Grandpa Bursts Into Tears When He's Surprised With Dream Trip To Disneyland

A beloved grandpa who always loved seeing his family’s photos and souvenirs from their visits to Disneyland wiped away tears when his granddaughter surprised him with his first-ever trip. Ruben Vazquez, 70, from Southern California, always loved seeing the photo his children and grandchildren had taken on their days out at the self-described “Happiest Place on Earth,” but he had never had the opportunity to go himself. For years, Ruben was too busy working and providing for his family to make the trips, his granddaughter, Alondra, said, and so she wanted to come up with a plan to make his dream come true. Ahead of Father’s Day this year, Alondra purchased a ticket to the park for her grandpa, along with a selection of Disney items: a Mickey Mouse shirt, hat, balloons – and the physical ticket itself. Alondra then placed the items in a box and presented them to her grandpa, who humbly asked what the present meant on June 16. In seeing her grandfather’s emotional reaction, Alondra said her heart felt complete, as she knew his inner child was coming out again, and she was grateful to help a man who had been like a father figure for her growing up. Alondra then explained, “You’re going to Disneyland!”, which caused her grandpa to burst into tears.
