Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III Going To Disneyland

After guiding the Seattle Seahawks to a triumphant

victory on Sunday, Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III and quarterback Sam

Darnold capped off the night at Levi’s Stadium outside San Francisco by turning toward

the cameras and delivering the iconic phrase that for decades has defined Super Bowl

glory —

“We’re Going to Disneyland!”

The jubilant scene unfolded after Seattle defeated New England, 29-13, with Walker

and Darnold standing on the field immediately after the game, surrounded by swirling

confetti and roaring Seahawks fans. Disney crews captured the moment for the newest

edition of its beloved Super Bowl TV commercial, which is airing nationwide and across

social platforms in English and Spanish.

The excitement now shifts to Disneyland Resort in Southern California which is

celebrating 70 years of The Happiest Place on Earth, where the highlight of the

festivities will be Walker and Darnold leading a colorful cavalcade down Main Street,

U.S.A. in Disneyland Park, in front of fans and guests, many of whom undoubtedly

watched them help deliver the win for Seattle. The day of magical Disney fun will also

include classic attractions, dazzling entertainment and encounters with beloved Disney

characters.With their team’s victory, Walker and Darnold become the latest NFL stars to take part

in a tradition adored by fans for nearly four decades. Disney’s long-running Super Bowl

campaign started in 1987 when New York quarterback Phil Simms first proclaimed he

was heading to a Disney park after winning the championship. Now, Walker and

Darnold join the distinguished list of athletes such as Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and

Jerry Rice who have been part of Disney’s Super Bowl celebration where sports glory

meets Disney enchantment. This is also a “homecoming” moment for Darnold who grew

up in San Clemente about 35 miles from Disneyland.

The Seahawks stars’ standout performances powered Seattle to a commanding Super

Bowl LX win, showcasing precision, poise and leadership on football’s biggest stage.

Walker’s efforts added up to 161 total yards, earning him the game’s Most Valuable

Player honor and, along with Darnold, the starring role in one of the most recognizable

commercials in sports and entertainment. The trip to Disneyland is also a homecoming

for Darnold who grew up in San Clemente, about 35 miles from Disneyland, and played

college football at the University of Southern California.

The handoff to Super Bowl LXI begins Monday with the cavalcade and live ESPN

SportsCenter broadcast from Disneyland which starts the countdown to next year’s

game in Los Angeles and televised on ABC. Super Bowl LXI will also mark the 40th year

of Disney Parks’ beloved “I’m Going to Disneyland!” campaign.
