Be sure to also read my article on Walt Disney's airplane that includes some rare photos of the interior which you can find by clicking HERE. It's a wonderful piece of Disney history and offers us an amazing, first-hand account of being on Walt's personal plane, a Grumman Gulfstream I. Ed played Bashful on the "coast-to-coast" publicity tour, and he shared his fond memories of the tour and being on Walt Disney's personal airplane.
The website interviewed Edward Grant, one of the cast members who participated in the 1967 event. Today's article comes to us from a wonderful interview done by the fantastic website Filmic Light - Snow White Archive, which is a non-commercial site dedicated to the documentation of all things Snow White. In today's new article, we'll hear from someone who played one of the dwarfs to get their first-hand account of the tour and what is was like flying on Walt's plane. The Disney characters were scheduled to visit 18 cities on what was billed as a "coast-to-coast" publicity event. The idea eventually came up to take Snow White, along with the dwarfs of course, on a personal appearance tour across the country and, this is the best part, they used Walt's own personal airplane to do it. The year was 1967, Disney was looking at unique ways to promote the re-release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to theaters all across the United States.
