The Super Bowl is just a few days away now. And as the world holds its breath to watch the iconic game take place at Allegiant Stadium. Let us discover the history and reasoning behind the phrase “I’m going to Disney World”. A phrase that you have no doubt heard after the game ends.

The first Super Bowl was played in 1967 in Los Angeles. But the Disney World or Disney land phrase came into inception two decades later. So who is going to utter these famous words this time around?

Disney World and the Super Bowl are linked

Starting in 1987 as a partnership with The Walt Disney Corp. this became a phenomenon soon after. Phil Simms, the New York Giants QB, was the Super Bowl MVP that year. And after the game, he starred in a commercial airing the next day. He was the first one to utter the phrase and since then, all the footballing greats have used this phrase.

Initially, it was a sponsorship deal to appear in the advertisement. But it soon flourished into a post-game phrase as well. Usually, the Super Bowl MVP is granted this honor and he can visit Disney World or Disney Land with one teammate of theirs.

But, the trip isn’t the only thing that the MVP gets. Since its inception in 1987, the MVP has been receiving a fee for saying these words. And reportedly, last year’s Super Bowl MVP got a cool million dollars from the Walt Disney Company for it. So who will be the lucky man this year?
