See below...........
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. |

It doesn't always happen during the MVP's speech after the match, which it has to for the bet to win. Generally the MVP gets to make a TV ad for Disney shortly after the SB

One of the most popular Super Bowl prop bets each year is the length of the National Anthem. In 2012, Kelly Clarkson rolled in at 1:34, while the previous year saw Christina Aguilera clock in at 1:53 after skipping a line. This year, Alicia Keys is singing the anthem, and the over/under has been set by Bovada at a whopping 2:15.
Why so high? Well, apparently Keys told MTV News that she would be doing it "my style and my way". Bovada's Kevn Bradley indicated that such a comment is enough to move the over/under up: "Whenever a singer announces they will do their own rendition of the anthem, it complicates the situation because it usually runs much longer," said Bradley. "You are never sure what to expect." The last two years, with Clarkson and Aguilera singing the anthem, there has been some content on YouTube featuring their previous versions of the Anthem. I did a quick search of YouTube and I am not seeing any versions of the Anthem from Alicia Keys. That makes the process of wagering a little bit more difficult. That also means sports books might be flying a bit in the dark themselves with speculation. I would lean towards taking the under. Christina Aguilera is a bit of a "long" singer and she still would have come in well under 2:15 if she had hit all the lines two years ago. I imagine it will be close, but the "under" wager seems like a better bet. |

Last year Paddys had a market where you could choose a bracket for the time like 1min 50 to 2 minutes and they got it hopelessly wrong so we managed to get 5-4 on a time bracket that should have been about 1-10 :) !
Im fancying unders as everyone hates a long drawn out anthem and Keys suggestion that she is going to change makes me believe it will be less. |

I don't like the wording of that Disneyland bet. "Applies to the live parts of the Sky broadcast programme. MVP must be heard to say the exact phrase."
As the question is usually asked as soon as the game ends (the Simms one was shot as the players were walking across the field to shake hands), are you going to hear them say it live? Also, they ask one where the reply is "I'm going to Disneyland", but also one where the reply is "I'm going to Disneyworld." |
