Alaska Airlines is encouraging travelers to dream big and embrace adventure with the debut of its newest and most magical aircraft, the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Flyer.
In partnership with the Disneyland Resort, Alaska Airlines revealed the colorful new livery at Portland International Airport before the plane embarked on its inaugural flight to Santa Ana, California. Drawing inspiration from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Princess and the Frog, the design highlights Princess Tiana’s adventurous spirit and celebrates the next exciting chapter in her journey with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the lively, music-filled water attraction at Disneyland Park in Anaheim.
The Boeing 737-800 showcases a breathtaking exterior featuring Princess Tiana, celebrating her inspiring journey and the enchanting Tiana’s Bayou Adventure experience at Disneyland. Bringing the design to life took artists over 2,000 hours, with delightful details like Louis the Alligator splashing among bayou water lilies, a shimmering trail of friendly fireflies stretching from nose to tail, and appearances by Mama Odie and Prince Naveen on the winglets. Starting this summer, young travelers can also enjoy a special Tiana’s Bayou Adventure snack pack available for purchase onboard, while supplies last.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Flyer debuts just in time for the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, which kicks off May 16, 2025, and continues through summer 2026. The milestone event honors seven decades of magic and countless joyful memories with limited-time entertainment, vibrant decorations, themed food and beverages, and more. Disneyland Resort remains a top destination for Alaska Airlines guests traveling to Southern California.
This newest livery joins Alaska’s cherished collection of Disneyland Resort-themed aircraft, including “Mickey’s Toontown Express,” featuring playful scenes of Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald and Daisy Duck at Mickey’s Toontown; the sleek, space-black “Star Wars Transport to the Disneyland Resort” celebrating Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge; and “Friendship and Beyond at Disneyland Resort,” showcasing larger-than-life images of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Park.
