We are just days away form the Rose Bowl which means… the teams from Michigan (Go blue!) and Alabama arrived in the magical realm of Disneyland!
Rose Bowl Tradition
As done with many teams before, the day started off with their first pregame official appearance- a horse and carriage ride on Main Street, USA. One carriage carried Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh as well as Michigan players Mike Sainristil (defensive back), Kris Jenkins (defensive lineman), and Blake Corum (running back).
Another carriage carried Alabama head coach Nick Saban as well as Alabama players Jalen Milroe (quarterback), Dallas Turner (linebacker), and Malachi Moore (defensive back).
This pre-parade procession also included the President of the Tournament of Roses as well as the 2024 rose Queen and her royal court.
The Pasadena City College Tournament of Roses Honor Band, renowned for its exceptional musical talent, took center stage, enchanting the audience with their captivating performance during the parade!
Afterwards, Disneyland Resort hosted media for questions with the head coaches and featured players. The teams then spent some time conquering Thunder Mountain as well as snapping group photos with Mickey in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle
Ready For the Big Day
As we stand on the brink of the Rose Bowl, this day at Disneyland adds an extra layer of excitement to the already intense matchup. For players, coaches, and fans alike, this unique blend of sports and theme park magic creates a memorable prelude to what promises to be an unforgettable showdown on the football field.
