Viral Video Got a 3-Year-Old a Well-Deserved Free Disney Trip To Meet “That’s My Boy” Mickey Mouse. A three-year-old from New Jersey named Mali Valentine really wanted to meet Mickey Mouse. After seeing a Disney On Ice show, a video of him hoping for a hug went viral, hitting over a million views in just a few days. Disney saw the clip and decided to fly Mali and his whole family to Walt Disney World.

Mali didn’t just get a quick hello. Disney set up a private meeting so he could finally meet Mickey in person. His reaction was exactly what you’d expect, with lots of shock and jumping around. The family got the full experience at Magic Kingdom. Mali, his baby brother, his parents, and his grandma spent the weekend hitting the classic rides like Dumbo the Flying Elephant and The Mad Tea Party teacups.

It’s the kind of story that reminds you why people get so attached to these characters. For Mali, a viral moment turned into a weekend his family probably won’t forget.
