Video: American Idol Winner Lee DeWyze Parade and American Idol Experience Appearance at Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World has provided us with this footage from the procession at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort earlier today. The newly crowned American Idol winner is seen traveling along the park’s Hollywood Boulevard with Mickey Mouse up to the American Idol Experience, where he addresses the crowd of fans and hangs out with Mickey and Minnie Mouse before heading inside into the American Idol Experience to make a surprise appearance. Towards the end of the video, Lee answers some questions including his take on the American Idol Experience, his new-found celebrity and his expectations for his first album.
Warning: The video does contain excessively loud screams from fans, particularly during the parade portion. Do keep your volume low for these moments.

Commercial: ‘American Idol’ Winner Lee DeWyze is Going to Disney World
Following in the footsteps of former American Idol winners Kris Allen and David Cook, newly crowned Idol Lee DeWyze muttered the famous phrase just moments after the announcement: ‘I’m going to Disney World!’
The commercial is a tradition that dates back to 1987 and has featured mostly athletes from professional sports (as well as the Olympics) but began featuring American Idol winners in 2008 in honor of the opening of the ‘American Idol Experience’ at Walt Disney World’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park.
Below is the commercial provided courtesy of Disney Parks:
UPDATE: Lee will partake in a special parade up along Hollywood Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at 10 am on Monday, May 31
