Disney lands in Los Angeles the week of Shanghai Disneyland’s 10th anniversary

Disney flew from Hollywood Burbank Airport to Los Angeles International Airport on June 16, 2026, a 1-hour-26-minute hop aboard the Gulfstream G650ER tail N397RW. The short flight from the company’s home base to LAX is not unusual, but the timing coincides with a milestone for the company’s most ambitious international resort.

The same day, Shanghai Disneyland marked its 10th anniversary with a gala event featuring former CEO Bob Iger and current CEO Josh D’Amaro, who appeared on stage to light the resort’s “wishing star” and pledge further expansion, per Nikkei Asia and WDW News Today. The flight lands in Los Angeles as the company’s top executives return from a week of festivities in China, where Disney also confirmed the name of its third Shanghai hotel and progress on a Spider-Man coaster.

Disney’s recent flight history shows the aircraft spent the past 24 hours orbiting near Shanghai, likely repositioning after the anniversary events. The Burbank-to-LAX leg suggests a return to the West Coast for the executive team, possibly ahead of the company’s next quarterly board meeting or investor update.
