MANILA, Philippines — Actor Dingdong Dantes revealed on Monday that his daughter’s wish to meet Mickey Mouse in Hong Kong Disneyland almost got canceled after receiving a warning from Marian Rivera’s doctor.
Dantes confessed this on Instagram, saying after months of planning, Rivera’s doctor warned her on traveling due to her pregnancy.
“But after months of planning with already confirmed bookings and two days before the flight to a Disneyland in Asia, we received a health travel advisory from our doctor stating that it would be dangerous for us to proceed given Marian’s pregnancy,” he wrote.
The couple got worried that they might “break Zia’s heart” knowing that their baby girl had been talking about her anticipation of going to Disneyland.
“We felt that it would break Zia’s heart knowing that she had been talking about how excited she was in seeing the magical place,” Dantes said.
But, with the help of friends Angely Dub and Doug Kramer, the Danteses were able to push through with their trip.
“So, with the help of some friends, we were able to swing a last minute trip to what children see as the happiest place on earth. Thank you @dougkramer and @angelydub,” he said.
Earlier, Dantes featured a video of his daughter celebrating her third birthday at Disneyland last November 2018./lb
