New Disney/Westjet MagicPlane - sightings/tracking thread

[the_bUg]

Apparently Disney and Westjet have entered in to an agreement and produced this awesomely themed plane! I'm hoping, wishing, praying that I can fly on this impressively themed vessel for my January 2013 flight to Orlando.

So, If you have any scheduling information, or sightings or fly on this vessel, post any information you can!

Assuming it's flying out of Calgary tomorrow (as the article said that's where it was unveiled), the only WestJet flight to Orlando that day leaves at 9:55am. Hopefully it still gets off with the weather! If I wasn't stuck inside at work I'd watch for it!

The plane looks beautiful but westjet prices are to high to fly from Toronto rather fly from buffalo

 

[the_bUg]

Too high is a matter of perspective I guess. WestJet flights are always significantly cheaper out of Toronto than out of Winnipeg, but I fly westjet out of winnipeg regardless. It's just not worth the time/effort/hassle to me to drive several hours to the US, cross a land border, put myself up in a hotel, and pay for parking during my trip, etc, etc.

I HAVE emailed westjet asking if they can provide any information of the upcoming flights for this vessel. Haven't heard anything back yet.

From WestJet's twitter:

@chefboyarkay There's no way to ensure you're on it. The #MagicPlane will be flying throughout our whole network, not just do Disney.

which from the picture looks to be C-GWSZ.
