Kris Allen: 'I'm Going to Disney World!'

Copyright 2009 Paul Hiffmeyer / Disney
Newly crowned "American Idol" Kris Allen was snapped outside the Nokia Theater after Wednesday night's season finale -- and the "Idol" champion was shouting the famous words "I'm going to Disney World!"

Kris was filming a TV commercial to promote Walt Disney World's new attraction "American Idol Experience," the new AI themed attraction that opened this past February at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

In the attraction, Disney guests are able to experience all the excitement of the television show -- whether they are auditioning for a Disney producer, performing on stage in front of a crowd, or voting for their favorite performance from their audience seats.

Kris is only the second non-athlete in Disney's "What Are You Going To Do Next?" campaign history to appear in the iconic commercial and his voice also will be featured throughout the ad as he performs the classic Disney song, "When You Wish Upon A Star."
