The record-breaking NFL player is no stranger to the House of Mouse. In 2010, he appeared inthe famous “I’m going to Disney World!”commercial for the brand after his Saints won Super Bowl XLIV, besting the Indianapolis Colts 31 to 17 in Miami Gardens, Florida. He later appeared in a parade at the Magic Kingdom, and often makes the trek from New Orleans to visit the Orlando, Florida-based resort with his family.

Brees’ team narrowly missed out on another Super Bowl appearance this year, falling to the Los Angeles Ramsin a tough NFC championship loss. The Rams took the lead with anovertime field goalfollowing an allegedly blatant controversialpass-interference call missfrom the referees.
“[It has] been difficult, it was a heartbreaking loss. Obviously, we all had the expectation we would be here and obviously had worked so hard for it. You have to worry about the things that you can control, and that’s something we don’t control,” Breessaid on theTodayshowin February.
“As we think about and look forward to next season, I love our team and the opportunity that we have,” he added. “I think we have the best fans in the country in all of sports, and their passion andemotion was certainly felt after that game, [and] over the last week and a half.”
