Am I just a big crybaby or have you ever cried at MK?

[mousireid]

I have cried during rope drop show, fireworks, character interactions, watching my kids faces and sitting back looking at my family. I tear up during memories and pictures too!
UGH, this getting older thing has turned me into an emotional wreck! LOL
Actually, its really a blessing to appreciate life more - I recognize the special moments that take my breath away - and I am very thankful for that.

When do I NOT cry? I cry at every Rope Drop and every Parade. Thankfully, I've seen Wishes enough times that I don't cry every time I see it now (well, I don't sob anymore!)

I cry everytime I get ready to checkout and they give me the bill for all of our room charges.

Just kidding! I have a feeling the old tears will be falling our next trip. We are bringing my DSIL who has Down Syndrome for her first trip ever. It's going to be like when our kid's saw WDW for the first time. We took her to Dollywood this summer and she just was so in awe. My wife and I kept thinking, "Wow, if she is this excited about Dollywood, wait until she sees Mickey for the first time."

The first time we brought DDs to WDW, on our first night we went to 1900 Park Fare. Cinderella chose DD#1 (also dressed like Cinderella) to dance. I burst into tears. Turns out it was the first of many times I cried tears of joy at the world.

But then again, I cry at the end of most Disney movies, assorted tv commercials and even once at the end of Phinneas and Ferb (although I'll never admit that in public)!

I have never cried at WDW, but DW does every time. Most often upon seeing the castle as we walk up Main Street. I just smile.

Ummmmmmm--- YES!!

I cry at Rope Drop, I cry at Fantasmic, I cry at Wishes, I cry during parades, I cry when my kids get excited about something, I cried when my husband was part of the flag retrieval, I cried when my kids got the backstage Star Tours Tour, I cried when my son was chosen for Jedi Training Academy, I cried when my daughter danced with Prince Charming, I cried when Chip rocked my youngest daughter to sleep, I cried when my oldest daughter looked at me with pure joy and asked if she could ride RnR AGAIN, and I cried when my youngest looked at me and said "Mom, dreams really do come true!!"...

Crying happens about every hour on my trips It's why I love taking my kids to Disney- every second is packed with pure magic & joy!

This is so me.... my family all laugh and have moment where they are just waiting for it quick look at mom she's crying again See you made me cry just reading this .....

I took my kids to eat at Cindy's Royal Table for the first time ever last weekend and I welled up with tears all the way up the stairs and throughout dinner. It was so awesome!

I cry at Wishes and when I'm leaving the MK for the last time of any given trip.

Someone mentioned crying on another thread so I thought about asking this.
Went for the 1st time ever last yr, been to Disneyland as a very small child but I cannot even remember it... anyways

Last yr when we went and I first walked into MK, down Main St and saw the castle, I was so overwhelmed w/ happiness and the awe of it all that next thing I know I feel tears down my cheeks. My kids were laughing at me. I felt so embarrased but I just could not stop crying and you know after a while I didn't care. It was just so beautiful, so magical! I felt like I was 5.

I'm a 50 yr old man who works in a respected NYC law firm. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I tear up when I get to WDW. For me it's passing under the huge sign welcoming you to WDW - and realizing I have entered into a REAL place where dreams and magic DO exist. I know it's a real-world business and crap can happen. But it's a place where I can find the real wonder and joy that I experienced as a child at the 1965 World's Fair. It's one place where you CAN go home again.

I expect to feel those tears on my cheeks tomorrow about 2:45 in the afternoon as we arrive for a 10 day stay...

Absolutely! DBF and I were leaving MK on our last day of our week long stay (not our first trip to WDW, but the first one for either of us in 8 years). I had planned this trip for over 8 months and as we are on our way out walking down Main Street, he looked over and said, "Honey, are you crying?" because the tears were coming out of the bottom of my sunglasses. I sniffle a "yes". He grabbed my hand and said, "We'll come back, I promise". We won't be back until at least 2012 due to other vacation plans, but I'm still here on the Dis everyday still reading about all things Disney and it does help!

I've lived in Florida for two years now, but evertime I watch wishes I still end up crying. Philharmagic still gives me chills, and when I walk through One Man's Dream at DHS I usually end up sobbing at the picture of Mickey as the Earth with a tear that was done when Walt passed.

 

[tspnmb]

I didn't but my wife did the first two times we went last year...
I will admit I got close when she was holding our little man so tight and had tears running down her cheeks. I could have but I was doing the tough thing.. ha
We are having our 20 anniv. this year and now have 3 year old. It took us (her) over 15 years and 2 miscarraiges to have him. She went through alot emotionally and physically trying for so long to have a child.
We have always loved disney stuff and always got emotional when we went into the disney store and the gushy songs like "Beauty and the Beast Theme" etc were playing. We always watched disney movies togethter from the time we we got married wishing to share this with a child.
So, of course not soon after he was born we turned him into a disney baby.. He loves disney stuff as much as we do.
So when first getting into the park that Friday afternoon on (my wifes first time ever and only my second) on our way to eat at the Castle we walked through the gates and hit Main Street.
My wife looked at me about to bust out in tears, pulled Zander out of his stroller and squeezed him super tight. Turned her head towards me without saying a word just smiling from ear to ear with tears puring down her face. It was perfect!
When he was just a few months old in the Hospital..

His First disney Trip!

 

[ambertides]

I cry at Illuminations. I SOBBED through the holiday Illuminations. I've sniffled at Wishes but never cried.

 

[Ash&Wes07]

Every time! I am a very emotional person and I get very overwhelmed easily. I know I'll start bawling in December realizing it's our first trip as a family of four and seeing the excitement in DD's eyes. I am tearing up just thinking of it!

Heck, I cry watching Wishes on youtube with DD or watching a Travel Channel special on WDW.

I am the ultimate sap.

 

[scdufek]

Also, when I watch a show about WDW I get blubbery!

 

[LAH LAH]

Wishes gets me EVERY time!

 

[disneychic]

Oh yeah, I've cried! The first time I cried was when my DH and I went to WDW for our Disneymoon . I hadn't been to WDW since I was a child, and I had very few memories of that trip. We arrived at the GF, dropped our luggage off and grabbed a snack on the CL and then took the monorail over to MK -- I couldn't have gotten there fast enough and the second we walked inside the park on to Main St. USA and I saw Cinderella's Castle I started to cry! My DH thougt I was crazy, but I was just SOOO happy to be there (plus, I'm sure I was still a bit overwhelmed from the wedding and all) but, it was a perfect afternoon, and everything at MK was beautiful. My emotions got the best of me and yes, I stood there on Main St. USA with tears running down my face.

 

[StacyMarie]

Aren't we all just a bunch of cry baby, balling, blubbering fools, LOL! We just can't help ourselves! I am so glad it is not just me!
