ANAHEIM, Calif., Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Less than one week before the 2006 National Championship Rose Bowl game, players and coaches from the University of Southern California and University of Texas will make an official Rose Bowl appearance at Disneyland on Thursday, Dec. 29, 2005.

A tradition dating back to 1959, the Trojans and Longhorns will bust into the park in a stadium-like entrance where they will be welcomed by the famous Disney characters, the Disneyland Band and fans.

Players from each team, including UT's quarterback Vince Young and USC's quarterback Matt Leinart and Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush, will meet at Sleeping Beauty Castle where each team will be presented with a glass castle. The teams will then take a break to relax and enjoy the attractions at Disneyland.

This is the second year in a row for the University of Texas to visit Disneyland as part of the Rose Bowl festivities. The 92nd Rose Bowl game will be played in Pasadena on Wednesday, January 4, 2006.

The 2005 Rose Bowl occurs during the biggest celebration in the history of the Disneyland Resort. Through 2006, The Happiest Place on Earth is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with new attractions and entertainment throughout the park. The newest attraction to open at the Resort is "Monsters, Inc. -- Mike & Sully to the Rescue!" which opens officially January 23 at Disney's California Adventure.
