A heartwarming video has emerged of a man surprising his parents on a Disney cruise.

The footage, shot last month in Port Canaveral, FL, USA, shows a family boarding the Disney Dream cruise ship before the grandfather is due to have surgery because of health problems.

As they are greeted by the crew a man walks towards them clapping and the grandparents realise it is their son who decided to surprise them.

"My dad is having some health problems so my mom and I decided to take him on a cruise while he still could go and before he has to have surgery...at the last minute my brother decided to surprise them and come with us," the filmer wrote online.

"My Dad still cries every time he watches this! What a special moment for our family!" she added.

Vacations are not just fun...but they create fantastic family memories. Memories that will last a lifetime!

My dad is having some health problems so my mom and I decided to take him on a cruise while he still could go and before he has to have surgery...at the last minute my brother decided to surprise them and come with us. Watch this video and see my family as we board the Disney Dream. Disney personally welcomes and announces each family as they board...watch when and my parents spot my brother standing with the Disney Cast Members! (you'll want your volume up for the full effect).

It was a Magical Moment for our family! If you watch at the end of the video you will see the ladies in the white jackets who are cast members welcoming cruisers wipe tears from their eyes...and the cast member who agreed to hold my brother's phone so he could do a Facebook live feed of the surprise also wiped away tears (Disney employees are the best!).

So if you have been thinking of that family trip that you wanted to take one day....make that day now! Spend some priceless time with your family and take a family vacation!

My Dad still cries every time he watches this! What a special moment for our family!
