Anyone else tear up?

[MinniesYooHoo]

Oh yeah! Definately a crier here!!!!! But I just know that it's going to be really bad when we go in April. It's DD's 1st trip, she's 3. Seeing it through her eyes is going to be heart wrentching!!!!! But I GREATLY look forward to it.

Last December I went to WDW for the first time with my DF (who was my DBF at that time). It was also my first trip seeing all of the decorations at Christmas time - it wasn't my first trip to WDW though. Just walking down Main Street and seeing the garland strung across the street made me tear up. Seeing the Castle lit up and the beauiful trees was just overwhelming! I can't tell you how many times I cried because I was just so happy to be there. It was magical.

I usually cry when I get to the Magic Kingdom for the first time on every trip and then when I go to leave MK on my last day. It is such a magical and wonderful place and I can't help but cry when I have to leave and come back to reality.

DH and I went in August for 2 weeks and had a blast. On our last night, as a tradition, we saw IllumiNations. I got a little teary eyed during the show. And was sad all the way out of the parks. I was holding back tears. We were standing on the bus, as there were no seats left. And he had his arm wrapped around me and he just whispered to me. Just let it out. Dont hold it back. And the moment he said that, the water works came on. I couldnt hold the tears back anymore. I cried all the way from that point all the way back to AKL. And Im not talking just a few tears. Im talking full out emotional cry. I was crying as hard as if someone died, or when DH leaves for his deployments. I could feel some people looking at me, probably wondering what was wrong and if I was OK. Honestly, at that point, I didnt care. It seemed like that was the longest bus ride ever during those 2 weeks.

At the airport the next morning, we were going through security. And the guy that checked my ID and boarding pass, looked at my pass and he was like Why are you going to Baltimore? And I told him, we're going back home. But I didnt wanna leave. And the moment I said I didnt wanna leave, I felt teary eyed again. I got lucky though and was able to hold them in.

That was the 1st time I cried that hard, that night, when it came to leaving Disney. Normally, I just get a little teary eyed and it goes away. I guess I just wasnt ready to leave, even though I had to.

Yep tears here too. Normally it will be watching my kiddos enjoy the park as i did as a kid.

Just got back myself & I totally agree. Usually Wishes does it for me plus that last look at the Castle as i'm walking very slowly out on my final night. This trip I also teared up as I walked through the deserted PI.

Oh boy! I tear up everytime I see my girls, 8 & 11, getting the Disney magic. I tear up when I first see the castle, when I first walk down Main Street. Tears actually stream down my cheeks when I see Wishes! And like a previous poster, I tear up when a Disney commercial comes on!

My husband has a different way of reacting. He tears up when I tell him that I'd like to plan our next trip! He doesn't get Disney! But he knows how much the girls and I love it, so he tolerates going. I keep hoping to convert him, but it's been 4 years with no luck. I guess that just means I have to plan more Disney trips. Some day, I know, he'll be tearing up with me!

I never full out cry, but I tear up a lot. This past trip was my first time staying at WL. I had wanted to stay there for so long and when I walked in that first room where it's kind of dark and cool I started to tear up- I was just so excited I was finally staying there and it was for a whole week!! (lately we've only been going for long weekends) Then, on our last day we were walking up to the hotel from the boat ramp about to go home and my 7 year old daughter started to get really gloomy. I could tell she had tears in her eyes when she said, "I love it here - I don't want to ever stay at any other Disney hotel again." This from a girl who said she wanted to try every hotel at least once!

My mom teared up big time when we got off the boat to MK on our first day - she LOVES WDW and hadn't been in almost 15 years, and here she was with her entire family (all three kids and grandkids.) Then my brother laughed at her and she stopped. I understood though!!

You are obviously not alone I'm crying just reading these posts. We got back about 3 weeks ago and I'm sad because I'm pretty sure we won't be going back any time soon. They're laying off people at my husband's company I too got teary walking down "Main Street USA" especially since it was decorated for Christmas. Absolutely magical. We loved it

I'm another one crying just reading these posts! A group of 7 of us went down to WDW in Oct '07, and it was my first trip in 25 years or so. It was also my DD's (6) first trip. I was just so excited I didn't cry walking in to MK, but Wishes got me. I was sitting there with DD in front of the castle, and I just had to say to myself, "LOOK at where I am right now! Dreams DO come true!" I lost it.

Now DD and I are going back this Feb, and I absolutely cannot wait! I know there will be tears flowing the whole time. I think I love it now even more than when I was a kid, maybe because after all these years I can actually have that wonderful feeling of being a kid again at the age of 37!!

DH actually shed a few tears of his own on our trip (his first to WDW), but that had more to do with some mean chafing and a few blisters (till I finally talked him into some crocs). He won't be joining us this year...

I always cry when first getting there and our last night as we leave the MK. One time I even cried so hard the night we were leaving WDW, my contact fell out! My family likes to make fun of me for that moment.

We got back yesterday and I'm fairly depressed. Totally dread going to work today. Don't feel like being nice. I also have a terrible "head cold" which is actually good because I'm in fog and I think I would feel *more* dejected with a clear head. But I'm trying not to be a baby and I have to say that I am very grateful for my latest Disney experience.

My only consolation is looking forward to the next trip. I had to ease it into the psyche of my DH, but he actually uttered a "two years or so" which is way better than "not for a long long time."

 

[brightvalleyjrts]

I cried when we got there last time and I also cried when my kids saw their first characters and loved them, and then I cried when we left.

And now this time, I cried when I booked our trip. I am so excited to be going back. I am a total sap though.

 

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

I cry when:
I see the first Disney Welcome sign
When I watch the opening ceremony for MK
When I see the castle
When I meet Cinderella (I'm a grown woman and I know Cinderella is another grown woman in a costume- but I still tear up, my 16 yo DD thinks I'm crazy and I'm sure Cinderella does, too)
When I watch the fireworks
During Festival of the Lion King, or any other GREAT show!
Trust me, I don't spend the whole time crying, but sometimes you just have to let it out for a minute or two...

 

[sherabby]

My 7 year old son cried the whole ride to the airport. Every now and then he will say, "I Wish I was back in Disney."

 

[marielynn724]

every time. i tear up thinking about it. i tear up when i watched the planning dvd and they played the sentimental music... yea it's embarassing but i can't help it i love disney so much!

I forgot to mention this is my PP, but on our 4th anniversary (this past August), DH and I went to Coral Reef. It was our 1st time going to coral reef, and we loved it! Anyways, I had set up to do the personalized menus and diver. When the person who sat us gave us our menus, DH almost cried! He had no idea about the menus. During our meal, the diver came down and held up a sign that said Happy 4th Anniversary. DH also didnt know about the diver. Anyways, when the diver came down and held up the sign, I got a little teary eyed. After the diver had left, DH told me that he was holding back tears. He was grinning from ear to ear. He look like he could cry at any moment.

for sure, its usually as i am checking out and realize i have just enough money left to get a pizza on the way home from the airport that nite.

 

[jumoo044]

I tear up a lot at Disney World! Especially when leaving MK, looking up at Walt's window, and giving him a little wave goodbye... I'm crying right now, just thinking about it!
