Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold and running back Kenneth Walker III are celebrating their Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots at the happiest place on earth!
Darnold, 28, and Walker, 25, were spotted at Disneyland on Monday, Feb. 9, on the rides and in a victory parade. The two footballers went for a spin at the iconic Mad Tea Party ride, as seen in an Instagram Reel shared by the NFL.
They also spent time with Mickey House during a victory parade to celebrate the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8.
Walker won the Super Bowl 2026 MVP title after a standout performance on the field at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. He ran for 135 yards, the most in a Super Bowl since 1998, and had 26 receiving yards. Walker has spent his entire career in Seattle, having been drafted by the team in 2022. In 2021, the former Michigan Wolverine was a Heisman Trophy candidate.
“We got the best team,” head coach Mike Macdonald said of his players, in part, before the game MVP pick was announced.
Walker then shared his gratitude for the recognition.

“First and foremost, I wanna thank God for this blessing to be here. Also, I want to thank my brothers, you know, this don’t happen without them. We went through a lot of adversity this season, but we came together and we stuck together, and you know, this is what we got,” Walker said in a post-game interview.
