Washington (dbTechno) – Walter Marino, and his autistic son Christopher Marino, managed to survive 14 hours at sea, stranded out in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida.  In a story that can only be described as a miracle, they used Disney to stay positive.

The father and son were rescued after spending 14 hours floating in the Atlanic Ocean.

They were swept away last Saturday night at around 7:30 pm., with the daughter of Marino watching.

SHe immediately went and called 9-1-1 to get emergency crews to help.

They were found 14 hours later off the coast of Volusia County, and have since recovered.

Speaking to NBC’s Today, Walter Marino stated that he and his autistic son used Disney to stay positive.

They reportedly kept referring to the 1995 Disney-Pixar film, Toy Story.

The father stated he would say, “To Infity,” when the son would reply “And Beyond!”

Walter Marino later told CNN that because his son is autistic, he lacks a fear of death.

These Disney movie quotes reportedly help them pass the time.

The father and boy were found one mile apart on Sunday morning, with rescue workers calling it a miracle.
