After leading his team to a stunning Super Bowl win in New Orleans, MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts had one more thing to do: gaze triumphantly into the TV cameras and shout, “I’m Going to Disney World!” The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback stood victorious on the field at the Caesars Superdome, surrounded by confetti and cheering fans. This storybook moment was captured by Disney’s camera crews for their iconic Super Bowl commercial, airing nationally and on social media in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.
The celebration now moves to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, where Hurts will be the center of attention during a whirlwind day of Disney fun. He will experience signature attractions, dazzling entertainment, and popular Disney characters, culminating in leading a colorful parade down Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom.
This marks the second time in recent years that an Eagles player has been part of Disney’s Super Bowl campaign. Nick Foles visited in 2018.
Hurts’ efficient performance in Super Bowl LIX led the Eagles to a 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the season’s biggest game. He completed 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns, and added 72 rushing yards, setting a Super Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback. It was the ultimate comeback story for Hurts, who lost to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl two years ago.
Hurts joins some of the biggest names in Super Bowl history who have been part of the long-running Disney Super Bowl campaign, which started in 1987 when Phil Simms shouted those famous words after the New York Giants won the Super Bowl.
