A heartwarming video has emerged of parents playing hangman with their kids to announce their surprise trip to Disney World.

The footage, shot at a home in Pennsylvania, USA last month, captures the moment the children find out where they are going and the daughter bursts into tears.

"The kids thought we were surprising their mother with a trip to myrtle beach," the parents wrote online.

"Disney world and myrtle beach have the same amount of letters so it was perfect."

"Ironically we went during hurricane Matthew and Disney closed for only the fourth time in history. But we made the best of it," they added.
