Do you cry at Disney World?

[Punchy]

I always cry at Wishes, I just can't help it. I cried when my son danced to his first Magic Kingdom parade. And I've cried at Animal Kingdom, because for some reason every time my husband and I go there we get in a fight!

Next trip will be a toughie. Our friends lost their five-year-old girl last year. She was obsessed with Disney, it was her whole life. They went on a trip not long before she passed, and her most special place was always Cinderella's fountain. We will have to find a way to pay tribute while there. It's just perfect.

I cry when we get to the front of the MK for the first time each trip and during Wishes. What, everyone doesn't do that?

I also sometimes cry during parades watching the kids get so excited.

I used to get pretty emotional when we were at the parks not knowing when/if we'd return. We bought DVC...I don't have that problem any longer

I cry A LOT at Disney World! And, not only do I cry, but my DH gets teary also. We do when we see the Disney World sign and pass through it, and many other times during every trip. It's a magical place that we LOVE -- we have so many happy memories from past trips and we adore making new ones on each new visit.

Yep, I'm a BIG crier!

The Celebrate a Dream Come True daytime parade at MK got me every time...the lyrics kill me!

We'll see if FoF does the same thing!

Do I cry? Every. Single. Time.

I have never been to Disney World, and I cry just thinking about it! This thread makes me tear up. I fully expect to be a mess on our trip, and I have already told dh, "It's totally okay to walk away and pretend like you don't know me. I'm telling you right now that I am going to be a complete embarrassment."

I sobbed last Christmas when my daughter gave me a plastic pearl bracelet. It was the look on her face when I opened it. She wanted me to love it, and I did. I can say with certainty that while the castle, welcome sign, certain rides and shows will definitely make me tear up, my kids' faces will be what makes me totally lose it, haha.

Yep! Lots of the aforementioned things get me, but the biggest one is Wishes. Over the past 6 years, every time we went to Wishes I would wish so hard that we would have a baby by our next visit back...and every time I thought my wish just has to come true this time...but for a long time we were met only with heartache & loss...

Well, last year my wish finally came true. And we'll be bringing DS for his first trip next month! ...which I'm sure will make me cry in all different ways, but I'll love it!

I totally understand! We got married at the Poly almost 10 years ago, we have made many trips with many "wishes"....after 8 1/2 years we were blessed with our daughter almost a month before our 9th anniversary. We took her to disney when she was almost 4 months old....many happy tears. Enjoy your trip!!!!!

 

[undertheradar]

Yes, every time I get the bill, jk.

 

[navyblue8]

Yes, if something super cute or touching happens with my kids.

So much. I'm turning 21 and I'm embarrassed about how much I cry! I definitely lose any cool points I have going for me whenever I think about how much I love WDW.

When the plane lands in Florida
Reading the "Here you leave the world of today" (even though that's technically DL)/walking through the tunnel and just taking everything in from Main Street.
Seeing ToT for the first time (even if I'm at Epcot!)
Last ride on ToT of the trip.
Walking out of Magic Kingdom for the last time of the trip.
Stepping on the ME bus (I don't even look out the window to see when we're leaving property!) And I never sit next to my family so they don't see me cry!

I'm not saying I bawl, just shed a few tears during these moments. I know I'm gonna be pretty bummed when we leave after our short week this summer (I've been planing my 21st birthday trip for 2 years!) so I prepared and bought myself tickets to see Paul McCartney in my hometown 2 days later! I figure nothing could make me sad when I have that to look forward to!

 

[Lisa71]

Me too..so thankful to be alive, have my family, be able to have fun ....yep..cry a lot...

 

[minniegirl19]

i cry all the time to everything everyone has said… I'm tearing up reading what people are posting

 

[rcklein5269]

I have been blessed and have been to WDW many times throughout my life. Nine years ago I was able to take my girlfriend (now my wife) to Disney for her first trip. Well the moment we walked on to Main Street she just lost it crying. I had to physically hold her to keep her from falling when she said I never thought I would get to be here. Well that got me going too. We love Disney so much. Now even around the house when my son and I start singing "When you wish upon a star" she cries... As soon as the music starts on the bus she cries... When we see the welcome sign... She cries. Don't get me wrong I have those same emotions just better at holding back the tears haha. I love that I have turned her into the same Disney lover I am.

I haven't full-on sobbed or anything, but on our last trip, while watching IllumiNations on our first night there, I was teary-eyed for a few reasons.

First of all, I had literally waited five full years to go to Disney World again after our honeymoon in 2008. I told my husband on the plane home, "I want to go again for our fifth anniversary." He agreed, and we went in September 2013 to celebrate our fifth anniversary. I thought the day would never come, and there we finally were, watching that beautiful show in Epcot!

But also, I lost a cousin who was more like my sibling in December 2012. He'd never gone to Disney World, and I couldn't help but think about him as the song said, "We go on, to the joy and through the tears..."

I'm taking his little sister for her first visit in a few weeks. I hope she enjoys herself and isn't too overwhelmed by similar bittersweet reminiscence. Disney can be a very emotional experience.

 

[SpringSprite]

I cry at parades, I cried during MSEP last time we were there. This is the first time going with my kids, I'll probably be a weepy, soggy, emotional mess the whole time we are there! But in a good way

I'm a crier.

 

[Lindabobinda]

I do. I cry at when we first step through the tunnels onto Main Street and see the castle, sometimes on Disney's Magical Express, during Wishes, during Fantasmic, and for sure the morning that we are going home. Pretty much might cry any time.

 

[mmbl]

Maybe we go too often~ never cry at the happiest place on Earth!

 

[practicallyperfect77]

Oh my goodness, I'm crying just reading this thread. I do cry lots tho. Riding on DME and finally seeing the "welcome home" sign, The MK welcome show, Wishes, Finding Nemo, Fesitval of the Link King, & Fantasmic always get me. On my last trip Osborne lights and dancing in the streets of America with hundreds of other.guests to Feliz Navidad got me too. So did the Storytellers in France and the UK. And I totally tear up thinking about my next trip with my niece and nephews. The moment they hug Tigger and Pooh....I'll be an ugly mess!

 

[maddiebee]

A better question may be when DONT I cry at Disney. I basically sob happy tears the entire trip.
