How do you not cry?!

[Tinkerbellmom33]

This thread is making me cry!!!!!!!
I cry at Wishes, Fantasmic, Cinderellabration, Castle Suprise, Illuminations, kids reactions, princess songs from the movies...I can't help it! Dh even got choked the first time we saw wishes.
Leaving... Dh thinks I'm crazy, he's always ready to go at the end of our trip. He gets "Disneyed" out. I never want to leave Luckily it doesn't take him long to re-coup because we're going again!!!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

I can't say I cry all the time, but I do cry sometimes.

I cry during Wishes all the time. My oldest DD standing next to my side watching in awe, my youngest DD in my arms resting her head on my shoulder watching in awe - what a beautiful moment!!! (happy tears)

I cry during unexpected happy moments. This year my DD was able to help end the Spectromagic parade and wonderful exciting moment for her!!! Seeing that massive smile on her face and me knowing that she will remember this moment for the rest of her life is spectacular!!! Oh course I cried!!! (again happy tears)

My oldest DD's first trip to WDW was when she was 2yrs old. She barely knew who Mickey Mouse was and when we saw Mickey for the first time, he knelt down and she ran into his arms. She hugged him so tightly and it was a moment I will never forget - of course I cried (again happy tears)

I have many many stories like these. Don't ever be ashamed of your tears - I hope you have many happy tears stories to share with us when you come home from your trip!!

I'm afraid this is going to be me as well! I have been trying to plan this trip for years and I'm still so afraid something is going to go wrong so if we do actually make it there, I know I will probably be a big baby! We haven't been there since our honeymoon in 2000, and this time we are taking our DS who will be 2 1/2 when we go. If he loves it as much as I think he will (he is a Disneynut already) I'm sure I will get emotional seeing the look on his face! I can't wait!

"No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing..."
I can't tell you how many times those words have pushed me to keep going. I can't sing that song *myself* without crying; it means so much.

I'll embarassingly admit that one of the songs that gets me the most is the music from the Main Street Electrical Parade. It brings back so many memories and at the same time tears at my heart that I'll never get to see it again.

I'm just glad y'all are as crazy as I am.

I had one trip to WDW as a child. It was in 1971. The memories have stuck with me. My DH and I went back last year. I never considered myself a crier, however when I got off the bus and entered the MK I lost it. Looking down Main Street at the castle was enough to do it. The happy tears were flowing big time! When I looked over at my DH I saw tears running down his face too. I asked him why he was crying and he said it was because he loves seeing me so happy. Needless to say this WILL be a yearly trip for us.

I will admit I love Disney and I am a crier! There is just something about the openng at MK and going under that train track that starts the flow everytime.

It seems to be a combination of excitment for the future and sadness of loss from the past. We have lost a child with whom we were able to share our love of Disney. He was only able to go once before he was taken and that loss just smacks me in the face everytime we go. But we do go on and we strive to make our future brighter so there is happiness and excitement too.

I would love one trip where all of my favorite friends and family could be there. That would be such a hoot!

Well, i cried when watching wishes, as a family from Great Britain we have never experienced Fire works like it. The music the light effects the crowd just added to the apsolute wonder of the whole experience. The finale of Wishes was just truly unbelievable, i couldn,t contane my self with the size of the enormouse fire work at the end, it sent shivers up my spine, hairs stood up all over me and i cried with happiness.

Arn't i soppy

I always cry at IllumiNations. Haven't had the chance to experience Wishes yet! I always am quite teary when we walk down Main Street for the first time.

 

[XOoOoVEEoOoOX]

I used to always cry at night while leaving the parl..I cant think of anything more beautiful that the MK at nite....Now i get a little choked up when i take my neice and she discovers something particularly magical

 

[1stTimeDisneyer]

I keep reading how people cry and I am think ok maybe I will and maybe I won't. Wel Last night I wa planning the trip (an endless task) and I wanted to see what Wishes was all about. So I start watching the 11 min. video. Well from that point on it was down hill. I sat on the bed holding the laptop in tears. My husband looked at me like I was nuts. I then started to bawl you don't understand I waited my whole life for this and I cannot wait any longer. I cannot wait why is it not May yet?

So I guess I am like the rest with the crying.

However if anyone is going to Disney May 7th and sees a woman on the bus from the AS Sports crying her heart out when she sees the Castle, it will be me.

When we walk through the tunnel into the MK, I get a feeling. Excitement and anticipation. Then, as we get closer to Main Street, the feeling gets stronger and then, when I hear, "Walking down the middle of Main Street, USA", THAT'S ALL, BROTHER!!!! Bring on the tissues!!!!! Then, seeing "Partners" in front of the Castle, watching Wishes, Spectromagic, watching my DGDs' faces during all these...Well I guess we had better buy some sort of tissue stock 'cause we will make a fortune!!!!
Illuminations is what really gets me! I have to see it the first night we are in the World or it just isn't right!!! Watching a Magical Moment happen anywhere around us, whether it is us or someone else....I could go on and on but I think that you get the idea. Disney is Magical and just for a few days, the rest of the world is gone and we are all kids again, seeing the Happy Place that Uncle Walt used to tell about!! God Bless Walt Disney!!!!!

 

[roozlilone]

Oh, gosh, I don't feel so bad now! I cry like a baby during illuminations! Something very powerful that touches me everytime I watch it....and what really, really got me is the first time, 2 years ago, my then 7 year old DD saw illuminations, she was crying at the end, it even made my DH cry. It was a very special moment!

 

[MommytoMJM]

I cry almost everytime we go....and we went 107 days last year....

I must admit- while at WDW my emotions run freely "Tears of extreme happiness" are what I like to call it. I just can't help it- being in the most magical place on earth with the people I love the most just does me in. Don't get me wrong- I don't walk around sobbing my head off- a few tears here or there do occur. The finale of Spectromagic does me in every time- Spectro has quite a deep meaning to me and my family. A while back I posted this in a post called "your most magical Disney World memory"-

My most magical Disney World memory:

My first trip to WDW came in 1997- only 3 weeks after my dad underwent a radical neck dissection for newly diagnosed metastatic thyroid cancer. The surgery left him battered and his voice hoarse (they gave him a 20% chance of ever talking again post-op). This was a trip that was the result of three years of planning- and at the time we thought it may have been our first (and last) trip as a family. My dad (who was initially less-than-thrilled with the idea of going to Disney World) insisted we ALL go as a family. The one moment that stands out in my mind about that trip was watching Spectromagic for the first time and looking over at my dad sitting in his wheelchair. I remember listening to the music (quietly crying) and saying a small prayer that everything would be alright.

Fast forward to the very next year- 1998- and we once again were standing in the same spot watching Spectromagic- AS A FAMILY. My dad had undergone two more surgeries and was doing well and in remission. Spectromagic was nearing the end (...~"On this magic niii-iiight"~...) and I turned around to look up at my dad only to realize he had tears streaming down his face. He looked at me and mouthed- "I told you we'd make it back"- All I could do was rest my head on his chest and cry. We really had made it back.

My dad continues to do great- I'm now married- and my parents are returning to the world with us in March. I'll always look forward to watching Spectromagic with my "daddy". And that, is my most magical Disney memory!
Now you know why I cry!

 

[MommytoMJM]

Oh man...someone mentioned Tarzan Rocks! a few pages back..... Last Sunday we saw the show, I bawled through the whole thing, I mean I usually tear up during "You'll Be In My Heart" but this time I cried the whole time, then I found out that it was my favorite dancers last show and I cried some more. Saturday is the last day for this show, we plan on seeing it all 4 times that day and DH has already taken out stock in Kleenex... Sigh.....

It is funny how this thread came up, because on our trip last week, I really wondered how many really got all emotional over things at WDW.

We were there a couple of weeks ago, and my youngest DS (6) wanted the gold Mickey ears with his name on it. So on our last day, I took him to MK to get his ears. Then we each picked out an ice cream and went up to the train station to have a look. As we were coming down those stairs, I took one look at him with those gold mickey ears on, eating an ice cream and knew that he was growing so fast and there would come a time when he wouldnt be caught dead wearing gold ears and holding hands with his mama!

It was really special and I think we will remember that moment forever.

I also cry at check out and then beg DH to stay one more day!

I can't tell you how many times in my many Disney trips I have seen people crying. I have seen folks crying on the bus to MK as soon as the castle comes into view. I have seen people cry when they see their kids having a special moment or during fireworks. And I have cried myself (as has my husband) and I don't worry about or apologize for it! Disney is about making special memories with your family. I also now tear up when I see things I did at WDW with my mother who has Alzheimers and won't ever be back with us. So it might be a little much for some people but for others its not. Take a hankie and weep away, you'll be in good company! And have a wonderful trip!

I cried reading your message.
