Why Do I Cry... Does Any Body Else???

[sssteele]

Believe me, I don't expect it will ever happen, but I will cry the hardest if I ever stop crying at/about ALL things Disney.

 

[nblake05]

I'm a crier too. But I never see anyone else crying. Where are you people? Are you all wearing wrap-around sunglasses? Or sitting in the last row of the shows? That's what I try to do, but I still think people notice me.

I know!!! I never see anyone else getting emotional... so I always figured it was just me! During Fantasmic, when the princesses' boats all cross in front I lose it. And One' Man's Dream, I was such a mess we had to leave before they showed the film! Before our last trip, I ripped some disney music from youtube to our computer and made cds and a playlist for our anniversary. We'll be listening to the music in the car and I'll just start crying! At least there are more of you out there... in Sept. I'll be looking for you all... instead of hiding my own tears!

Oh, I'd forgotten about One Man's Dream! Most things about Walt do it to me. There's the poster they sell at WDW where you've got a picture of Walt walking along the cleared land for MK, and they superimpose Cinderella Castle over it. I started crying when I saw it, and when DH asked me what was wrong, all I could say was, "He never got to SEE it!"

I usually just lurk and don't post but I had to respond to this. I am a big cryer, too. The worst time was when they played Let There Be Peace on Earth. I totally lost it. You see, my mom was in the hospital and I knew I would never see her again. Got the call to fly home the next day.

 

[DisneyFairytale]

I'm wondering if I'm alone here... I am a 35 year old woman who still gets emotional over all things Disney! Does anybody else? I cry and get all choked up and yet I can't put my finger on why. Before we go to DW my DH and I watch YouTube Videos of other people's vacations or cute videos of parents surprising their kids with a trip. Then my husband looks over at me and I'm crying with no reasonable explanation as to why. I mean, they aren't tears of sadness, but I just get all choked up! I cry at Fantasmic, I cry at Festival of the Lion King...I cried the first time we walked in to the GF to check in. I really cry when its time to leave. Granted, I'm not sobbing or anything... but there is definately sniffling at the very least. Am I crazy... do I need therapy ( my parents think its wierd... my DH thinks its funny)??? Does any other, normally reasonable adult, experience this phenomena?

You are not alone...I think I have so much history and great moment build into Disney, that watching other people's vacations or trips automatically brings back my own memories and emotions as I related to the videos.

What an amazing feeling tho. Nothing like Disney makes me feel so happy.

Keep bringing those on. You've made me want to start a thread about this.

I cry eat time I walk into the MK. It is true happiness. I also cry when we leave. I think my DH hates to go because I always cry at Orlando International Airport when we leave. I can never understandy why we don't just move to Orlando (need a career there, not a job).

Wishes makes me cry, so does Fantasmic. The shows are fantastic!!!

 

[POTCAddict]

I cry every time I walk down main street usa for the first time. My brother and I used to watch that video all the time when we were kids when all the characters are singing the song and walking in with all the first guests of the day. (sorry I can't remember the name of that video) Last year, we met my brother and his family in Disney for a family vacation- he is in the airforce and he and his family live far away now so being in Disney with them was twice as magical. Then, on our last day I saw the main street show (which I had never seen and didn't know they had!) and the song was playing and I was watching my sweet baby neice watch the show- I almost lost it! Being there with my family and the song piping through the speakers was too much for me!

 

[stitches of laughter]

my ma and I would cry during fireworks and whenever we took a picture that we knew would be a memory forever. we cried during shows like carousel of progress and hall of presidents and the american adventure.

i know i am going to cry during my solo trip. my mom passed away in february and disney is our place. no one really gets it and when they ask me where i am going on my vacation i get confused and snobby looks. i dont care because i know when I will be in disney, my ma will be spreading pixie dust all around me.


i feel sad for the people who will never get to experience it, and even more upset to those who have been to disney and don't realize how amazing it truly is. it's not just a mouse or thrill rides. it's about making memories and believing life is good.

oh man, i want to cry right now!

 

[MarknTara]

I do too and I'm a guy. I think a lot of it has to do with nostalgia or the fact that I loved these characters as a kid and now I am an adult.

Fantasmic got me bad last year. It was such an amazing show.
The movies- Lion King, Little Mermaid, Toy Story 3, UP, etc..
Watching the surprise videos on youtube with the parents surprising their kids with trips to disney world gets me too sometimes.

You're not kidding. Disney just had a commercial out a couple weeks ago, advertizing for summer vacations in Disneyland, and thats what they were, small clips of kid's reactions. I cried every single time I saw that commercial

I always think that when I walk in MK and get my first look at the castle.

I have always wanted to go on a disney cruise but never thought I would get to go. Through a family windfall we are going! Every time I hear the horn (when you wish upon a star) I start to cry. My hubby thinks I'm nuts!

 

[DisneyCrazyMomma]

Yes! The first time I went with MY family (DH and DS) I cried driving under the sign, seeing the tree at the end of main street, the castle, all the parades, EVERY time DS saw Pluto, the fireworks, Hall of Presidents, so many other things. The See ya Real Soon sign driving out gets me too. SO emotional about everything but especially DisneyWorld!

Hugs to you! I don't know that I could do it! I hope it's the most magical trip ever!

 

[Disney Dork in DFW]

Okay, so given that I am a guy from Texas, it is against all social conventions for me to confess this, but here goes: I tend to be an über-sap when it comes to Disney. Of course, if you don't get at least teary-eyed during the first 20 minutes of Finding Nemo or Up, then, well, there could be some serious underlying issues.

Then, we wind up in the parks and, rather than being able to pause the moments that would otherwise make us cry, we have to sit there and "endure" it! And this year is going to be our first ever at Christmas time! I am doomed!

This is one of the main reasons why Disney is such a special place to me. Every time mom and I, and our family have gone through a really difficult trial, we've booked a trip to Disneyland to feel better, so there are a lot of emotions invested in Disneyland.
You are one heck of a lady. I can only imagine how difficult it must be thinking about going through this. Make sure you go out there with a smile and continue on the memories and make it all worth while. I have a feeling like it's going to be one amazing trip.

 

[Wests4Disney]

You are NOT alone! The first time I entered the line for MK, I cried. First time I saw the WDW signs, I cried. I sill get choked up going to WDW even though we have now been about 8 times. I also get choked up entering Disneyland (which we live fairly close to--4 hours). I KNOW I will cry when I take my new baby back to Disneyland for the first time for sure. I also cry when I leave. Luckily, my family just accepts that is who I am. My oldest son (15) is now starting to say, "oh, mom's crying again."

Heck, I got choked up at Cars 2 yesterday. I don't even try to cover it up, that is just who I am.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Your mom was much too young. I'm glad though that you were able to share such beautiful, sweet memories and that you have a place where you can feel close to your mom. She shared with you such a special place and hope your trip brings you comfort and peace. And I hope, if it's what you wish, that one day you will share Disney with your own children.

I do the same thing with "Celebrate" or the theme song of the parade of dreams.

thank you, i so appreciate that

thank you. i am struggling to feel as if i "deserve" this trip, like should i really be spending that much money on myself and that much time off of work?

Absolutely you do! now you have to make for 2 people. What would she say if she were there. She would want you to continue going there and have fun for the both of you-so that's your new mission now.
