In a tradition started by Walt Disney himself in 1959, the Disneyland Resort hosted this year’s Rose Bowl teams in advance of their New Year’s Day game in Pasadena, Calif. Players and coaches from Stanford Cardinal and Michigan State Spartans were celebrated in a special ceremony this afternoon in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle in Disneyland park.
After the ceremony, the teams enjoyed some Disneyland Resort fun, stopping by Cars Land in Disney California Adventure park and the classic attraction, Matterhorn Bobsleds.
The Disney Parks Blog wants to wish both teams good luck in the 100th Rose Bowl game on January 1, 2014!
