I can get teary eyed without even being there! I taped my DD's first trip at the age of 2. Just watching that lil girl (7 years later) jumping up and down in her stroller shouting..."Rella's castle Mommy!!! 'Rella's castle..." or the day we surprised her with a Pooh/Tigger breakfast...."Tigger...Tigger...Tigger!!!!!"...gets me every time. All I have to do is say "'Rella's castle" to DH and HE gets teary-eyed!!! LOL!

that was taken from the rubble of 9/11/01 that is on display in the outer lobby of American Adventure at EPCOT and the Flag lower ceremony at dusk at Magic Kingdom!!!

If you've never taken time for either one of these, make them a point your next trip.

Plus RnRc scared the bejeebers outta me the first three time I did it. No more tears now though.

Every time I see Specto Magic I get choked up. Maybe it has something to do that I got to march in Spectro Magic w/my High School band and when they announced our the the entire Magic Kingdome errupted w/cheers because so many family and friends came to watch us.

Here is one nobody has mentioned. It gets me every time. The pre-show of the Honey I shrunk the Audience at EPCOT. You know, the one sponored by Kodak that talks about kids and imagination. The song, music, pictures, and sound are very moving. It brings a tear to my eye every time. The attraction is very emotional. The pre-show makes you cry then the actual show is very funny and has cool 3-D affects. Does anyone else think so?

1. The american adventure, that movie just gets me every time.
2. TON
3. Pin trading, when you miss the one you just have to have and when I get the bill for how much I spent on pins!

 

[stinkerbelle]

this is too much...I'm laughing/crying/laughing/crying reading this thread!

poohlvr - that was such a sweet story. I'm not a big parade person, but now I know the true meaning of the TOD parade - thank you.

And to those that mentioned the little ones saying 'thank-you'...ahhh...I only hope that I can raise a child like that someday. I'm sure my honey will be dragging us to Disney as soon as the little one is able to walk!

 

[Bev J]

cdpa4d- I so agree with you about 'true colors', I know it is just a big commercial for Kodak but I just cant get through it without some tears and I look forward to seeing it everytime I go to Epcot.

The Festival of the Lion King gets me every time. One Man's Dream really got me going. Just seeing the Magic Kingdom the first time each trip.
Last summer I heard a boy (he looked to be about 8-10 years old)on the monorail say that his feet hurt. His mother told him that his feet were probably VERY tired and that's why they hurt. He said,"You know, I was so busy having fun and being happy that I didn't even think about being tired!" That got me REALLY teary eyed. I wanted to go over and hug him!

 

[merryweather's twin]

The True colors one makes me bawl! The castle on the last night allways gets me. People comming up to us at dinner and saying how good our kids are...(this never happens at home!)Watching all the kids be so nice to each other.... I know it sounds stupid but our kids are different ... somehow nicer at WDW... Have you seen the new commercial with the older brother holding his little sis in Epcot ....Watching the light show....It is just to much! I can go from smiles to tears in 1 second! My DH says it is hormones.

 

[Pzor]

You know, I completely forgot how I do cry at the Kodak preshow at Epcot. Reading the post brought it right back! I can visualize it and I try not to look at anybody, in case they wonder what's wrong with me and why am I crying?

I also get tears during Fantasmic as the "Imagination" song is being sung and then they transition to "Beauty and the Beast" with the three floats going by of Belle, Beast, Eric and Ariel, and Snow White.

Luckily for me, I'll be crying again at these moments in 10 more days!

 

[disrailfan]

I have to say there are several that do it for me:

Candle light processional at Epcot
The American Adventure - Epcot American Pavillion
One Man's Dream - MGM

The biggest one was watching my DD's on our first trip in 1998. Watching the two of them oogling over the view down main street at the castle towering at the end of it was enough for me.

CRYING! I started crying when we went under the big sign that welcomes you! I am extremely emotional and eternally grateful that God gives us a chance to go! Other than that, Spaceship Earth, watching my children faces light up when they see the parades, and Illuminations

 

[goofy4tink]

Let's see.....American Adventure reallly gets to me....
The True Colors thingie, which I had forgotton until now, thank-you all very much!!
My dd's first peak at the Castle each time we visit.....

My biggest cry to date has been while sitting on the curb on Main St., by Tony's, waiting for Spectro to start..and having my dh (who had to be almost dragged to WDW) say "We should do this again, but by ourselves, not another family. Start planning."

 

[Luvdisney]

Let's see, I guess it was when the final bill shows up in the mailbox from the last trip.

 

[JetMom]

The Parades do it to me everytime!

I also can't even think about that first walk down Main Street Without tearing up!

What a Magical Place! That can effect us like this over time and distance!

 

[Trish5768]

Watching the expressions on my kids faces while they are watching Illuminations

Riding the monorail for the last time, as the castle fades into the distance.

Spaceship Earth

 

[Bichon Barb]

I nearly lost it at one of the character musical shows in front of the castle. I have no idea why!? It took all I had to hold it back. It was probably one of the two trips where I was pregnant and didn't know it yet .

 

[Alice42]

Thanks for all of the responses!
I am tearing up reading your stories!!!

Another thing that makes me emotional while at Disney are all of the unexpected performers that we encounter, like the living statue in France, the Jammitors, and when we ate at Spoodles there was this really funny performer balancing knives and a magician in the Boardwalk lobby. I think that is Disney magic at its best and it makes me tear up!!!

Keep the stories coming!!!

 

[dvcfamily41801]

Thanks for this thread, I can not tell you how many times I got chills reading each one of these

Okay, I cry when I check in. This last time it was when the CM told me we got a Boardwalk view!! But I have cried checking into the All Stars as well, so it does not matter.

Any of the music of the parades. Thank God we have the CD's that have the music of all of them. I do need to order the more recent ToD one, we have the Millenium Celebration, I am sure its almost identical, but I NEED it!

My sons first trip in December, 2000 he was 13 months old and said "Bye Bye Bear" at the Bear show in MGM, it was amazing.

I cried the other day when we saw The Lion King on the IMAX during that opening scene, real tears running down my face!!

I cried when we joined DVC because I knew I have 40+ years of more tears coming my way!!
