The Realist’s Take
Disneyland once again proved that it’s not just a haven for frantic children hyped up on sugar-plum fantasies – it’s ready for some football, folks! In a scene straight out of a fairytale playbook, the gladiators of gridiron, better known as Michigan and Alabama, were treated to a magical cavalcade. Cinderella was noticeably absent, though – guess she’s not a fan of getting tackled. As teams with beastly records gear up for a historic first face-off at the Rose Bowl, we can only hope that the thrill of Space Mountain will pale in comparison to the on-field spectacle! So here’s to Mickey Mouse tactics, fairy dust strategies, and an enchanting match that’d make Walt Disney himself cheer from the sidelines. Now, if only my bookie accepted magical beans.
