Do you cry when you get to WDW?

[Minniekins]

My DD8 and I were at the Walt Disney Family Museum this past Saturday. When we got to the last room, the one about Walt's death, my DD8 just stood there and cried for about 10 minutes. She might have been the loudest, but she was not alone.

Aw, how sweet, even at 8 your DD knows how special he is! Omg, I'm actually tearing up at reading about your DD! Ai yi yi, lol! None of us would have all of these things, places we love so much without him. Who knew then all the wonderful things that would be in the future, because of him, even after his death? I still remember my mom telling me he had died and we were so sad. We had just made a big family trip to DL not long before that.
I would love to get to the WD museum someday! I know I'd, be crying there as well! And, get back to 'the park that Walt walked' someday. Where crying on walking in would definitely happen, lol! Now, I'll bet that's something that Walt never anticipated - people crying and teary because of things he brought to reality, things that he knew would make people happy!

I think I've gotten teary going into MK but usually it hits me when I'm enjoying a parade

Though, I may this year. Last year was very tough on us and we are going to treat ourselves. So, I can see myself crying when we get into MK, all the struggles kind of washing away. I hope at least

Every single morning I enter the MK, and only the MK, no matter how many times I go there in a single trip, I tear up.

Just reading this thread is making me tear up. Watching MK youtube videos makes me tear up...the commercials on tv...

Yep, thIs is so me. I tear up at all of these things also. Last weekend my DD (5) and I went to our local Disney store for a special invitation only "Royal Ball" event to celebrate the new Cinderella movie coming out this week. All the little girls were dressed up as princesses and they did a wishing ceremony....I got so teary-eyed that you would have thought I was standing in Cinderella's castle holding my own wand, LOL.
Disney magic just touches my heart in a way that's very hard to explain.

I either tear up or laugh with big/overwhelming emotions (mine or other people's). Given that I got a little misty when my 14-month old started dancing and laughing at the Disneyland sing-along-video, I bet 1,000,000 internet dollars I will need a hankie when he meets Mickey.

When we leave the airport on the Magical Express bus, when I walk into MK, during the fireworks...

Yeah, I tear up easily.

 

[4under4]

Almost every time I enter MK! We have a tradition of doing CP pre-park open ADRs on both our first and last day at MK. I love holding my kids' hands as we walk down Main Street on those mornings. The park is almost empty, the streets are still a bit damp from being washed, and the air is filled with promise for the day. I'm making myself cry now just thinking about it.

 

[Jennasis]

Oh yeah. The MK Welcome Show turns me into a weepy mess! Fireworks and the finale of Fantasmic. I also tend to well up when we pass under the WDW sign when we first get there.

 

[Dis703]

I cry the first time I'm on Main Street and see the Castle. I cry during Illuminations and Wishes. I cry during FOLK. I'm sure there are other places it happens too. I get all caught up in the sights, sounds, music, etc. and pretty quickly get overwhelmed by my emotions.

 

[Mousemommy1]

I tear up on Magical Express. I tear up going under the arch. I tear up walking onto Main St. I tear up during Wishes and Illuminations. I tear up when leaving MK on our last night. I tear up when Tinkerbell appears at the end of Soarin'.

Every.Single.Time.

DH and my kiddos put up with it, thank God!

And now I'm crying reading this thread.

I brought my 2 y/o Dd to our Disney store's Royal Ball on Saturday, dressed up in her Elsa dress (well, BRU version anyway). I definitely got teary!

^THIS!

AND...Wishes, Main Street Electrical Parade, see my step-kids excitement and joy, heck even seeing strangers' kids excitement and joy get me. Even thinking of ANY kids excitement and joy is getting me right now. (and now I'm crying at work...)

 

[Newsies]

Yes. Multiple times

 

[angierae]

I cried during the Rope Drop show the first time I went to Magic Kingdom, but that's because I was 34 and I had believed I'd never get to go. I'd wanted to go to WDW ever since Epcot opened and there was a big thing about it in the little Scholastic newsletter things we got in elementary school, and then my best friend went with his family a year or two after that and told me all about it.

 

[WEDWDW]

I don't really cry,but the emotions of watching Magic Kingdom Welcome compared to the emotions of stepping onto The Sad Bus are so extreme in opposite directions!

 

[kgoodb00]

I don't get teary when I see the castle or enter any park. I do get teary during Wishes and Illuminations though! I am constantly smiling though. I love taking in all the sights and sounds!! I am smiling right now just thinking about it!!!!

 

[kaetra]

I cry going under the entrance arch, during Wishes every time and when leaving the park for the last time of the trip if we stay fewer than 7 days. For some reason 7 days seems to be my no-tears-upon-leaving threshold

That is almost my story. I was so happy to be there I just started crying when I saw Mickey Mouse our first day in the park. I told him that I never thought I would get to meet him. Then he hugged me really tight, which made me cry even more. Ok, I'm crying now.

 

[WhispyPixie]

Yes!!!! When I hold my hubby's hand and walk in seeing the castle at the beginning of each trip, when I "feel the music" in the middle of a parade, when I see the magic through my kids eyes, when it is dark and the sky lights up with fireworks and when my precious husband continually suprises me with Disney trips, most recently for our 25th anniversary trip in May!

 

[amber_cntrygrl]

I cry as soon as I see the welcome sign, during the MK opening ceremony, when I see the castle, during fireworks, and especially when I see my kids with characters or on their favorite ride. So basically, I cry the whole time. Not like snot bubble crying, but there's tears.
