Who else cries when they leave??

[nolanboys]

Add me to the list. I always get choked up at the opening at MK and during wishes. When we went a few years ago with DH's family, they left a day before us. We had a great time with them, but it was so nice to be just the 6 of us and we had a great day at MK. We were relaxing at OKW. The kids were playing basketball and tennis and I was overcome by sadness. I was so not ready to leave. I was a mess on ME all the way back to the airport. On our last trip we were at MK EMH late. As we were leaving, my youngest was in tears. He kept asking why we had to leave. He even walked up to CM's with tears in his eyes saying we had to leave the next day. His reaction was so genuine and sweet, it brought tears to my eyes as well. We are all anxiously awaiting our trip in November and excited because we are staying for 9 nights instead of our usual 7.

I don't cry, but it is sad.

My WDW visits pretty much end the same way. Since I almost always have a rental car, I/we usually go to Epcot on getaway day. Reasons: Epcot is our favorite, the time it takes to get from park to car is very consistent (don't have to worry about catching a monorail/boat, tram, etc....just walk to the spot), its proximity to the airport and gas station on the way is good, etc. Anyway, once I'm walking out of the park for the last time, I put myself in travel mode. Once I walk out the Epcot entrance, I never look back at Spaceship:Earth. Its time to go home.

When I took my son on his third birthday it was truly magical we walked right in to meet Mickey and have him sign happy birthday in his book and it was perfect from then on. He was a trooper and made it to the end of the fireworks and when we were leaving and I saw them with the sign as you leave (forget what it says). I cried it was just too perfect. I'm hoping for the same magic for Ds 2 fifth birthday this year

much to my husband and son's embarrassment I cry...OK I weep...actually, to tell the truth, I go into a depression starting the day before when I have to start packing to go home. No worries, you're not alone!!

Yep I go into depression too, it always happens the night before when we are packing up for the next day. Afterwards I always want to sit out on my balcony for as long as I can taking in the last sights of Disney. Then when we are leaving on ME, I just sit in my seat with a pouty face on. My DD11 is in full blast tears while my DD9 and DH takes a nap ...DD11 and I are so much the same while DD9 and DH are the same. I am like the OP where it makes it worse when you see people coming off the ME and walking into the main building to check-in, or when you overhear someone talking to someone else about what they are doing on day 3, all the while you know that on their day 3 you will already be home The only thing that has helped us (a tiny bit), is that we start planning out our next trip while on ME, but after we talk about where we are going to stay and what some ADRs we want to make, I go back to my pouty face and DD11 goes back to her tear, and then DD9 and DH goes back to taking a nap

In the past we've gone for 2 wks and leaving wasn't too bad. I was sad to go but ready for a rest too. This coming trip is only 7 nights due to new school rules so I know I'm going to be teary eyed when it's over.

 

[BLTLDZ]

I don't cry, but I do get sad...and then a week later when I'm home, I say to DH "this time last week we were at Epcot"

The biggest plus of the vacation club is that I know we are going back

We were ther ein may, and going back in december...it can't come soon enough!!!

 

[MinniesYooHoo]

Yes. I cry. EVERY time. But of course just like everyone else, I know we'll be back soon. I just have to keep the planning alive until then.

I cry upon arrival and departure! Walking into the MK brings full on, "We're really here!" tears and then our last night at MK brings on tears of sadness. We always turn around and look at Cinderella Castle one more time and say, "We'll be back." It's pitiful walking under the train station and heading out.

I kinda find myself glaring at the people who are heading to the bus stops or even worse at the YC, heading to the boats, when we are heading to our rental car to go to MCO. It's crazy but I can't help it.

 

[ilovemk76]

No crying here but a little sad to have to return to the real world.

 

[blue65829]

I get misty on the DME upon arrival but usually pull myself together.

But - I always cry during Wishes, and then more so the last time we leave the MK on any vacation and very quietly on the DME going to the airport.

I must be the only one who finds it weird that you all cry when you leave. You are adults. My kids cry when I don't let them get candy when we leave the park. I can understand you being sad that vacation is over and you have to get back to work. Granted we go once a month to the parks since we have a vacation home in Celebration but seeing adults cry when leaving disney world is just strange.

 

[kathneric]

Consider yourself lucy Scotico!!!
I wouldn't be so sad if I knew I could be there once a month!

 

[BabyPiglet]

I do get a little teary-eyed, but to be fair, I get the same feeling whenever any kind of vacation is ending. I don't want to go back to the real world!

 

[DznyCrzy11]

I don't cry but I get teary eyed. I also get teary eyed and get goose bumps when approaching the Walt Disney World sign upon arrival, same with watching Wishes the first night there.
