The Mouse

Walt Disney's Personal Plane

As one of the many attractions in the pavilion, The Mouse - Walt Disney's Personal Plane is sure to be a delight amongst many a Disney history buff! The plane sits on an elevated fenced in platform within the pavilion for all guests to view the iconic aircraft. A plaque is stalled on the fencing that reads:

"This Grumman G-159 Gulfstream 1, otherwise known as The Mouse, served as Walt Disney's personal aircraft when scouting out the land for his second theme park. The story goes that as The Mouse flew over Central Florida, Walt Disney became entranced by the beauty and decided this was the place for his vision of E.P.C.O.T. Today this plane is displayed here at The Skies Above Pavilion to remind us the legacy of Walt's dream that has led us all here today to EPCOT Center!"
