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

I cried several times while planning our first trip. I have wanted to go for my whole life and was finally taking myself and my Disney loving husband on both of our first trips.
At the world I expected to cry when I saw the castle but was so excited and giddy that I just giggled and grinned the whole time. I did cry however when we left the MK to go meet the magical express to go home. I was sobbing.
But in Jan we're going back and taking my 3 younger brothers with us. This will be their first time! I am so excited to share my love of Disney World with them and I know they will love it just as much. Our parents are in the middle of a divorce and this is a kids only trip. This is the trip we never got to go on in our childhood and a time for us to get away from the mess and stress of life and just be happy for a week. I'm sure I will be crying a lot as I watch them relax and go back to being little kids.

We go in less than 2 months and with how hard I am working to pay for this, all we have been through this year, the 3 years my dd has been waiting to go, the fact I am surprising her, the fact I haven't been in 30 years, and just how I am affected by seeing pure joy in her face, I fully expect to be a complete mess.

I just wanted to wish you a most magical trip in a few weeks. I noticed your signature and just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss. I am sure you have had very difficult year. How wonderful it will be surprising your DD .... she is going to be so excited. What fun!

On my first trip with my family (I had been as a child but DH or my kids had never been) I sobbed during Wishes. It was such a magical, special moment for all of us. It was years of dreaming and wanting finally coming true....I get chocked up writing about it. That was 5 years a go and we all (kids included) still talk about it.

I do hope you will write a trip report and tell us all about it.

Wishing extra pixie dust for you ...

Your not alone. It never fails, as soon as i walk down main street and see that castle, i get all chocked up. My kids and husband laugh at me, but i dont care. It just brings back such great memories and happiness.

Ohhhhh your not alone! I cry EVERY time I enter MK on our first day there. I get very emotional..walking down Maint Street USA, it's like coming home. I also cry at Beauty & The Beast, the fireworks and It's a Small World. Yeah, HUGE baby!

 

[Pipser]

Let me start of by saying that I am not the emotional type. I never cry, not at funerals or wedding etc...This August was my very first trip to WDW. I'm 32 and this trip was the end result of 2 long years of hard saving. I made the trip with my gf and 7 other family members (aunt, uncle, cousins) so it was 9 of us in all. We all had a blast. We did MK, Epcot, Seaworld, IOA, Universal, Aquatica it was a packed funfilled trip. But, the day we did MK and standing there in front of the castle holding my gf and watching Wishes together.....man I really welled up and this feeling of....."you're really here" just came over me.

Needless to say I been trying to figure out how we can plan another trip since we got back home. Living in the Caribbean it's not a cheap trip but the gf and I have agreed that we have to do it again soon. So until I get back I'll have to make do with the pictures and memories that I have and I can occasionally look at a video of Wishes on Youtube and well up again

Saw your signature, just want to say sorry for your loss. May your vacation be filled with extra extra pixie dust.

I cry everytime I am on Main Street and also on the last day of the trip because I don't want to leave!

My wife starts to tear up the moment we arrive at the airport.

Several years ago, Dr.s told us DD had 1 year left to live. I planned our last trip to WDW. When we went to see Mickey at MK I lost it. I didn't say anything, but in my heart I was saying goodbye to Mickey, because I could never imagine going back to WDW without her. The photographer kept on smapping pictures, and I wished he wouldn't take pictures of me, I'm trying not to cry, but my heart was truly breaking.

A few days later, we saw Mickey in Epcot. I was ok, because everyone knows he's not the real Mickey. The real Mickey is in MK.

Fast forward to now. DD is doing fine. We had our pilgrimage to the big mouse farm last year, and now are planning another trip again to WDW.

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 get choked up just before the park opens when the train arrives, the music starts and they welcome us for the day. I'm just so happy to be there. It's ridiculous, I know, but hey if it makes me feel good, why not. I say let the tears flow.

 

[mikmouse]

We make sure we visit MK on our last day and I ALWAYS cry as we say goodbye. We go at least twice a year, but MK is still very emotional for me.

Oh, and I also cry the first time we enter MK for that trip. I just love looking down Main St. Makes me wish I could live right there and forget what's going on in the world.

What a wonderful story. My guess is you will cry again on your next visit, but these will be tears of joy. I am shedding a few for you right now.

i did tear up a bit when i released i safely made it there, i had a ruff year dealing with an illness and wasn't sure if id make it to go.

 

[ols386]

I didn't actually cry, but my eyes watered-up a bit last December, when we heard/saw the singers at Epcot. I can't remember the name of the group, but they almost sound like opera singers, and they perform in the America pavilion at Epcot, and they sing Christmas songs. It was beautiful. They don't even have any background music, it's just them singing. They have beautiful voices.

 

[Conan the Librarian]

Beauty and the Beast show. At the end when she says "I Love You".

My family thinks I am nuts.

Oh and the American Adventure. Just forget about it. Last time we were all in tears by the end of the show.

 

[laughinplace2]

I cry everytime I first enter Disney World and see the "Welcome to Walt Disney World" sign.
Last time I also cried during the Wishes fireworks!

 

[Peanut Giggleface]

Oh yes of course I cry. Usually it's the first time walking down Main Street and seeing the castle for the first time. I feel like I'm coming home and it's where I'm supposed to be. Sappy for sure, but it's true. My kids always watch me waiting to see when I'm gonna start crying. In fact reading through some of the posts here I sense a connection with other people who feel the same way, which brings a tear to my eye. Of course the kids happened to look over at the right time to see me teary-eyed and have to comment.

Our upcoming trip is the last planned as the kids are getting older and aren't into it very much. So I have a feeling I will be pretty choked up.

I was the same way....i actually still get choked up sometimes...its that walk down Main Street that gets you everytime!!!!!! I also get that way while washing Wishes! That is by far the best fireworks show
