Flight Delayed by Two Hours—No One Prepared for What Young Passenger Does

A flight to Orlando was delayed for hours when a young girl decided to treat frustrated passengers to a song, according to a viral video.
TikTok user Romeu, who posts under the username @druziroaming, posted the clip Wednesday, and wrote in a caption: "When your Delta flight is delayed 2 hours and you circle Orlando for another 2... But then a little girl sings Moana on the crew mic and suddenly everything feels okay."
It showed a girl with the PA system phone held up to her face, singing How Far I'll Go from the hugely popular 2016 Disney movie. Some passengers can be heard humming or singing along, while others look back at her with a smile on their face.
Newsweek has contacted Delta Airlines for comment outside of business hours and will update this story if they respond.
The video exploded in popularity, and has been viewed close to 9 million times in around 24 hours, along with picking up more than 1.1 million likes.
But while Romeu appeared to enjoy the surprise concert, others in the comments weren't as kind, expressing they wouldn't be happy if this happened on their flight, and saying it should not have been allowed.
Romeu's video was by far the most viral, but several other flight passengers shared the experience from their own seats.
One, from user @stephtravelstories, showed a woman looking displeased as the singing echoed over the intercom. But her partner, sitting beside her, appeared to be loving it, nodding his head and giving the peace sign.
And one, from user @maadisyyyynn, described the singing girl as "brave." Madisyn's video showed her happily mouthing along to the words as the girl sang, and grinning at the camera.

In the comments, Madisyn said a lot of the flight were "definitely annoyed," because many people had missed connecting flights due to the delay, but said she herself enjoyed it, and said that, when the girl was finished, many people clapped for her. Various stitches and reposts from users were also less than complimentary about the incident.
Orlando is home to the Walt Disney World Resort and Epcot, which features a Moana-inspired attraction called Journey of Water, with the character of Moana available to meet at Disney World itself.
In 2023 alone, Disney World boasted more than 17 million Disney fan visitors to the park, according to data from Statista.

Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne revealed she was reduced to tears when she was hounded by a group of rabid autograph hunters who track her down at airports around the country.

'What scares me is that they have my flight information, even when I don't even know what time I'm flying out sometimes. I don't tell anyone my flight information. I've changed all my email passwords. I don't know if they're hacking me. But they get really aggressive and hostile if I say no and when I'm by myself, it's really scary,' Thomas added.

"We Simply Do Not Care Anymore": Women Over 40 Are Sharing Things They're Fed Up With At This Point
If you have not ridden the rollercoaster known as perimenopause, congrats. Ditto if you're one of the lucky ones who can say it was "not that bad." But for many women, the years leading up to menopause can bring with them hot flashes, insomnia, vertigo, vaginal dryness, joint pain, and a host of other "fun" surprises. It's like a second puberty, but there's no Judy Blume book for this. So when I, a frequent flyer on Hot Flash Airlines, came across Melani (@justbeingmelani) on TikTok, it was like a breath of fresh air. Melani is the founder of the "We Do Not Care Club," a group for women in perimenopause and menopause. In the comments of her daily videos, women share things that we simply do not care about today. Then, the next day, Melani reads them back to the club, and commenters add new submissions. Here are some of my personal favorite "We Do Not Care Club" submissions that made me laugh and nod my head "yes" so hard I got a neck ache: 1."I don't care that I have a California king and I sleep on one half and the other half is a two-week pile of clothes out of the dryer." —sam_i_am_1968 2."I don't care what my family eats for dinner NO MORE!
