The visit will conclude with a celebratory cavalcade down Main Street, U.S.A., where park guests will be able to see the Super Bowl champions as they ride through Disneyland.
During Sunday night’s game, Walker and Darnold delivered standout performances that helped power Seattle to the championship and secure their place in Super Bowl history, according to Disney.
The tradition of Super Bowl winners heading to Disneyland dates back to 1987, when New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms first delivered the line, “I’m going to Disneyland.”
For Darnold, the trip also carries a personal connection.
He grew up in San Clemente, about 35 miles from Disneyland, and played college football at the University of Southern California.
