“Congratulations! You’ve just won the Super Bowl! What are you going to do now?”

This question is always asked to the winning team at the end of every Super Bowl game, with the players announcing that they will be going to Disneyland. In fact, this tradition started way back in 1987 when the Disney CEO, Michael Eisner and his wife, Jane, were visiting with a couple who had flown the first airplane around the world without stopping for fuel. It is reported that Jane asked the pilots what they planned to do next. The pilots’ response was “We’re going to Disneyland!” Jane thought the comment would be a good slogan for Disneyland and her husband got right to work pitching the idea to the National Football League. Only a few weeks later, Phil Simms from the New York Giants was asked, “You’ve just won the Super Bowl. What do you plan to do next?” He answered, “I’m going to Disneyland!” With that, a tradition was born! Every winning team since 1987 has answered that question in the same way.

Stretching our minds, we wondered where we would like to go if we had just won the Super Bowl. Check out our video to see our answers!
