Any adults ever "cry" when leaving Walt Disney World?

[DuckTalesWooHoo1987]

My wife does this just about EVERY trip.... .
My solution: Before we even GO on "current trip" ? Husband has "Next Trip" already in the can . Hotel, Air, APs.... as much as I CAN have. EVERY time we do the "Walk of Shame" - I can hold my wife's hand and rattle off the exact date of our next trip .

Being a DVC member helps me to cope with the "last day" BIG TIME. LOL! We go 3 times a year and I STILL get sad when a trip winds down. A few years ago we were on the monorail going back to BLT and my wife could tell that I looked down and asked what was wrong and I said "we've only got 3 more days and this trip is over" and she said "We'll be back in 4 months!" LOL! Each trip still just has a sort of "identity" to it or something and even though I know I will always be back and I even know the very dates that I will be there and already have basically 2 trips booked at all times I still just get the blues when leaving the Magic Kingdom on the last night of each trip. Now it's even more special though because my little boy is old enough to stay late with me while my wife takes our little girl back to pack and we just sweep through the MK and do everything and I get to experience it through his eyes like I did when I was a kid. So there's always something to look forward to when I get back because soon my little girl will also be big enough to ride everything as well. Now I just have to worry about the sadness that is coming the more I realize they are growing up. LOL!

For the record, when I was a kid I ABSOLUTELY cried like a little baby when I had to leave the MK.

My teary time is when I first walk into the MK and see that castle. It takes my breath away every time. I feel sad upon leaving and start planning for next year

After two/three weeks at WDW I'm usually more than ready to leave and get away from the heat, the crowds, the over priced food and merchandise, the sore feet etc and usually can't wait to get home. But its after a few days of being at home and being back at work that I wish I was back in Orlando.

You get my vote for Husband of the Year!!!!
(Can I give you my husband's number. You know. Give him a call. Give him a hint. Show him how it's done...)

I cry when I leave, usually when I see the final bill and blisters on my feet

Our last trip (which was also our very first) in June 2008, there were many kids crying on the Magical Express on the way back to the airport.

My boyfriend (who was 30 at the time) shed a couple of tears on the bus as well.

Any other adults who experience sadness leaving WDW?

Everytime I see the "show" st the end of the night especially when tinker bell flies across the castle

I cry the moment I arrive to my hotel, because of the emotions of being in the world and then I cry on the DME when we're leaving and it has sunk in that I have to go back to my usual schedule.

Nope...usually too exhausted to feel feelings LOL

I never cried until we went on a trip where we took our almost 3 year old for the first time and knowing it would be my parents last. My Dad was 85 at the time and was declining in his age and both my parents said it would be their last trip.

We watched the fireworks at the castle the last night and all I could think about was "this is the last time we will all be together at WDW." I was waterworks.

We had taken so many pictures on that trip and because I'm forever grateful because my father passed away a little over a month ago (May 23, 2016) at age 92. (I only include this link because I'm so proud of my Dad - he had a mark on the sign industry by making be first McDonalds sign and he designed the Union 76 Sphere sign - a first of its kind in the industry.)

We had gone to WDW several times as children and as young adults with my parents. My father loved PoC, The Jungle Cruise and the Haunted Mansion. He loved EPCOT (when it was still educational, inspirational and futuristic). It will be bittersweet next time we go because I'll be thinking of him when we go on those rides again.

PS: he was in failing health last summer and we were able to take him to the Orlando area (Orange City & Deltona/Deland) to have one last visit with my Aunts and Uncles). That was a special and blessed trip.

Almost. But for me leaving WDW was particularly difficult knowing it would be the last time I would see it.

I didn't start crying when I first left Walt Disney World back in 2004 until I seen Mickey waving goodbye to guests after Wishes is over. Then I start breaking down when I was on the ferry as it was heading back to the parking-lot/Trams. I wish Mickey did this more often these days.

Its not WDW, but I had my first visit to Disneyland last week (Monday and Tuesday). They didn't have fireworks Monday due to the drought and wind conditions, but we saw World of Color at California Adventure on Tuesday, and I couldn't help but smile and even feel a few tears forming when they were talking about Walt, his dream, and making his dream become a reality and...it was a great show and I want to see it again.

I used to cry when we left on our first trips together because it meant my 24/7 time with my boyfriend was over and we'd have to go back to school, our separate homes, and worrying about the future. But now that we're married, while we still never want to leave that magical place, I feel better knowing we have a lifetime of trips together just waiting for us, and we still get to be together. Forever! Muahaha!

To be honest I never thought I post in here, but I did a little when we left this last trip, which was a week ago. Anyways my DW and I are expecting our first child, going to be a girl in November so I was a little emotional for me cause I knew it was our last trip ever as just my wife and I but also because I can not wait to start making memories with our DD.

By the end of our vacation, I am usually full up on fun and ready to sleep in my own bed again. But the music (not the videos) on DME always gets me. It's not a full-on, ugly cry; but more of a teary, sniffle-y thing.
