That tears in the eyes moment

[JosieGirl71]

I'm usually like a kid in a candy store when I'm at Disneyland. Just so happy to be there that I can't even muster up tears. But I have had two teary moments:

The first (and only) time we took our boys and my oldest son (14 at the time) didn't want to go. He was being a poop and thought DL was a place for babies. After being in the park for about an hour, we were standing in line for BTMRR and he thanked me for taking them to DL. Unfortunately, the magic didn't stick with our boys so hubby and I go without the kids now.

Saying goodbye to my sister at DL. We were not raised together (same dad, different moms) and hubby and I spent a day in the park with her and her hubby. It was such a great day and I actually felt like she was my sister and not just a far off relative.

Taking DS (4 at the time) for his first visit. The whole day went great, but I about lost it with happy tears during the evening parade, watching him look at everything. I was so happy to be able to share something that was very important to my childhood with him (and later his brother and sisters). I am lucky to have kids who also love Disney and a husband who loves it (and us) enough to humor my passion!

I have two that immediately come to mind.

First was when my son was picked to do the lighting ceremony at Big Thunder Ranch. It was before the area was changed into the BBQ and they would do a show on the stage and pick one child to come up and "magically" turn on the lights. They asked him to do it about 1/2 hour before the show so we had to stick around for it. We hadn't seen the show before so we didn't even know what it was (we had just finished seeing Santa and were just looking at the reindeer, LOL). He was on stage with the CMs leading everyone else in ringing the bells when the Christmas lights slowly came on over the entire area (including the Chirstmas tree). The look on his face was....well....magical...

The second was watching the summer fireworks last year. My DD has always loved elephants and Dumbo is our family's favorite character. We waited two hours near the front of the castle so that we would have a great view of Dumbo flying. As they started playing "Baby Mine," my DD leaned back against me and I just stood with my arms around her during the whole song.

When I check out of the hotel and get the bill for everything I charged to the room!

I'm the same way CrazyDuck,when I stick a crowbar in my pocket to pry my wallet out buying tickets.

There were many emotional moments for me during our first trip in 2008, but the highlights were definitely....

Walking under the "Here you leave today" sign for the first time ever & listening to Walt's speech incorporated into the Welcome song during the Parade of Dreams & watching the "Remember" fireworks for the very first time on our last night, cried through the whole thing

My daughter's first visit was on 8-22 of this year. We went as soon as we dumped the luggage in the room! Lo an behold...we walked straight in on a parade and she sat on her uncle's shoulders the whole time with her mouth wide open with amazement.

She even got to shake hands with Woody and Tigger---all within 10 minutes of entering the gates! Yep. I cried. She was so happy and so was I!

That is what Disneyland is about- the happiest place on earth- the look on her face is amazing!!
I teared up when we walked through the gates and DD saw the castle. Good thing I was wearing sunglasses because DH would have thought I was looney! I admit, I get teared up of just thinking about going back. I am so excited and happy that we are able to do this trip for our kids!

I get a tear in my eye everytime I leave the park for the last time on our visits walking under the railroad bridges.

When I really need to go, but the bathroom seems just so far away....

[Funball]

I Get tears in my eyes when .i walk by the winery but can’t afford a glass of wine at that moment..

 

[Gisele]

OMG gisele! LOL OMG!!! i think you are my twin! i think i may love you! LOL

Ah.... I am so feeling the love.... Skiingfast.... don't worry.... there is enough love to go around.

When I see a jacket at Disneyland that I really like, but it costs $400.00 or more. Sigh.... oh well.... the sleeves would not have been long enough anyway.

 

[ChickenCarlos]

Usually when im headed home knowing i wont be back for a few months. i wish i could just live in disneyland

 

[Gisele]

Ah yes... to live at Disneyland. I would love that too. I then could finally dance with the other couples in the Ballroom at the Haunted Mansion. Of course.... I would be the only living soul there at the time. That is ok. For eventually, I will join the other 999 happy haunts that reside there. Forever and ever......

Electrical parade.....brings back sooo many childhood memories. i had a cassette with that soundtrack on it and when i was a kid too. too bad its not in DCA anymore.

also, it had been years since i visited DLR and we decided to take a trip a year or so after DCA opened....and just walking up the walkway to the bag check and then the turnstiles....i didn't except to get so teary-eyed! & every visit since, when I am walking up the path, heading towards the turnstiles, I get a little tear in my eye. no matter if i visted 3 times that year, or if its been 3 years since i last visited. it happens everytime.

It was maybe 15 years ago, my mom, sister and I were on the shuttle and we just pulled into Disneyland for the first time, I was so excited and my tears started flowing. My mom is no longer with us and I so wish I could experience that with her again.

Going to be going to DL with my mommy at the end of this month...thinking that I could no longer experience DL with her was bringing me to the verge of a major sob...but I controlled it.

Another time is when we first took our son to DL and also whenever I watch Aladdin the musical.

*Look at my photo to the left and you will see the smile that brings tears of happiness to me!

When I have a really annoying itch, but cannot scratch it, because I am in public. Although, I all too often and most unfortunately for me, and any other innocent bystander, will see men just a srcatchin' away.... well.... where they really should not be doing so in a public arena. Especially at a G-rated park. Man go somewhere else and do that. Like perhaps in the privy. Thank you...

Before I had kids, I wasn't such a softy. I didn't cry when Old Yeller died.

Three years ago I was 8 months pregnat with my little monkey at Disneyland during the year of a million dreams celebration. I was my hubby's first trip and we were watching the dreams parade. It was at the spot where they stop and do their big number to the brother bear song Family Time. The Lion King float stoped in front of us (we were in the prime spot near IASW). No amount of bitting my lip was going to stop the tears. My hubby asked if I was crying, my responce was a Naploean Dinomite "Nooooo" followed by "it's so beautiful." Being pregnat sucks!! The out come is awsome, but those 9 months are misery to me. I couldn't here the song "Don't Take the Girl" (also known as Johnny's Daddy) by Tim Mcgraw without tearing up.

We are going to the land this November, it will be my little monkey's first trip - he will be almost 3. I'm sure I'll tear up again druing that trip.
