The final match (in 2001) pitted WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes rivals Bugs and Daffy.

The slogan originated during a November 1986 dinner between Disney CEO Creator/MichaelEisner and his wife Jane and the pilots Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, who had just completed a non-stop around-the-world flight. Jane Eisner asked what they were going to do next, to which they replied, "We're going to Disneyland." The Eisners latched onto the sentence as an ideal slogan, and Disney rushed a commercial into production. Featuring [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeagueQuarterbacks New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms]], it ran two months later, immediately after Super Bowl XXI, and became ''instantly'' iconic. The slogan is still a popular StockPhrase/[[StockParodies Stock Parody]].

A series of popular ads running since the late 1980s following a noteworthy accomplishment, almost always something in the sports industry (i.e., winning the UsefulNotes/SuperBowl), and involving one of the Ride/DisneyThemeParks. They went a little something like this:

* Nearly every episode of WebVideo/Smosh's ''WebVideo/FoodBattle'' series end this way. A reporter runs towards whoever wins the battle, exclaims that they've won the Food Battle, and asks what they're going to do afterward.

* The officially licensed novel ''[[ComicBook/XMen X-Men: Salvation'' has Iceman sit down in the middle of the street and announce that he's going to Disneyland after three days of near-continuous fighting against Magneto, the Brotherhood of Mutants, and all the unaligned mutants who came to Manhattan after Magneto took over the island has him completely exhausted both physically and mentally.
