Because the winner of MVP parade was located in a state that sightly nearest to Disneyland. However, it maybe also because Disneyland was the centerpiece of Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration, where the majority of the worldwide company-wide celebration occured there (in California, the birthplace of now-become-TWDC).

This is entirely about geography.

For the second year in a row DL hosting the parade. For many years regardless of where the Super Bowl was played MK hosted the the MVP down Main Street less than 24 hours after the SB win. Cast members know that fully well who have worked for a number of years and a number of fans travel to WDW just for the MVP parade.

Wait, people travel to the MK expecting the parade to be there? Sounds like poor planning with the game being held on the west coast.

As stated it comes down to the geography of where the Super Bowl was being played, pretty standard. Been that way for as long as I can remember.

From 2017-2021 all the Super Bowls were played in East Coast stadiums, hence why the parade was held at WDW. This is why it made it seem like it was "always" at WDW.

Last year was the first year since 2016 that the game was played in a west coast stadium, last year being in Inglewood. So it was held at DL. because why would you have the team go to WDW for a game played in LA, doesn't make sense. And that continued this year with it being held in Arizona. And as stated probably next year with it being held in Vegas. Btw, in 2016 when it was at Levi's in the Bay Area it was done at DL too.

Disney has known since the stadium was picked that they were going to do it at DL, which means CMs should have known too. Heck even the Disney Parks twitter announced it several days prior to the game:

Thanks Patrick and the rest of the Chiefs…. I won $120 on football square and $20 from a bet with DS who chose the wrong team. Again it shows Dad knows best !

Wasn’t planning on a trip back yet so those winnings can be put towards something else wonderful. Won’t worry about the price of tickets now. Got plenty of time to save up and maybe Iger with his new found appreciation for the guests plight in affording trips will drop prices by then…… ( well we can dream can’t we? )

Disney will be broken up by corporate raiders before that happens.
