If you are a big American Football fan, you know that one of the teams (that I didn't even know!!) won.
I know, I'm a disaster in names and teams. Definitely not a sport person...
Anyway, Aaron Rodgers (one of the players of the winning team, the Green Bay Packers) just visited the Walt Disney World resort, and was part of a special parade (that, by the way, was delayed until 3:30 p.m.).
Here's the announcement, from the Disney Parks Blog:
Super Bowl Champion Aaron Rodgers – ‘Going to Disney World!’
Aaron’s pronouncement, part of the production for one of TV’s most enduring and celebrated commercials, was captured after the Green Bay Packers’ 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers – a game during which Aaron threw three touchdown passes and was named MVP.
On Monday, Aaron Rodgers will celebrate the Packers’ big win with a Super Bowl Victory Parade down Main Street U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom.
This is the 25th year of the “I’m going to Disney World” commercials. The campaign pays tribute to personal achievements of athletes and continues to be an iconic celebration as only Disney can do.
Update: 1:59 p.m.– Today’s ticker-tape parade at Magic Kingdom park celebrating Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers has been delayed. It’s now scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET – weather permitting.
Here you are some pictures of the event:

Rodgers was 24 for 39 for 304 yards and threw three touchdowns in the Packers' Super Bowl win. Immediately after Super Bowl XLV was over, Rodgers shouted "I'm Going to Disney World!" and "I'm Going to Disneyland!" for TV cameras as the star of the latest Disney Parks advertisement.
