“We’re going to Disneyland!”
The Super Bowl has a number of valued traditions surrounding the event. From simple pleasures such as signature appetizers at a viewing party to the illustrious entertainment that is the halftime show, the annual event never fails to deliver.
However, it’s rare to have customs occur after the conclusion of the big game — but that’s the case with players going to Disney.
In recent history, viewers still tuning in to watch the postgame celebrations can hear a familiar “When You Wish Upon a Star” jingle overcome the speakers of their TV. On the screen, the camera has members of the Super Bowl-winning squad, including the MVP, and you can hear the infamous phrase declaring their intent to visit one of Disney’s theme parks.
In 2024, it was no different. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs earned a second consecutive championship by defeating the 49ers in overtime at Super Bowl 58. After the win, Mahomes, who won a third career Super Bowl MVP, joined his family to proudly belt out those four words of marketing gold to Mickey Mouse executives.
