When Disney Meets ‘Orange Is the New Black’

While some may find the juxtaposition of cartoon character faces on human bodies creepy, I think this Disney and Orange Is the New Black mashup deserves a mention.

There were no babies on the plane save for one extremely well-behaved toddler, the food was probably the best airplane food I've ever had (did you see this Instagram photo I uploaded?), and there were electrical outlets between each seat, so I was able to use my laptop almost the entire flight. :-P What's more, flying is one of those...
