Super Bowl Parade??

[cel_disney]

I saw on Laughing Place that James White was going to DisneyWorld today!

Anyone know what time the parade will be?

My DH is in Disney for work and I am wondering what time it is incase he can scoot over to see it! He is a lifelong pats fan and will be missing the duck boat parade at home so thought that might be a suitable alternative...he's already had to watch the game in a bar with mostly Atlanta fans!!

It's usually before the FoF parade, between 2:00 and 3:00.

Yes; @subtchr is correct. It's being reported that the Super Bowl mini celebration is expected to be between 2:00 and 3:00 so it can run as the pre-parade.

The player and Mickey will be on a float or riding in a car ~ dependent upon the player's choice.

You're welcome! My CM friend who was "friends with" Mickey in the photo says a video should soon be posted on the Disney Parks blog!

Wow!! I wonder when they fit the trip in. The news people said the Pats attended a party last night and traveled home today. It didn't say anything about Disney World.

A couple players travel to Disney World (usually the MVP but sometimes QBs and notewble players will be invited as well) at the cost of Disney of course. They may also being their families and stay a little bit. It all depends on when their city holds the celebration tickertape parade on if they get to stay or not. Some just hop right back into a car to the airport after landing. He probably ahd an early morning flight if not private jet out of Houston this morning and took another flight out after the parade.

That's the sort of Park Hopper Express Transportation service I'd like to try!

Patriots charter arrived in Boston ~ 5PM yesterday, parade is today; lots of time for James to get home to Boston

The NFL has turned the MVP trophy presentation into an "event" the day after the Superbowl; doesn't seem like the MVPs will be able to go to WDW the day after the game anymore.

That makes sense why less and less it is the MVP. I know Disney also is cool for the parade to happen with in the media cycle of the superbowl which can last about a week so even if it was a day or two later it would still work. I was kind of shocked this years parade was on Monday so quickly.

Disney scheduled it for Monday a few weeks ago. All the CMs involved knew two weeks ago that it was on their schedule for yesterday.

That video is great!! Thank you for posting it here!

I'm so glad that he is enjoying the fanfare! It's well deserved!
