The Happiest Place on Earth without me

"You just won the Super Bowl what are you going to do next?"

"I am going to Disney World"

One of the most well known advertisements that is almost not even an ad at this point. Growing up in Tampa exactly one hour and four minutes from the happiest place on earth I grew up a Disney kid.
