In case you found yourself wondering what the official Cruise Line Destination of UCF football was, fret no longer.
The program announced on Friday it has entered a sponsorship agreement with Walt Disney World to make the House of Mouse not only the official cruise line of the UCF Knights, but also the official theme park, water park and resort of all things Josh Heupel and company.
“Walt Disney World Resort and UCF share a commitment to making Central Florida a key destination for sports,” said Faron Kelley, vice president of Disney Sports. “With this agreement we hope to reach even more of Knight Nation.”
The “multiyear” agreement will lead to Disney signage inside Spectrum Stadium and in-game promotions during Knights games.
“As Orlando’s hometown college football team, we are thrilled to be teaming up with Disney to add a touch of magic for fans at Spectrum Stadium,” UCF AD Danny White said. “Additionally, this agreement enables UCF to have the most unique student-athlete experience in the country as every year all of our student-athletes will have the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World Resort.”
This is the second time UCF has tried to use its location for branding purposes. The Knights “honor” their proximity to NASA with space-themed uniforms once per season.
