A DoorDash driver left a customer’s home with tears in his eyes after a delightful Disney-themed prank touched his heartstrings.
This DoorDash driver had an unforgettable experience when he arrived at Kyle Philippi’s family home to deliver an order. Upon opening the door, the Dasher was welcomed by a creative Hercules movie set adorned with mystical drapes and a sign that read, “A Far Off Place”– a reference to the beloved 1997 Disney film.
To enhance the authenticity of their prank, Kyle and his family members donned costumes of characters from the movie. They even treated the Dasher to a live performance of ‘Go the Distance’, a song that is iconic in the mythological movie.
Caught off guard, the driver stood in disbelief while ‘Hercules’ sang, “If I can be strong, I know every mile will be worth my while. I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong.”
During this touching performance, a member of Kyle’s crew graciously handed the Dasher a $10 tip. However, the Philippi family ended up giving him $100 for “wasting” his time.
Although Kyle and his family were uncertain how their delivery driver would react to their musical act, the Dasher left with tears in his eyes, profoundly moved by their show.
Before departing, the Dasher revealed to the family that he had lost his daughter the previous year: “We lost our daughter last year,” he said.
He then expressed his gratitude to the Philippi family for bringing him joy: “Y’all are awesome. This was awesome. Like, this is the best DoorDash I’ve been on in two years.”
A family member responded, “We want to spread joy to people, just have some fun, and let everyone know that there are random acts of kindness out there.”
Viewers of this viral moment were also deeply touched, with one commenting, “This is the most wholesome moment I’ve ever seen. Well done, guys.”
Another viewer added, “You brought a spark of joy into that man. You can see it in his eyes.”
While the Dasher’s emotional interaction with the Philippi family was heartwarming, it is certainly not the only heart-touching moment that has recently gone viral.
Earlier in September, a TikTok video gained popularity as it showcased a struggling mother who put back a purse on the shelf to save money for baby products instead.
This sparked the ‘she deserved the purse’ trend, where viewers began to hide cash and gift cards under lids of baby formula and inside diaper boxes, hoping that deserving mothers would find the extra money for a treat while shopping.
