Excited fans lined the streets, cheering on the 17-year-old singer from Garner N.C., as he joined Mickey Mouse in a convertible sports car and greeted fans before taking the microphone to sing his new hit single, “I Love You This Big” in front of “The American Idol Experience” attraction in the Disney theme park.
On Wednesday, McCreery was crowned the “American Idol” in a star-studded 10th anniversary season finale that was viewed by an estimated 29.3 million people.
In addition to the parade, McCreery later surprised guests by making an unannounced appearance on-stage at “The American Idol Experience” attraction inside the theme park.
McCreery’s visit to Walt Disney World Resort also celebrated “The American Idol Experience,” the popular “American Idol”-themed attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.
“The American Idol Experience” – the first major theme park attraction in the world based on the popular television series phenomenon – was developed by Walt Disney Imagineering in conjunction with 19 TV Ltd and FremantleMedia Enterprises. In the attraction, Disney guests are able to experience the glitz and glamour of the “American Idol” television show, whether they are auditioning for a Disney producer, performing on-stage in front of a packed theater, or voting for their favorite performance from their audience seats.
Performers who receive the most audience votes in preliminary shows return to star in that evening’s grand finale show. In addition to their new-found theme park fame, the top vote-getting guest in the finale show receives “The American Idol Experience” Dream Ticket – which allows an eligible holder to schedule a front-of-the-line audition at a future regional audition for the “American Idol” TV show.

Awesome!!!! I went to Disney World in January of 2010 with my fiance and I tried out for the American Idol Experience! I didn't make it through the first round though. Oh well, it was still fun. We went to the final show of that day and it was awesome!!
