Cook appears in Disney commercial

Los Angeles -- Newly crowned "American Idol" winner David Cook has become the first singer to star in an "I'm Going to Disney World!" commercial, Walt Disney World said.

The commercials traditionally feature sports stars using the catch phrase.
Cook shouted, "I'm going to Disney World!" Wednesday night after learning he had won the TV singing competition series "American Idol."

Disney said camera crews captured Cook's pronouncement on the Nokia Theatre stage in Los Angeles, just moments after host Ryan Seacrest announced Cook's name as the winner.

Cook was then featured in the newest "I'm Going to Disney World!" commercial, which aired only hours after the "Idol" finale.

A new attraction called "The American Idol Experience" is scheduled to open January at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disney said.
