called Mickey Mouse One: Walt’s Plane presented by Amazon. The exhibit will highlight the history of the plane—also known as “The Mouse”—and showcase its significance in The Walt Disney Company’s history.
The newly repainted plane with updated wing edges and windows will be on view along with never-before-exhibited items from the aircraft’s interior, including a customized instrument panel originally located near Walt’s favorite onboard seat that allowed him to monitor flight conditions; a telephone handset that gave Walt a direct line of communication to the pilot in the cockpit; a flight bag featuring an image of Mickey Mouse sitting on the tail of the iconic plane; and more.
Walt’s plane will return to the West Coast for the first time since October 8, 1992, when the plane landed on World Drive in Orlando, Florida, at Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney’s Hollywood Studios), where it resided as a part of the Studio Backlot Tour until 2014. The recent exterior repaint and finishing work, along with the cross-country move of the aircraft, was made possible thanks to collaboration and support from Walt Disney Imagineering.
In 1963, Walt acquired the iconic Gulfstream that would come to be known as “The Mouse.” The interior of the plane, initially designed with creative input from Walt and his wife, Lillian, seated up to 15 passengers and included a galley kitchen, two restrooms, two couches, a desk, and nods to the mouse who started it all, including matchbooks and stationery adorned with a silhouette of Mickey Mouse.
Mickey’s initials were eventually included in the tail number of the plane, too, as N234MM, in 1967. Throughout its 28 years of service to The Walt Disney Company, the plane flew 20,000 hours and transported an estimated 83,000 passengers before it was grounded.
D23 Expo will kick off Disney100, a celebration of the 100-year history of The Walt Disney Company, and in this all-new exhibit, guests will be invited to “take to the skies” and learn about the role this iconic plane has played throughout the company’s history:
In 1963, Walt, members of his family, and company executives took off on a demonstration Gulfstreamaircraft to explore potential locations, including Central Florida, for a proposed development often referred to as “Project X.” After Walt received his own Gulfstream in early 1964, he made several trips to Florida that ultimately laid the foundation to bring the magic of Walt Disney World to life.
Walt’s plane flew a total of 277,282 miles back and forth between Burbank and New York to oversee preparations before and during the 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair, an event that brought iconic attractions such as “it’s a small world” to an East Coast audience and, later, to Disneyland.
The plane also took Disneyland to new heights as Walt found inspiration for the look of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction as he flew over the El Moro fortress in San Juan, Puerto Rico, while conducting research for the now fan favorite.
“The Mouse” has a star-studded past, having been used for promotional tours for Disneyland as well as for classic movies such as The Jungle Book(1967), as well as making appearances in The Walt Disney Studios films The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969) and Now You See Him, Now You Don’t (1972), both of which starred Disney Legend Kurt Russell. The aircraft has also transported notable guests including Disney Legends Julie Andrews and Annette Funicello, as well as former U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.
Painted blue and white in 1985, Walt’s plane embarked on goodwill tours and character visits to children’s hospitals, adding to the company’s history of giving back to the community.

Last October, “31 Nights of Halloween” propelled Freeform to rank No. 1 among primetime cable networks in entertainment across Adults 18-34, Women 18-34, and Men 18-34 (excludes sports).
Here is a night-by-night list of the programming airing during “31 Nights of Halloween”:
Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights is back in 2022 with an all new Terror Tram and thrilling haunted house experiences. This year’s iconic “Terror Tram” expands to include a cinematic twist on Jordan Peele’s blockbuster films in a crossover experience that reimagines Us, featuring The Tethered, a revolutionary army of vengeful doppelgängers, whose uprising invades the all-new Jupiter’s Claim set from the filmmaker’s latest pop nightmare, Nope, as part of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, which kicks off on Thursday, September 8.
We had the opportunity to walk through two Haunted Houses with mastermind creative director and Executive Producer John Murdy at a special behind the scenes tour. Here are all the details and photos. ***SPOILER ALERT***
“The Horrors of Blumhouse” brings to life Blumhouse’s supernatural thriller The Black Phone and horror-comedy Freaky. In past years, the Blumhouse scare experience has relied on a movie theater motif of triple features from the latest of movie production Blumhouse’s horror film library. Spinning off from a passing joke during planning for this year’s design in the Waterworld stunt show queue, a new facade theme in the shape of an abandoned rental video store now takes hold. The first 2/3 of the maze is based on 2020’s horror-comedy Freaky starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton. A supernatural dagger switches the bodies of a 17-year-old girl with that of a murderous serial killer.
Trying to come up with ways to convey the slasher and comedy nature of the movie was especially a challenge for the team to find a balance in bringing to life. The Universal Studios theme park maintenance and engineer teams even wanted a hand in creating the gags to be used for the maze. Our tour didn’t see much blood or webbing as those details will come later on just before opening night. Even the walls still had color testing pallets posted to try out the evening lighting package later in the work schedule.
The set design took us from a home, to the bedrooms of our main characters, high school hallway, and the wood shop. The last third of the attraction transitioned to the world of The Black Phone. In that movie, a man known as The Grabber has been kidnapping children in the neighborhood, only for the victims to meet a grisly end. A wooden fence will have postings for the missing children and then turn to the The Grabber’s house; complete with living room and kitchen.
The distinctive floor tile from the movie’s basement was significant enough for the design team to incorporate. This is not done very often as most people would not notice the floors while walking through the dark hallways of the maze. The room with a bed mattress, victim, and kidnapped boy on the black phone concludes this part of the tour.

“Universal Monsters: Legends Collide” expands on the thrilling legacy from Universal Pictures as the most notorious horror icons, The Wolf Man, Dracula and The Mummy, come together for the first time ever in an epic battle.
Both Universal Studios Orlando and Hollywood were tasked to put on this project. Project leaders in Orlando wanted to set everything in Egypt, and Hollywood wanted a London setting. The marketing department wanted something consistent for both coasts. Finally the decision was made to do both as a two part story. Orlando will setup the monster showdown in Egypt while Hollywood concludes the match in London.
This will also give die-hard fans who travel to both coasts an opportunity to experience the theme in a unique way. What makes the Hollywood version even more special is the fact that is on a real movie studio lot. The Halloween Horror Nights team was able to dig out screen-used movie props from The Mummy (1999) film franchise out of the world-famous prop warehouse and re-use them for Universal Monsters: Legends Collide.
The “Alucard” name on the facade is Dracula spelled backward. Providing a clue that the head vampire himself is the owner of the shipping business. The terrifying trio of Dracula, The Mummy, and the Wolfman has never depicted on screen. Making this original story concept extra special and a prefect blend for both Universal Monsters movie fans and scare maze enthusiasts come to undead life. Our main antagonists are linked by their respective curses symbolized by a colored moon.
The red blood moon for Dracula’s thirst for blood. The orange moon for The Mummy’s suffering of immortality and unrest. The blue moon haunts The Wolfman into an uncontrollable beast. They are all after one object to ease their tortured souls, an Egyptian burial amulet: The Amulet of Amun-ra. Often depicted in the maze a scorching ray of light beaming out of a glowing chest.
A nod to one of John Murdy’s favorite films, “Pulp Fiction”. Guests navigate their way into the shipping warehouse on the London docks, winding through the holding room full of Egyptian artifacts from their crates, funneling past the storage racks, the ransacked curator’s office, a suspenseful graveyard inspired by Highgate Cemetery in London, and finally the museum where the high priest of Karnak meets his doom. Each legend brings with them a special surprise.
Dracula keeps pleasant company with his brides. The mummy brings to life an army of the undead. And a mistranslation reveals the Egyptian god of Anubis was not depicted as part jackal, but rather part wolf. The final scare should be a great highlight to a mesmerizing and well-detailed must-do attraction on everyone’s scare maze list for the 2022 season.
Universal Studios Hollywood has been prepping for Halloween Horror Nights leaving day time visitors a glimpse into what is to come. Decorations have been spotted in Universal Plaza, New York, Little Europe, and Animal Actors. “Sideshow Slaughterhouse” turns New York Street into a battle zone as the performers and workers from a seedy carnival sideshow are on a murderous rampage.
“El Pueblo del Terror” is an extension of “La Llorona: The Weeping Woman” as the horror continues once guests exit the haunted house and discover there is no escaping the frightening legend along with other supernatural characters from Latin America’s most frightening myths.
