Since it was first said back in 1987, sports enthusiasts wait to see who will be the next to say one of the most famous five word phrases: “I’m going to Disney World!” It is a statement that has been said by many members of winning sports teams right after a major victory, including the Super Bowl. So who will be the one to say it this year? Who knows, but I am sure we will find out at the final of Super Bowl XLIII this Sunday.
Since we will not know the answer to who will be the next, let us take a look at previous “I’m going to Disney World!” exclaimers.
It all started when New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms said those very words for the first time after his team’s victory in Super Bowl XXI. Once said it was used in many Disneyland and Disney World commercials for years to come and since then has become the most popular statement associated with victory.
Others expressing the popular catch phrase include Eli Manning, Tony Dungy, Dominic Rhodes, Hines Ward, Tom Brady (at least twice), Jon Gruden, Brad Johnson, Kurt Warner, Emmitt Smith (at least two times), John Elway (also said at least twice), Michael Jordan, Nancy Kerrigan, the 1999 Women’s World Cup United States Championship Team and Santa Claus (commercials during the 1996 gift-giving holiday).
Let us see who will be the next after the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers compete this Sunday in Tampa, Fla.
