The One with Lily's Disneyland Surprise!

Friday, October 7, 2011

Have you seen this video yet? My friend Katie (her blog is private or I'd totally link up here) surprised her daughter Lily with a surprise trip to Disneyland for her birthday. The video has gone viral! It had 300 views yesterday morning and now at 6:30am it's almost at 100,000 views. Plus it has over 20,000 views on Tumblr (which she didn't even put the video on Tumblr, someone else did). It's been reposted thousands of times and Hayley Williams (the lead singer of Paramore) ended up posting it on her Tumblr too. It's already been on tons of local news and radio shows too including the Huffington Post! Now let's get her on Ellen or have Disney contact her :) If you have a spare few minutes, I can pretty much guarantee you'll be laughing/crying by the end.
Oh, the magic of Disneyland.

Updated 10/10/11:
The video now has over 2.2 MILLION views.
Fox News flew Katie, David, and Lily out to NYC to be on Fox and Friends this morning. Check it out:

    Oh my goodness! When you wrote that we'd be crying by the end, I was skeptical (even though I cry at everything). But, WOW! What a cute little girl and what a great reaction!

    Aw.. I had to wipe off my tears. What a precious video! I had seen similar videos like this before, but Lily's expressions and emotions are raw and beautiful! I think she should gets to visit Disneyland for FREE!!!!! Or...Disney should PAY for this commercial, huh? Just a thought! TFS, Paige!
