Tennis Superstar Serena Williams Coming to Walt Disney World Resort

Originally published at Disney Parks News

Serena Williams’ remarkable tennis career has taken her all across the world, from San Diego to Santiago. But for Williams, who is a huge Disney fan, there likely isn’t a better place to celebrate the evolution of her career than Walt Disney World Resort.

At the US Open tennis tournament in New York, which is expected to be her last competitive event, she left little doubt. When asked what she was going to do next, she turned to the TV cameras and shouted… “I’m going to Disney World!”

That iconic phrase, uttered by countless champions of their sport, will be part of the latest Disney campaign. That has followed major sports and entertainment moments for more than 30 years. Like the other sports heroes who have been featured in the Disney campaign, Williams is appearing in a national TV commercial airing nationwide and on social media platforms and online sites today. That pays homage to her extraordinary tennis career that changed the sport of tennis. And inspired a new generation of more athletic young tennis prospects.

With toe-tapping entertainment, popular Disney characters, and a festive atmosphere.
