Eli Manning, Super Bowl MVP, Celebrates Giants' Victory In Walt Disney World (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 02/ 7/2012 9:27 am Updated: 02/ 8/2012 3:26 pm

"I'm going to Disney World!"

Since the first Disney ad ran in 1987, that phrase has been synonymous with a Super Bowl win. Not one to break with tradition, New York Giants' quarterback Eli Manning jetted to Orlando just one day after leading his team to victory in Superbowl 46.

Manning was treated to much fanfare at the Magic Kingdom. With Mickey by his side, he rode through the park in a red convertible and was showered with red and blue confetti, as well as the cheers of fans decked out in Giants gear.

After winning the Superbowl in 2008, Manning visited Disneyland in California.

The "I'm going to Disney World" tradition started in 1987, when NY Giants quarterback Phil Simms was the first to utter the iconic phrase after Superbowl 21. Watch Manning's and Simms' ads below, as well as photos of Eli and Mickey.

Eli at DisneyWorld...Gronkowski in a drunken dance video with guys in a club, no sign of the injured ankle...Mrs. Brady cursing and saying that her hubby can't throw and catch the ball at the same time...we see where the class is, don't we? Congrats, Giants and Eli, from a Saints fan...

I am a Connecticut Patriots fan but I have to say; "Mr. Manning you played an excellent game and while I am disappointed in the final score, congratulations to you and your team."

Uhmmmmm Disney is one of the few companies that actuall employ Americans at a liveable age and export their product abroad!

Get Real Celebtate, It's not Wal-Mart!

Go Eli and Big Blue

What is going on exactly? I imagine his going to Disney World made for a busy day. Busy day = boost to said bad economy.

Eli, like his brother and dad, are the greatest family of quarterbacks in the history of the NFL...and they are a great family outside the football field!!!

Mother and father think they are better than everyone..I guess they are elitists!
05:10 PM on 02/07/2012
You know them personally? If not, please don't pass judgement on them. They seem to have a wonderful family and a standard of morales. If they are elitists, then I want to strive to be like them!!

Good boys, those Mannings! No rape or assault or drug induced fights...that we know of. ;)

Eli still looks like a little boy among men out on the field. His recievers make him look a lot better than waht he is. He is not as good as his brother (when healthy), Brees or Rodgers. I would say he is better than Big Ben - but not as the level of Peyton/Brees/Rodgers.
04:25 PM on 02/07/2012
And I would say your a bitter hater.........you must be a patriot fan
07:44 PM on 02/07/2012
Nope not a Pat fan. Just a realist. He is to up and down. Needs to perform at consistent high level to be at level of Brees and Rodgers. Brady star is fading fast. How do you lose twice to the hapless Redskins twice in one year? The Giants are a good team that know how to use all of their available talents when it counts - they are hoisting the trophy. Congrats to them. They need to play consistent every week.

He seems to be the prince among men right now!!! If he does not get the ball to the receivers, they cannot receive - dah. They are a team and the team won the game and their magnificent rings and fame.
07:46 PM on 02/07/2012
They won the Super Bowl outright! Giants need to play more consistently. Losing twice to the hapless Redskins in one year? Congrats to them for winning the Super Bowl. Eli is capable of playing at Brees and Rodgers level - but does not week in and out. Eli will be a Hall of Famer. The Giants do know how to surge when needed - I give them that!

Oh, Eli your so fine!

Looks like leave it to beaver ...and junk!
