When you visit Disney World you know the cast is going to be magical, but sometimes the guests can be just as magical. An ordinary guest visiting Disney World last week amazed the lobby at The Grand Floridian as he broke out singing “Ave Maria” in front of dozens of people.
Justin Gigliello, a 30 year old Connecticut man, was having lunch at the resort when the impromptu performance was prompted by Gigliello’s six year old daughter. She asked the resort lobby Pianist if he could play the song so she could here her dad sing.
Of course he said yes, and the rest will blow you away. Take a look at the video below:
When the he finished singing, the amazing performance was met with applause. Gigliello says it feels amazing when the audience is into it and that is what makes it all worth it. “One of the women came up to me and said she was in the gift shop and when she heard me singing she had to come out to see what was going on,” Gigliello said.
Gigliello’s performance is amazing, but his daughter is stealing a little bit of the spot light too. Everyone’s eyes are glued to the little girl as she watches her father with pride and awe as he sings her favorite song.
“It’s an incredible feeling. I didn’t really notice it until I watched the video. To see my child with so much pride in her father is amazing,” said Gigliello. “I can just see the love and admiration in her whole expression.”
Gigliello works full time at an insurance company, but he did go to school for voice performance and has a bachelor of arts from the Boston conservatory. He sings locally occasionally and also teaches voice and piano lessons.
