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

[mikmouse]

A couple of Decembers ago when we were at the MVMCP, we were actually the last to leave...if you can imagine that. It was like 2 am, so quiet, and the four of us sat in front of the glistening Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Cinderella's Ice Castle contemplating and in awe.

My cousin who was with us called his girlfriend in CA at that moment and said, "I'm sitting her looking at the most beautiful sight I've ever seen." He needed to share that feeling with her right then.

We sat there quietly, it seemed like forever. No one was chasing us out of the park, we just simply were in a daze. I'll never forget that moment of peace.

Wishes with my kids gets me teared up every time but what I most remember is our surprise trip for the whole (extended) family a few years back. We took my parents, my siblings and nephews in early January and didn't tell any of the kids until Christmas. As background, I always make a journal / planner for my girls when we go. Well, we gave my nephews journals for christmas that year. When they opened it, DD13 saw it and realized what it meant and started sobbing with excitement which of course got me, my sister and my mom crying! The guys were just sitting there shaking their heads trying to understand women and my nephews had no clue what was going on. Once the waterworks stopped, we explained the trip and had fun planning the rest of the day.

I cried when our then 21 month old DD saw the animals at Kidani Village as we were checking in last year. DH took her over to the windows and then brought her back to the check-in desk and said, "Tell Mommy what you saw" DD was so excited that she couldn't talk and kept stumbling over her words. DH finally said, "Did you see zebras?" and DD yelled, "Mommy!!!! I saw ZEBRAS!!!!!!" Everyone in the lobby area looked at DD and smiled. The tears flowed, right there in the lobby. I still get choked up when I think about that moment.

OMG thank you for this post! I thought I was a nut getting all teary eyed at Disney every time I go. There is just something about it that gets me every time. Definitely Main Street, and Wishes, Illuminations, etc.

This year I've gotten teary eyed just thinking about this trip. Something about knowing how much I've always enjoyed it and now taking my 2 year old for the first time. I warned DH I will likely be quite the crybaby this time around.

Wishes...every single time.... even if we are at dinner at O'hana's or California Grill ... I cry because I'm with all of my children and husband .. in the most magical place on earth! Question is why would you not cry lol!

 

[noahdove]

I cry when I see the Castle, Wishes, and especially when I leave MK for the last time....this next year will be worse, as I will be there with my husband, daughters, grandchildren....I get teary just thinking of it

 

[burnurcomputer]

You are a big fat crybabyy





And so I am at Disney!

 

[Greaser69]

I always have teary eyes at Wishes, Fantasmic (especially at the end), Mickeys Philamagic and even now reading some of the stories. Also lot of Disney Movies...
I always have to hide it before my little 7 year old daughter...

Last year athe last day we did MNSSH and we rode Big Thunder (one of my daughters favourites) 3 times in a row as last rides. Well it was time to go, as the ride was closed and my daughter starts crying so badly that we have to leave... I also start crying... Not a big help, I guess...

You won't think that I do it when you will see me. I'am a 193 cm, 95 kg RocknRoll Guy with many tattoos...
But lot of Disney things got me so emotional as not a lot of other things (OK, some Johnny Cash and Social Distortion Songs,too)...
I simply love the world and the feeling I have when I'am there....
Just two weeks and one day and we are there!

Yes, I have teared up and even shed a few happy tears.

I never get tired of entering MK, and then just standing on Main Street and gazing down at the Castle. Alot of thoughts run thru my head and I do tear up. Every time.

I own it... I am a crybaby over my Disney trips and memories.

 

[MickeyMirth]

YES! After waiting an HOUR to meet TinkerBell last Friday (who is one of his abosolute favorites), he was on DH shoudlers for the light p[arade, and when he saw Tinekrbell on the first float he started screaming , literally screaming "LOOK! LOOK! MOMMY DADDY ITS TINKER BELL, LOOK ITS TINKERBELL, HI TINKERBELL, TINKERBELL HI! HI TINKERBELL!" Over and over again, it totally made my eyes start "leaking" he was sooo excited!

The picture of your adorable son and the object of his affection made me tear up. I'm incapable of not crying in the MK. I get all teary when we drive under the WDW welcome sign.

I choke back the tears during every parade and fireworks show. There's just something about it.

 

[HMGar]

no, but when someone ran over my foot with a stroller i came pretty close

lol

We can be crybabies together! Kleenex stockholders owe a major thank you to us DISers I think!!!

Eight years ago we went for our honeymoon - it was my husband's first time and I hadn't been since I was 15. We watched the parade in the MK and at the time the characters were in what looked like snowglobes. Beauty and the Beast went by me and I started frantically waving at them. The Beast looked RIGHT AT ME and waved a huge wave.

I lost it and started bawling.

My brand new husband? Started laughing.

We're headed in a month and I'm SURE that I'll start bawling at one point in time or another - that'll be fun to explain to my children!

 

[scottishduffy]

Twice.

1. Got Engaged on stage at the Beauty and the Beast show at MGM in 2004. Of course you cry at the moment! The group that performs before the show pulled us down and serenaded us up front. Then DH got down on one knee and proposed. At this point the crowd went nuts and I could't hear a single word he said! I presume he asked me to marry him, otherwise the poor fellow is just terribly confused as to how we ended up married. Too bad I don't have any pictures of the event, So it is just a memory.


2. When DH and I were first dating we lived 20 minutes from the park. We would frequently go down to MK just to catch the Main Street Electrical Parade and then go home. I liked parades and it was just something we would do. We were even there, front and center, and the very last showing of the Parade in 2000.

When the parade came back this last summer I though we would not be able to go due to my clinical schedule. But at the last moment my parents decided to go to Disney and invite us. On top of that, My clinical schedule had a random long-weekend open which happened to include the first day that MSEP was back. We planned a last minute vacay and got to see the MSEP on it's first day back. I got a little misty sitting on the curb thinking about the fun times we used to have watching it and the night we sat down 3 hours early for the last showing, and now sitting down 2 hours early for the return. 10 years and still sitting on the curb with the same guy....

I cried the first time we saw the MK rope drop show!

And I have teared up (but never actually cried, I don't think) during Wishes.

The first time I saw it I cried too. After many years of trying to get there in time to see it, last year was the first time I got there on time ( I usually would get there right after it ended). DH thought I was crazy.

 

[theatregrl04]

I do not think I have ever cried at MK, however on our last day, I was crying in the middle of the ASMu food court...
Somebody didn't want to go home...
I also cried the first time we saw Illuminations on that trip too.

 

[mouseforcemom]

I have a couple of times. Once when I made the decision to stay down there and work and I called my G-Ma from my phone on Main Street. And the last time when I got to walk my kids down Main Street and show them everything. I might cry this next time, but because I thought it was going to be YEARS before we were going to be able to go again. Life can surprise you.
