Super Bowl Week at Disneyland Resort!

We’re just a few weeks away from Super Bowl Sunday! You don’t have to wait until February 13 to think about the big game, especially if you’re at Disneyland Resort! Gabriel Gibaldi shared some exciting news with Disney Parks Blog:

Football fans, gear up for a week of magic as ESPN touches down at Disneyland Resort for Super Bowl LVI, with productions originating from Disney California Adventure park beginning Wednesday, Feb. 9, through Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 13. Downtown Disney District will offer a fan experience Thursday, Feb. 10 through Sunday, Feb. 13.

With “Postseason NFL Countdown,” “NFL Live,” and “SportsCenter” segments, “NFL Matchup,” an “ESPN Deportes” presence, and more, fans at home will receive all the news, analysis, and commentary around the crescendo of the 2021-22 NFL season, while Disney California Adventure park guests can enjoy a fan experience, view the productions and may even spot some of their favorite personalities in person.

I grew up in Western Massachusetts. When I was nine my family went to Disneyland and I was hooked. I grew up, attended New England College in Henniker, NH, and eventually moved to Virginia. I worked as a disc jockey, married, and became a full time mom when our daughter was born. Fast forward several years. In 2010, we moved to Central Florida and my Disney obsession grew. I now work as a freelance writer and spend my spare time in the Parks. Under the name Paula Brown, I penned the novels 'Dream Wanderers' and 'The Coffee Cruiser'. I also am a co-author of 'Dining at Walt Disney World: The Definitive Guide'. I'm obsessed with Star Wars, so this is a good time to live in Central Florida.
