Boy Gets Surprised By Military Dad In Theme Park

Feb 03, 2020 by apost team

When a young boy went to Disneyland, he knew he was in for an amazing day. What he didn't realize was this would be the day he would be reunited with his father, who had been deployed by the military and who he hadn't seen for five months. 

Disneyland is synonymous with magical experiences and family.

Sadly, sometimes the whole family can't be at Disneyland with their children or spouses. Active-duty military members are among those who must sometimes miss these family outings. One young boy was at Disneyland with his family, but without his father who had been deployed in the Navy for five months.

The boy was having his pictures taken near the middle of the park, with the crowd of other park-goers making way for the boy's family to snap some pictures of the day. As this was happening, a man in uniform made his way through the crowd and directly toward the boy, who didn't see him approaching.

As the man neared the boy he knelt down behind him. Of course, it was the boy's father, there to be with his family and to surprise his son. The boy was very surprised and the father gave his son a big hug and kiss and then telling his son he was finally home. It was a wonderful surprise and a great example of the type of unique magic that can be found in Disneyland.

The crowds passing by picked up on the moment, applauding the father and son and their reunion. The cute little boy says now he and his dad can "wrestle" while giving him big hugs.
