A 100yearold retired soldier was approached on the street by a stranger who invited him to a fun day out at Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, Florida (USA) and the man’s reaction moved several people on social media. Influencer Isaiah Garza appears alongside the man and talks, dances and laughs as he visits the park.
The elderly man with mobility problems was using a rollator while walking and was interrupted by the influencer who gave him the unusual and unexpected invitation to the place he hadn’t visited in 50 years. The video of the experience goes around the world. “Sorry to bother you,” says Isaiah, “but I’ve had a really rough day. And I just wanted to see if you would be willing to go to Disney with me today.”
The Lord is surprised and asks: “Would you really take me with you?”. So they both enjoyed the amusement park and the local food. According to the content the young man posted, they had a great day together. The video, which aired on September 27, has more than 16 million views and around 3 million likes so far.
At the end of the video you talk about how the day was for him. He becomes emotional and finds it difficult to talk about what the day meant. He even says, “I thought my life was over, but I will remember that day in my heart.” And ends by crying, “You have no idea how important that was to me.”
Among the comments, many users were also emotional: “Fantastic! What a memory for him. (And for you!)” and “I couldn’t love this video more” were some of the reactions. American stars like singer Michael Buble also supported the attitude. “Everything about it is amazing,” the artist wrote.
