Maybe it's related to the location of the game, since Phoenix is much closer to DL

It's just that this year's stars will only be appearing live at DL. "This year's campaign though will only send the players to the West Coast, which isn't much of a surprise since the game was in Glendale, Arizona, and closer to the original Disney theme park. Disney World has hosted the parade for the last six years, with Eli Manning the last to appear at Disneyland after his first Super Bowl win 2008, which was also held in Glendale. Every Super Bowl since has been closer to Orlando."

Since well before I became the Disney fan that I am today, I was familiar with the phrase "I'm going to Disneyland!", vaguely aware it had to do with the Super Bowl winners. In the past few years, I became aware that they actually went to WDW and had the parade there. I thought it strange that the phrase would be "I'm going to Disneyland!" when they actually went to WDW. When I mentioned this, people looked at me strange, and told me the phrase actually was "I'm going to Disney World!" Well, now the mystery is solved. I grew up on the West Coast, but no longer live there.
