Why am I crying???

[leebee]

Disney makes me cry, all the time! I totally lose it at the end of Beauty and the Beast, and FOLK gets to me, too. DD18 and I both cry through Wishes... just thinking about sitting on Main St., with her sitting in front of me, leaning back against me (yes, she's 18, it's great!) as we watch Wishes together gets me all teary eyed right now! I have so many beautiful memories of Disney with my DD, my two nieces, and of course my DH, sis, and BIL! Almost every corner we turn holds another memory, another reason to get choked up. I love Disney and all the memories its made for my family.

PS- WATERWORKS ALERT- go to YouTube and watch the video from the after-hours cast party in ToonTown on the day it closed. When those characters leave to board the train, and everyone sings.... here come the tears, just thinking about it!!

Oh, come on now...all this crying...
For me, every time I walk past the Disney Gift Cards at Walgreens...that usually gives me a test.

When my Autistic son hugs the characters, that chokes me up big time. He's 14 now, and the parades and characters are a MAJOR part of his life.

Another crier here.

I have made 12 trips to the World and I cry on Mainstreet. I cry with every presentation of Wishes. I cry the day we leave. And on my first Disney cruise, I cried like a love sick teenager when Mickey came out for the Sail Away party.

I remember, Sunday nights and the Wonderful World of Disney as well. Those were the days, the days of family television..

I cry when we get there. I cry when we leave. I cry during the fireworks, and on some of the rides. I cry seeing the characters. My husband doesn't even shake his head at it anymore.

But what's really bad is when you do it when you're not even at Disney. Disney commercials on TV? Yup, I cry. Various threads on the DisBoards? I cry. Disney songs on my iPod? Depending on my mood that day, I cry.

It's part of being the crazy Disney fans we all are.

Mum and I were on the bus to the MK a few years ago, we were coming up to the Contemporary and she suddenly poked me in the leg. I looked up and caught a glimpse of the castle. All of a sudden I got a feeling of goosebumps and started to well up. The sunglasses stayed firmly on my face until the tears stopped

Disney tears here too.. The songs and videos and Wishes and the RD at MK always get the waterworks flowing.. It is good to know that others are tearing up too... Disney can be so emotional...

I cry during the fireworks when they talk about wishes coming true. My son came to me as a foster child and was adopted two years later. For some reason those fireworks and the speech that goes along with them makes me think about where he would be if he hadn't come into the system as a newborn. He'd be lucky to be alive and certainly wouldn't be at Disney World for the fourth time in five years.

I get this feeling of speechlessness whenever the magic hits me. Last trip, my fiance thought I was angry while we were on IASW...nope, just legitimately speechless!
Disney magic always gets me!

 

[JessiMommy]

I cry too! BTW....I cried just reading your post. So, I totally understand.

Ditto! I cry when I see the castle the first time in a trip, when Wishes starts, when I hear MSEP music anywhere, when I ride Small World, oh the list goes on... and did I mention I'm a FL resident and go all the time???

It is comforting to know I'm not crazy and there are lots of "us" out there!

 

[linskypens]

I've taken my daughter every year since she was 4 years old....She is 16 this year , and I am taking her for surprise visit. Will cry when she finds out, will cry when we drive under the arch.
We both will cry during Wishes, and I harder for this will probably be the last time I go with her until she has her own kids.
Very sad, yet Disney happy!!!

 

[Groomer Gal]

Yep..totally tearing up reading this.

I have not been to DW in about 25 years. This coming December we are surprising our twin DD's (age 8 by then) with their first trip!

I cry NOW just thinking about it!!! Seeing the Castle for the first time with my two ....fuggetaboutit!

Note to self: Pack tissues...and plenty of 'em.

 

[StilAPrincessAtHeart]

You can add me to the list of people who teared up just reading your post!!! And as one who cried during my first trip with my girls, at the end of the trip, now just thinking about that trip, while thinking of our next trip, etc....

 

[tpettie]

yup me too tears, tears, and more tears....

I cry at the walk down main street to the castle,
I cry watching my children enjoy the parade,
I cry at character meets when my littlest is in her dress and has that look mom were the dressed the same moment with a princess,
I cry remembering all my special memories and reading others great moments.

Ok yes I spend most of my happy holiday in tears

 

[Mamasmurf227]

I'm glad it's not just me!!!!

 

[ctlovesgt]

My sister said this was the thread for her and after reading it, it's a good spot for me too.

I have experienced the happy tears too. Beauty and the Beast always gets me. The closer to the front I sit the more I cry.

The best however was the first time we spotted Buzz Lightyear. It was our twins first trip and Sam was speechless that Buzz was "real".

Can't wait for October for our first trip with my sister and her twins. Well, we went as kids in 1976, but first time we'll travel together and appreciate it. She and I will either be enjoying happy tears or laughing til we snort!

I cry when I walk up main st and see the castle the first time. I think it's just happiness and feeling so lucky to be there.

 

[dizneyprincess1]

I am so glad to see this post. I cry the first day when I see the castle and watch wishes and especially when I see the parades and I see Mickey, Minnie and the whole gang..I also cry the last day knowing I have to leave and it will be another year. But what is bad is when i watch wishes or the opening ceremony or anything like that on the web and I start crying..My son laughs at me everytime he sees me cry. Its the magic of the Disney that causes us to cry.

 

[katibosch]

It's been one of my biggest dreams to take my daughter to WDW, so I'm sure I'm going to start bawling a bunch of times at her reactions to things... my DH just kind of smiles, when I cry like that at stuff. I many times cry when I'm happy so he's used to it!

 

[justgeorgi]

I cried just reading your post....making me think of all the times I cried

 

[Iluvmkymse]

Right there with all of you Cried reading the post
The tears start when I see the Welcome to Walt Disney World Sign and then the feeling I get when I see the Castle its like coming home.
Some people just don't understand the Magic and I feel sorry for them

Keep the tears coming because the Magic never stops
