I bet they have Citation X's since they look like Mikey Mouse from a front-on view.

I know several years ago when I lived in FL, they had a G-I, yup, the old prop job and that's all they had. I'm sure times have changed in the last ten years...

By "several" this guy meant "decades". The Mouse House was flying GIIIs in 1985 when I worked across the taxi lane. They formed a LLC some 10+ years back called EarthStar and while they had GIII/GIVs, DA50s and HS125s they transitioned to Bombardier products and now fly Globals and Challengers from their Burbank, California facility.

The GI, when they had it, had a N number, of 123MM. You have to be be of a certain generation (like me) to understand that one.

The G-I is actually N234MM, and was used during Walt's explorations of central Florida to scout out unused and undeveloped land outside a small and unknown Orlando. It is still on display in the Backlot Tour at Disney's MGM Studios (soon to be renamed to Disney's Hollywood Studios) in Walt Disney World.
