Something BIG just happened in Disneyland…and we got to be there for it!
The Super Bowl Parade!
Now, there are some big things already happening in Disneyland, including some expansions, a new land, and a new ride. But today was the day of a rare parade. Yep, today was the annual Disney Super Bowl parade, complete with celebrities and everything!
Disneyland is crowded today with football fans because last night the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots in the 2026 Super Bowl in San Francisco. Following in true Disney tradition (aka the “I’m going to Disneyland! commercial), the Super Bowl parade made its way down Main Street, U.S.A.
Let the parade begin!
Ahead of the players, the band marched by…
The band!
…the cheerleaders hyped up the crowd…
Hi friends!
… and some familiar Disney faces led the way!
Our Disney friends!
The annual Super Bowl parade happens in either Disney World or Disneyland every year, with the location decided by the host city. With the host city being San Francisco this year, it only made sense to have the parade and celebration in Disneyland. This year, the parade featured Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and Quarterback Sam Darnold.
There they are!
The parade began at 1:15 PM today, February 9th, and made its way through Disneyland’s parade route through Main Street, U.S.A. The tradition of Super Bowl champs saying they were going to Disney World or Disneyland dates back to 1987 with New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms.
How cool is this?!
This year, they also streamed the parade live! ESPN broadcast live from Main Street, U.S.A., and it included First Take with Stephen A. Smith, editions of SportsCenter, NFL Live, and a live interview with Sam Darnold.
The stage was set up before the festivities began!
You can see him walking to his interview after the parade here. Look at those crowds!
Hey, Sam!
We love getting to experience this fun and unique experience once a year in Disney World or Disneyland. Congratulations to the Seahawks on their big victory.
We’ll be covering even more news from Disneyland and Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
