Why am I crying???

[silverhaze269]

It starts on the Magical Express for me. I hear the music on the video that starts playing and I'm gone...well, it's not that bad, it never really is. I usually try to keep my crying in public to a minimum so I never really let myself go completely, but I'm kind of afraid that this trip will be different, it being our honeymoon and all.

I never used to get like this at all though, but it seems as if with every trip to WDW I get "worse". I'm to the point now where I start to tear up when I hear/see the "when you wish upon a star" music/intro scene to all of the new Disney movies, or when I read through a thread like this or someone's TR or PTR with those "special" moments. Its just that I know how awesome WDW is, and I've been there to experience it, and I think that every time I go back I feel more blessed than ever to be able to go again, because there are so many people out there that will never get the chance to go I think another thing for me is that Disney World means family to me, and family means everything to me (and now I'm crying )

This thread gave me the warm fuzzies just to know that I'm not alone. I cried the very first time I saw the castle way back when DH and I went together for the 1st time. Then I cried a 2nd time when we went on our honeymoon 2 years later. We've gone every year since 2006 and I cry every time! So glad to know I'm in good company.

As a 19 year old teenage guy, Its embarrassing to think how much I tear up when I go to Disney! Last Time I went to WDW I missed the Wishes, But Saw illuminations and that was rather embarrassing too because of the tears! BUT Wishes is the one that gets me- Especially the last minuet and a half! Ohh and of course the main street entrance and seeing the Castle! Meeting Peter Pan for the first time was rather rather interesting too- Totally got caught up in the moment- In those few minuets there was no telling me that He wasn't the real life true Peter Pan! This year i need to make sure I hide tears at Wishes!

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

Oh my goodness....I did too!

 

[shellie may]

It does not matter how many times i see wishes i cry like a baby oh and the magic the memories and you just the song alone makes me cry and illuminations, and even Fantasmic at the end....okay maybe i cry at all the nighttime shows

however, the first time i walked into Disneyland park at the beginning of this year i cried tears of joy i remember walking in and my mom was talking to my dad on the phone and all of a sudden i was like "there's the castle its so small but its so beautiful" and i started shaking my mom and she was crying and was like "i gotta call you back im about to have a breakdown" to my dad we both skipped down main street crying tears of joy. it was a moment i will never forget being from Florida going to California was always just a fantasy because its far and we have WDW right here but finally being able to experience it was a dream even though we probably looked like fools to all the locals that were out that day we were in our own little bubble and it was magical and dont even get me started on world of color i cried more tears

Waterworks here. I'm just glad I'm not the only one standing on Main Street crying ... feel so not alone!

(I got tears reading this thread)

 

[tink&her2boys]

My sister-in-law does this when the Trolley Singers come out. Stands on Main Street USA bawling like a baby. She says it's a combination of being happy feeling fortunate to be able to be there, longer for the simpler times that Main Street USA seems to represent.

On eyear I was watching a parade and it was one where the characters would come off the floats and take bystanders into the parade and dance with them or whatever. Well, there I am sitting there and Prince Charming comes down off the float and takes the little girl next to me, who was in a wheelchair, and starts dancing with her and spinning her around and she was laughing and smiling from ear to ear and I (and everyone around me) was bawling like a freakin' baby. When he brought her back to her family she said to her mother "Mommy, I really AM a beautiful princess. Prince Charming said so".

That was, by far, the most magical thing I have ever been invoved in at WDW.

I don't get into a full cry, but I do tear up on the first day in the Magic Kingdom...just walking down Main Street and seeing the castle....then on the last day, I tear up again as I say see you next time.....

 

[Sphinx610]

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON????. Does anyone else go through this??
Does anyone else go through this crazyness??

omg YES. My hubs thinks I am nuts!!! I welled up just reading your post! hahaha I know I am going to cry when I hold my kids hands as we walk up main st to the castle. I have been planning our November trip since January and I tear up just planning it! hahaha

I'm not a crier for the most part. When pulling into WDW on the ME, I usually start grinning like a fool.

I scowl when I get the Mickey Mail on my door, and pout on the ME on the way to the airport. No tears though.

Ok, I take it back..this post made me cry!

I am not normally a crier, but I definitely tear up at the rope drop for magic kingdom and usually for wishes and illuminations.

Me, too! I can usually keep it from becoming full on tears, so as to avoid the look of ridicule from DH . But on the inside, I'm sobbing!

"...watch the Wonderful World of Disney. The opening show was tinkerbell flying around the castle."

That was great television that captured the attention and imagination of everyone in the family watching. Where is the programming today that comes close to Walt's presentations?

I well up when the plane to Florida takes off, when the bus pulls through the main gate, when we pull up to the hotel, when we pull up to each park, when I walk through the gate onto Main Street, during the fireworks and parades, and when the commercials come on all during the rest of the year.

So, no, you are so not alone.

 

[soccer mom]

I sobbed uncontrollably as we were driving away at the end of our first trip. We had four kids and I was absolutely sure we would never be able to afford another trip to the world............look at my signature

What a lovely story!

I cry during the Festival of the Lion King. Every. Single. Time.

Teary-eyed now, too.

At work I am the known as the one who doesn't cry. I work in a domestic violence shelter, well for a few more days, I am leaving to work for the equally cheerful Office of Children's Services. Its not abnormal for these types of jobs to bring out the tears from time to time but I am not a crier unless I am in WDW.

I rode ME last year for the first time and was shedding a tear or two, Epcot reflections of earth, but the worst is leaving. And now reading these posts has brought out the hankies too. Happy tears are different and hard to explain I don't mind that I cry but I wish I didn't end up with a blotchy face and head ache that's the worst part!

I will be going with my BF next year something I have always wanted to do! I am sure I will find more reasons for happy tears.
