Cry Baby Thread - What Makes You Cry at DL/DCA?

[prettyprincessbelle]

This was inspired by the thread about what you do when you first enter DL...

For me, when I see the sign under the RR station tunnel about "when you enter today..".

RDCT makes me CRY like a baby! Especially when Tink is flying over the castle and Walt is making his speech. Oh man, it's waterworks central where I am!!

I put DCA on the title because The DEP makes me cry. It makes me think of when I was a kid and when I would go with my parents..

Okay, your turn cry babies..

having to leave....

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

haaving to leave....

Seriously! I didn't add that part.. Ugh, that's the worst too!!!!

the christmas parade and fireworks, and dreams come true fireworks!

Another vote for the christmas fireworks. Also watching DS fly in Dumbo with DH and realizing just how quickly he is growing up.

Main Street. It's just a rush of so many wonderful memories.

Seeing the characters interact with kids.

Certain music at certain times. It's not something I can predict exactly, but some combination of music, company, and atmosphere. For instance, that first charge into FL when I hear the teacup music and my kids are SOOOOO excited can set me off.

Figuring out how much I spent. LOL. Sort of.

For me it's simply being there with those i love.

i love glancing over and watching my mothers face when she's watching the parade...it always makes my eyes water.

i love the exact moment my granddaughter got to see belle for the first time..it just squeezed my heart and i admit i had to hold my breath not to cry.

i can't wait to watch my husband and his parents at disneyland.. and to see them with the babies.. it's just going to be the bestest.

i don't know who was more excitted on peter pan's ride.. my granddaughter or my mother... all i know was when we flew out of the window and over london.. i was glad it was dark because it hid my little tears.

Everyone talks about time being money ..really it's moments being realized and cherished.

For me its the part during RDCT where the little girl sings "Star light, star bright" that makes me tear up right away. My DH thinks I'm a big baby but I cant hold it in during the fireworks lol

I just confirmed this yesterday when we went for a quick visit to activate our annual passes (and get our gift cards, thank you Costco!)...

* Parade of Dreams, especially when they freeze and Walt says, "To all who come to this happy place, welcome."
* Fireworks, especially when they reference the Main Street Electrical Light Parade. I actually get really weepy here because it reminds me of seeing that parade with my mom & sister for the first time as a kid.
* Riding the tram in from the parking lot... I get so excited!!!

Probably the very first time seeing RDCT fireworks, I weeped pretty bad. Now, I just get teary-eyed with it. But, the music from Shenandoah before it goes into the Frontierland sequence makes me cry.

The Parade of Dreams: "Welcome to our family time, welcome to our brotherly time!" That gets me practically always!

Seeing DEP in 2006 because I hadn't seen it since I was a little kid. As soon as I saw Elliot the dragon, my favorite character in the show, I lost it totally.

The music in Soarin' Over CA always tears me up. God bless Jerry Goldsmith. Also, in the queue whenever they play the theme from The American President, oh, so beautiful!

As a fan of animation, I can't sit in that large room of the Animation Building of DCA without starting to tear up. When those big screens flash scenes from classic animated features combined with their haunting music, I'm so gone!

Oh, and this didn't happen at DL, but when I was told in an email that I couldn't meet Basil for my birthday. I actually cried at my computer screen. Although, if I ever did meet him by some miracle, I would probably cry all over again!

Yes, I am a weepy person at DL!

 

[kkmcan]

Definitely the Parade of Dreams when they start the Welcome to our family time!!

A close second is the Electric Parade music!

I go so often, that the events don't make me weepy anymore (but I used to cry at all of them and Fantasmic), but what does get to me is seeing the Magic reflected on the faces around me -- the innocent child, the happy family, the couple out on a date, the older couple holding hands.

I love to people watch, and when I see how the Disney magic really affects them, well, my eyes start to leak (as my young rascal used to say when she was little).

For me there is always something new that touches me... In June of this year I went to Ariels Grotto by the castle to meet Ariel. I have never met her before and have always wanted to as she is my favorite princess. Ive been so disappointed by not being able to see her the last few trips. When I got up to meet her I got so emotional that I started to tear up. She asked if I was ok... I said I was so happy I finally got to meet her. She hugged me and my tummy cause I was pregnant at the time and she said "I am happy to see that another prince or princess is about to come into the world that I would like to be a part of"... I bawled like a baby and asked her to say hi to Flounder for me. She said she would be happy to.

That story is so sweet, I think I almost cried after reading it. I love Ariel too so I think I'd start to tear up if I got to meet her.

I know every time I go to DL now or watch the little mermaid movie I will always remember that moment.

Aww, what a sweet story.. My eyes started watering! I would have cried too if Ariel told me that! Those CMs are pure magic..

I'm reading all these experiences and it's getting me all teary eyed now. There is something about Disney Magic that does it to me everytime. I guess that's why they call it magic!!!

Seeing things thru a child's eyes! These are my favorite photos from this summer.
