The Super Bowl celebration that began in New Orleans late Sunday night took a magical turn on Monday when Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts enjoyed a super-sized day of family fun at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
Making good on his iconic “I’m Going to Disney World!” proclamation, the Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback followed in the footsteps of NFL legends by taking part in Disney’s celebrated post-Super Bowl tradition. Hurts and his loved ones made a whirlwind trip from the Big Easy to The Most Magical Place on Earth, immersing themselves in the magic of the Magic Kingdom.
Hurts spent the day experiencing signature attractions, interacting with beloved Disney characters, and delighting fans as he rode in a colorful parade down Main Street, U.S.A. His visit was the perfect culmination of the Eagles’ post-game celebration, which began immediately after they dethroned the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
With three touchdowns and a Super Bowl-record rushing performance by a quarterback, Hurts led the Eagles to victory, avenging their Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs two years prior. His stellar performance on the field and joyous celebration at Disney echoed the tradition established by Super Bowl champions before him.
Since Phil Simms first uttered the now-famous phrase after leading the New York Giants to victory in 1987, countless NFL heroes have marked their Super Bowl triumphs with a celebratory trip to Disney. Hurts’ memorable visit continues this beloved tradition, giving fans yet another reason to celebrate an unforgettable Super Bowl moment.
