TAM passengers will be immersed in the Disney experience as soon as they set foot on board with the airline saying there will be a themed service, and special elements in the flight attendants' uniforms.

To wrap the plane, it took 536 adhesive plates, totalling over 9,000 square feet of prints, applied carefully over 10 days, with eight hours a day of intense work.

The new plane is the first Latin American airline with a Disney-theme and will be used for guests travelling on international long-distance routes.

'With this aircraft, the trip to Walt Disney World, the place where dreams come true, becomes even more magical,' said Ramiro Vasquez, Director de Marketing and Sales for the Latin America of Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts.

'For the executive, there is no better time than now to plan a visit to Walt Disney World.

'We will have new attractions and amazing news in all four parks this year. No one can miss it!'

The aircraft debuted this week with a special inaugural ceremony, with the big unveil taking place after the wave of a wand by Tinker Bell herself.

Other Disney characters included the famous mouse himself who also attended the event and mingled with attendees.

Full Disney theming: Images show food on the plane being presented in the shape of Mickey mouse.

Pilots caught Disney fever too with hats, gloves and even a plush toy of Mickey dangling from the cockpit ceiling.

A few lucky guests were able to witness the unveiling of the large plane before it took its first flight to Orlando.

The exterior of the airplane shows the magic and fantasy of Walt Disney World and portrays the characters having fun on a roller coaster.
