Super Bowl Hero Santonio Holmes Celebrates With Victory Parade at Walt Disney World Resort

Steeler Nation” shifted the victory celebration east from Tampa to Walt Disney World Resort Monday as thousands of black-and-gold-clad, Terrible Towel-twirling fans of the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers lined Main Street, U.S.A. They came to Magic Kingdom to be part of something that has become an iconic moment of post-Super Bowl celebration – to cheer one of their newest conquering heroes, Super Bowl MVP wide receiver Santonio Holmes, in a victory parade.Just hours after he and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hooked up for a surgically precise touchdown pass with 35 seconds remaining to earn Pittsburgh a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, Holmes was riding high, smiling and waving back from a convertible as he celebrated at Walt Disney World Resort.Holmes was doing precisely what he said he was going to in the latest episode of the long-running Disney commercial that asks people who have just experienced a milestone, “You are celebrating your (accomplishment) … What are you going to do next?”: In chorus with Roethlisberger, Holmes beamed and screamed, “We’re going to Disney World!”

Titanic the Experience finds new home on I-Drive

Titanic the Experience has found a new port of call on Orlando’s International Drive. After several months as a special exhibit at the Orlando Science Center, Titanic the Experience has been moved to a new home at 7324 International Drive and recently had its grand reopening on January 16.

This brand new 20,000 sq ft attraction features one-hour guided tours by actors in period costumes portraying Captain Smith, Molly Brown, and other Titanic notables. Visitors can walk through full-scale recreations of the doomed ship’s most famous rooms, her Grand Staircase, First Class Parlor Suite, Boilers, and Promenade Deck, which includes a blast of North Atlantic air, recreating the chill of that fateful night in April 14 – 15, 1912 when the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the ocean, taking 1,523 passengers with her.

The exhibit also showcases an extensive Underwater Room, displaying an 8-foot replica of Titanic as she appears on the bottom of the Atlantic today as well as over 200 artifact and historical treasures, including movie memorabilia from James Cameron’s blockbuster film, TITANIC. There is also a new interactive ‘Dive Area’ and the “Captains Bridge”
