Baltimore Ravens quarterback and Super Bowl XLVII MVP Joe Flacco was honored at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., on Monday.
Flacco was the guest of honor in an afternoon parade at the Magic Kingdom that featured Mickey Mouse wearing a football costume, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
On Sunday night, Flacco became the latest athlete to utter the phrase, “I’m going to Disney World” after winning the Super Bowl.
Flacco was also a guest on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" on Monday night.
On the show, Flacco was asked if he had spoken to Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti about a new contract.
"Well, you know, actually, I only talked to him a little bit before this game, but before the New England game, you know, he just came up to me and said, 'Listen, this is our time, and go get 'em. We have all the faith in you, and this is going to be your team for a long time,'" Flacco said.
Flacco told Letterman he turned down an extension offer from the team last year.
"Well ... when I wasn't signing what they wanted me to sign, (Bisciotti) said, 'Listen, when the time comes, I mean, you come and beat on my desk,' and I said, 'All right, I'll take you up on that,' and I think the time has come."
Flacco was sharp in the postseason, throwing 11 touchdowns with no interceptions. He threw three touchdowns and passed for 287 yards in his MVP-winning performance as the Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 34-31.
