First things first, congratulations to your 2010 Super Bowl champions, the New Orleans Saints!
As is now tradition, Saints QB Drew Brees teamed up with Disney for their now annual “I’m going to Disney World!” commercial. More details from Chip and Co.
On Monday (Feb. 8), Brees was to go to the place where millions of vacationers celebrate their personal milestone moments – Walt Disney World Resort. He was to be joined in the Magic Kingdom by NFL Youth Football players, who will participate with the Saints star in a Super Bowl celebration parade down Main Street, U.S.A.
This latest commercial is the 42nd of a series that began in 1987 following Super Bowl XXI. The first “I’m going to Disney World” commercial, featuring New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, was regarded as a groundbreaking concept – a produced national commercial involving a current event, airing on major networks within hours of its conclusion. Brees joins a lineup of people from sports and beyond who have celebrated milestone accomplishments in “I’m going to Disney World” commercials.
UPDATE: Drew Brees is scheduled to visit Walt Disney World Monday for a special ticker-tape parade at 11:55 a.m. at Magic Kingdom Park. (via Chip & Co.)
Brees seems like a genuinely nice guy, and he seems like he really has a special affection for the city of New Orleans, so it was great to see him and the city win the Super Bowl last night. Who knows, maybe we’ll see some PLB-Drew Brees connection in the near future? Or maybe one of the other Saints?
Stay tuned!
