Lyla Gigliello, six years old, loves Disney World and so, her dad and their family decided to go on an eight-day trip to the world-renowned amusement place. The little girl is very excited and her father, Justin, is willing to do what it takes to make the trip even more memorable.

He would even sing if he had to! As it turned out, an opportunity to perform presented itself when Justin and Lyla entered the Grand Floridian Hotel and saw a pianist playing beautiful melodies on the ground floor.

Justin, a volunteer firefighter, has fond memories of the hotel lobby.

The Grand Floridian Hotel is where he used to listen to music whenever his parents brought him to Disney World. When he saw that the pianist was playing such amazing music, Justin and Lyla started to dance along to the music and just enjoyed their father-daughter dance.

Eventually, the pianist took a break and this is where the magic started to happen. Little Lyla knew that her father loved to sing, and it was a perfect time for a beautiful song to be sung.

The little girl asked the pianist if her Dad could sing along to “Ave Maria”.

Lyla’s request was so sweet and adorable. Who could even say “no” to this little girl? The pianist agreed to play and Justin stood beside the piano and started to sing.
