Disneyland is known as the “happiest place on Earth” because it brings joy to millions of people every year. During a recent trip to Disneyland, one little boy got a massive surprise that he never saw coming!

The little boy in this video had wanted to go to Disneyland for a long time, and his family finally decided to take him. Sadly, his father could not be there, as he had been deployed by the United States Navy for the past five months.

When they got to Disneyland, the boy’s family took photos of him as he posed in front of the magic castle. The boy knew his day at Disneyland was going to be magical, but he had no idea just how magical it was about to get.

Suddenly, a man wearing a Navy uniform walked up behind the boy and squatted down next to him. When the boy turned around, he immediately screamed “Daddy!”

“Hi,” the Navy man said simply as the boy jumped into his arms. The boy seemed completely overwhelmed as he hugged his father, who told him, “I’m home.” The boy could not believe that his dad surprised him at Disneyland!

Onlookers were touched to see the surprise unfold right before their eyes. The boy’s family posted the video on social media, where it quickly went viral. The video serves as a reminder of the sacrifices that members of the U.S. military and their families make every day. We’re so glad that this father and son got to enjoy Disneyland together!
