2/6 Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning Visits the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World
Hi everyone!
There was a lot of excitement in the Magic Kingdom today as New York Giants Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning was honored with a Victory Parade. The quarterback sat with Mickey Mouse in a car that led the motorcade down Main Street before Manning answered questions in the Rose Garden.

This is not the first time that Eli Manning has been honored at a Disney park. In 2008, he won the Super Bowl MVP and was due to visit Disneyland – but due to weather and other committments, he didn't make it until May of that year.
Many guests had t-shirts and signs, welcoming Eli Manning to the park. Cast members made sure everyone was in place before the motorcade traveled down the street.
Red, white and blue balloons brightened the parade route (and sometimes broke free):

Kids with NFL Play 60 t-shirts were part of the procession. NFL Play 60 encourages kids to exercise for 60 minutes per day to combat obesity.
