Evan Rodrigues isn’t wishing upon a star at Disney World, he’s wishing upon a Stanley Cup.

To celebrate his team's championship, the Florida Panthers forward took the trophy to the Orlando theme park on Sunday with his wife, Christina, and three kids, Grayson, Noah and Ella Grace.

He took the Cup to the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at the park and rode the Disney Skyliner tram to EPCOT. There, he took the trophy to all 11 country pavilions around the theme park.

During his stop in the France section, Rodrigues stacked the trophy with Remy the rat plush toys (the main character from the 2007 Disney movie “Ratatouille”), perhaps a nod to the rat theme of the Panthers team.

Later on, Rodrigues put on a Mickey Mouse hockey jersey and was joined by some of the Disney characters at the park.

Talk about the most magical place on Earth.
