I've just joined DISBOARDS today, and I'm elated! (Gosh, I think I've found a home...) I've moved from curious browsing to searching the site during my planning time (I'm a teacher...don't tell my principal!) for the newest threads, and I'm having a blast! Because of this site, I've saved hundreds of dollars on our June package by joining AAA, I've made PS's based on your comments, and I've just bought a pair of Crocs and I can't wait to try them out!
Anyone out there get all weepy at Disney stuff? If it's Disney-related and sappy, I'm sure to cry my eyes out, and I've got my DH doing the same! I'm a music/drama educator, and when we saw "IllumiNations" for the first time, the combination of that powerful music with the inspiring pyrotechnics made us bawl our eyes out! I bought that CD, and when I listen to it, here come the waterworks all over again! But it's not just the obviously sappy moments that make me cry...the first time I saw "Fantasmic!" and they began to project the images on the sheet of water, I cried just because that was such a brilliantly executed effect! Or, in "IllumiNations", when that single firework shoots over the sky before it all erupts in a cacophony of music and light, the tears of joy start coming. (That's the director in me, noticing that Disney pays such perfect attention to detail in matching music and visuals precisely!)
And sentimental stuff, too...last year on Main Street, I saw a little girl spend 10 minutes looking at the ground at her shadow and dancing in a circle as her daddy videotaped her, and that childlike innocence, quickly fleeting but preserved forever, just made me tear up with joy knowing that I was truly in the happiest place on earth. And I won't tell you how many times I've read a story on this site and gotten teary-yeyd! Is there anyone else out there who is ruled by their emotions when it comes to Disney, too?
