Walt Disney's Private Transport

Sorry for what must seem to be a totally pointless thread and please dont ask why I need to know this but can anyone tell me what aircraft it was that Walt Disney used to fly himself and his execs between the various studios. I believe the aircraft is currently sitting in Disney MGM-Studios Orlando as part of the Studio Backlot tour so if anyone can spread any light on this for me it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks for the help!!!

Disney used to have a Gulfstream 1 if my dim and dusty memory serves correctly - N234MM rings a bell - "234 Mickey Mouse" might have been its call sign!.

Edited to say "look what I found...." (bored at work!)
