Nothing fancy, but a nice bonus for people in the park that day, and a publicity opportunity for the parks; if only they could have had some Ravens-colors for the balloons, it would have looked a lot nicer! And they really should do something about Mickey's football helmet (like never allow it out in public). It just looks a little...special. The costume would look better with no headgear, IMO, since the ears make it too difficult to make much look good.

Originally Posted By Doobie I don't think the parade got in the way at the park at all. Those that wanted to see it waited patiently. But other than that, it was hardly noticed. A few balloons at the hub, a few more on Main Street, a small roped off area in a place that didn't inhibit guest flow hardly at all, and that's about it. Then he's on the parade route about 5 minutes and it's over.

I could care less about sports but Love to know this is the way the game ends every year. I would be heartbroken if WDW did not have this commercial forever. It is a brilliant marketing campaign for Disney Sports and their guests. I actually walked into a restaurant/sports bar and it stopped me in my tracks...me+watching or listening to Sports...very rare. But hey I want to go to DisneyWorld too!!!
