Video shows Disneyland's Captain America approaching a parkgoer dressed as Peggy Carter and sweeping her off her feet for a photo

• Ariel C. visited Disneyland on Sunday and had a memorable moment with Captain America.
• Dressed as Marvel's Peggy Carter, the fan was swept off her feet by the superhero for a photo.

Marvel fan Ariel C. knew she wanted to dress as Peggy Carter from "Captain America" when she visited Disneyland last weekend.

But what she didn't expect was that Captain America himself would find her at the theme park and sweep her off her feet — literally.

The 21-year-old fan posted a video of her interaction with the character actor to TikTok on Monday, and it has been viewed nearly 804,000 times as of Friday.

"I'm still shook," she wrote in the video's caption.

Speaking with Insider, Ariel said her friends invited her to attend Disneyland's Dapper Day — an unofficial celebration where parkgoers dress in sharp outfits inspired by the 1950s and beyond — which was held on Sunday.

Her friends put vintage-inspired twists on characters like Tiana from "The Princess and the Frog" and Lewis from "Meet the Robinsons," while Ariel hoped to channel the secret agent from the "Captain America" franchise.

Adults aren't allowed to wear costumes at Disney World and Disneyland with the exception of Halloween. But because Dapper Day is a fashion-focused event, adult parkgoers can dress in the fanciest outfits of their dreams.

When the group arrived at the theme park, employees who noticed Ariel's outfit were eager to unite her with Captain America, she said.

"They were so helpful," she said of the employees. "When Captain America got there, they started running up to my friend saying, 'He's coming!'"

But Ariel said that despite everyone's help, her interaction with the Marvel character didn't go as planned at first.

"It's so embarrassing because I ran up to him and he was holding hands with a child who I didn't see," she said. "We had a brief conversation and he said, 'Let me help out these kids real quick and then I'll come find you.'"

"My friends and I stayed in that spot, but I didn't think he'd come — he probably thought I was a terrible person for running up to him while he was with a child," she continued.

But to her surprise, he began walking toward her saying, "Peggy Carter, I need you for a second" shortly after.

"He was totally in character saying it had been 89 years since we'd last seen each other and that he still owes me that dance," Ariel said. "He said flying a plane with bombs on it into the Arctic Ocean wasn't his best idea, and that he should've thought that through more."

While chatting, he walked Ariel over to a picture-perfect spot where they had an impromptu photo shoot. And when others approached him for photos, he kept his focus on Ariel.

"I was scared but a little excited," she said. "I was like, 'Oh my God, he won't talk to other people.' The rest of the day I was speechless. My friends would not stop talking about it. It was only a two-minute interaction, but it was amazing."

Ariel enjoyed the moment so much that she told Insider she's considered buying an annual pass to visit the theme park more often. However, she said she'd likely ditch the Peggy Carter outfit next time.

"I don't want to say I'd never wear that outfit again, but holy moly I was sweating like crazy," she said, adding that she'd also bring a pair of flat shoes for comfort. "I'd never walk around Disney in heels again."
