Eli Manning’s going to Disneyland / Walt Disney World

Update: Superbowl MVP Eli Manning is a no show at Disneyland parade in his honor.

Superbowl MVP Eli Manning. You’ve just won Super Bowl 42. What are you going to do next?

I’m Going to Disneyland! I’m Going to Disney World

Yep. Eli Manning uttered those famous words last night after captaining a rousing come from behind win for the underdog New York Giants.

Sometime today, Manning is scheduled to live out another dream – heading to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif., for a celebratory parade down Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland Park. Manning’s visit to Disneyland will include a dream-come-true meeting with young football players from the Tustin (Calif.) Pop Warner football team. The Tustin team also will be part of the gala parade down Main Street, U.S.A.

Also see this great story in the SF Gate about the man who captured the moment on film. What a great job to have.

The full press release is below the cut.

Narnia: Prince Caspian Super Bowl Spot

All you people who were only planning on watching the super bowl to see the commercial spot for Narnia: Prince Caspian can thank me now. . Well, what do you think? Looks pretty good to me. Hope that $2.7 million for 30 seconds of airtime was worth it.
