Whether you're a child or an adult, visiting the Disney parks is a magical experience.
However, one man has admitted that during a trip to Disney World, he made a young girl cry during a firework display - and while he feels 'awful' about it, he doesn't regret his decision.

In a post on Reddit, the man said: "My fiancée and I had just gotten engaged at DisneyWorld in Orlando. We're from the UK and this trip was expensive. It was my fiancée's first time and she'd always dreamed of going.
