LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – After making memories with his heroic play in Super Bowl XLVIII, what is Seattle Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith going to do next? In the frenzied moments just after his team claimed the National Football League championship Sunday night in New Jersey, he stood in front of a TV camera and shouted five words that have become an almost iconic reaction to milestone achievements: “I’m going to Disney World!”
Smith’s pronouncement, part of the production for one of TV’s most enduring and celebrated commercials, was captured after the Seahawks’ 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos – a game during which he returned a 69-yard interception for a touchdown, recovered a fumble, and had nine tackles.
On Monday, Smith will celebrate the Seahawks’ big win with a Super Bowl Victory Parade down Main Street U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom.
The “I’m going to Disney World” commercials have remained popular for more than 20 years. The campaign pays tribute to personal achievements of athletes and continues to be an iconic celebration as only Disney can do.
Smith was also named the MVP—Most Valuable Player – of the game!
