Michael Phelps: Yep, He Went To Disney World

August 30, 2008

Michael Phelps was welcomed back to the United States with a bang when he participated in a welcome-back-you’re-awesome parade yesterday at Disney World. (It was officially titled “America’s Homecoming Parade” but I like my name better.)

Phelps rode next to Mickey Mouse on the parade route and then joined Minnie Mouse, who escorted him outside of Cinderella’s Castle.

“I am so happy to celebrate here and see some of the fans who supported me,” said Phelps. “It’s great to feel so much excitement around the sport of swimming in the U.S. and around the world. To top it all off with a parade at Disney World is just incredible.”

Phelps also met with some young swimmers from central Florida who got to ask him about his recent record-breaking experiences.

Is it just me or are his hands huge in the above picture? Whoa!
