China Eastern Airlines went out and got a new wardrobe for its airplanes, which are perfect for a day out at the upcoming Shanghai Disney Resort.

As the world found out recently, the airline updated the livery on one of its planes to celebrate the opening of Disney's newest theme park.

And like a kid walking through the magical turnstiles for the first time, we are beyond excited to see the park.

Until June 16 comes, we get to savor Mickey and Minnie Mouse soaring above China's skyline.

Thanks to Twitter, we get a peak at the delightful Disney livery.

Shanghai Disney Resort announced the new China Eastern Airlines design earlier this week.

According to the release, China Eastern will sponsor the Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride at the park.

The multi-year deal also means China Eastern planes will get myriad Disney-themed paintjobs over the coming years.

First is the Mickey/Minnie scheme you see above. But we are also promised an Enchanted Storybook Castle livery as well.

And now we are in the mood to rummage through the closet to find our Mikey ears to share in the celebration.
