Disney moments

[allie_to_you]

When I am sitting in front of the castle and seeing/hearing wishes.

When I walk up Main Street on the first day of our visit and realize that I'm home again.

Looking at any of the pictures my DH & I took while there on our honeymoon.

Amen to all of these! They all give a tug at my heartstrings and make me feel so happy!

my brother is disabled and he often forgets so every time we go to disney and he sees his favorite disney characters all over again his face lights up cause he thinks its the first time!!is his fave!

Same a previous posters...walking down Main Street, watching the opening ceremonies at MK, Illuminations and Wishes, watching my children's faces, WDW TV commercials...

On our first family trip, my DS was 9 and his favorite movie was "Lion King". I cried as he sat in awe watching "The Festival of the Lion King" at AK. I'll never forget his expression.

BTW, I even got teary eyed reading everyone's replies. I'm very sappy.

Whenever I hear

"When you wish upon a star .... "

[LucyintheSky]

Same stuff alot of people have said. But i also love the Peace on Earth ending to Illuminations during the holidays. That ALWAYS gets me, as many times as I've seen it, even when I watch it on video.

Entering any park, early in the morning, while everything is fresh and dewey, not too hot, and the whole day is ahead of me...

Also, seeing the look on DD's face when she meets the characters.

Also, enjoying any part of WDW, at any time, with just my wife.

So true! The colors are just so much brighter and it feels like it's all there just for us!

[meldan98]

There are too many to list them all...but here are few that get me....

The fireworks, the parades, my daughter running up to Mickey and dancing with him for the first time (buckets and buckets for that one), holding my daughter's hand and walking through the castle (just like Walt and Mickey) and of course the Candlelight Processional.

[Tynkerbelle]

The real question is what doesn't make me cry at WDW - I'm crying just reading this post!

The usuals - Wishes, Illuminations, walking down Main St and seeing the castle, the end of Fantasmic when Sorcerer Mickey appears....

The firsts and lasts of the trip - driving through the gates, seeing Mickey, riding the monorail, walking through whichever resort we're staying at, any special event (Candlelight Processional is a real tearjerker)....

When I take someone for the first time and see their face everytime they experience something new. No one ever believes how much there is until they are actually there.

The one that really gets me is the ending of Spaceship Earth where all the echos of the voices start playing. I think about my life and how much I have done and how so much has changed over the 3 decades I have ridden it (84, 95, 05) and yet each time I ride it, the same feeling fills my heart. Also, when I stand in front of the geosphere for the first time and take it all in.
Last trip I also rode Star Tours, and while we were in the queue line the theme song was at it's quiet, slow point where just the clarinet is playing by itself. Whenever I hear that part I remember me and the Mrs at the entrance to the ride.

Keep this post going! This is one of my favorites!

I hear you! I tear up all the time. The sweetest memory for me was when we were leaving the Magic Kingdom and my daughter (then 6) took me by the hand and said, "Don't cry Mama, we'll bring you back again really soon!"

Mine is also Spaceship Earth and at the end of the ride when they are narrating about the future and the possibilities. I was riding with my son and looked at him and wondered what his life will be like and all the possibilities that lie ahead of him and for me to make sure he does not make the same mistakes I had. I also know that for at least one tiny week out of his life that we were at a place where one can dream and be free, both father and son.

So many things....
the first glimpse of the castle
walking down main street the first day
walking down main street the last day
wishes
ME last day


Too many to count!

The thing that gets me choked up is the first boat ride from FW to DW and watching my DD’s expression as we make the turn around the Contemporary resort and see the castle for the first time. My DD’s just sit in silence with the largest smile on their face . Priceless!!

[joonyer]

It never fails. I get teary eyed every time during Wishes when I hear "When you wish upon a star . . " Wishes, Dreams coming true, Magic. It's just magical. I become a kid again, for my kids, if that makes any sense.

[magicman]

I tear up when I see the excitement in my kids faces as they furiously wave & scream to the characters in the parades (particularly during Spectromagic).

Also, there is something so special about those first two notes of WISHES.

[LoriMistress]

There are numerous things that choke me up. Seeing the enterance of MK and walking through MSUSA and seeing Cinderella's Castle for the first time...it just brings me to tears. Also listening to the music that's played throughout the parks. It always gets to me. And seeing Donald Duck and giving him a big hug.

[WinnipegDisneyFanatic]

Wow...good question.

I would say SpectroMagic at night...arriving at the park for the first time...the opening and closing of Fantasmic! gets my choked up...Checking out gets me really choked up...pretty much any parade does too...and even listening to music CD's (like Music from the Park, for example) when I am prepping for a trip to WDW can get me choked up...not sure why...

...but I guess it's just....part of the magic!

Walking through the castle with my kids.

Watching their faces light up with each new character they see.

Listening to them report everything exciting thing they see.
