I am an emotional baby when I am in WDW!!! Not all out crying but you know, choking up, and letting a tear out here and there.
I get teary eyed when I see the big sign.
Wishes! never fails to get me going either. Everytime. No matter how many times I see it.
When Beauty & the Beast come out during Fantasmic! I choke up.
Of course when I leave I get really sad and I usually cry either leaving the room, or when we pass under the sign that says "See ya real soon!".
I get emotional when I see children just in "awe" over their favorite characters.
And two times I get emotional... because there is a real tie with these is:
Illuminations and its a small world (and not because of the song lol)
In May of 2005 I took a solo trip to WDW. I was getting ready to watch Illuminations, and a woman and two of her friends came up next to me and asked if they could stand there, and I explained to them it was fine because I was there alone. Well of course, now they knew I was alone, and they chatted with me. Well the woman who I spoke with was named, Millie. She explained to me that she was a CM at a store at DHS, and she proceeded to tell me about a friend of hers, who would go down to Florida and visit her frequently, and his favorite show was Illuminations. She started telling me how much it meant to her to continue seeing it, because unfortunately her friend had passed away 6 months earlier. Well Millie started to cry and I just felt so honored that a woman I never met, would share such an important story with me. So now whenever I see Illuminations I think of Millie, and her wonderful friend, and how lucky I was to have met her. And well, I can't help but get emotional. And if anyone knows where Millie is now please let me know!!! Several times I have gone to WDW and asked for her, but she never seems to be working (Celebrity 5 & 10 is where I think she said she worked) so if anyone knows of and where Millie is please let me know!!!
As for it's a small world... this is why it makes me emotional...
My grandmother passed away when I was 7, and she was a school teacher. She saw IASW at the world's fair, and it inspired her to have her 2nd grade class do a play based on it. She is the person who put the Disney Magic in me. And I will never forget that. When she died of cancer, I was only 7, but I asked my mom if "gramma was in heaven with Walt Disney" and my mom said yes. And I said "wow she's lucky. i bet she's happy to finally meet him" and it almost made me feel at ease that she was "in heaven with Walt" because I thought she would be happier. A few years ago, we found some home videos she had taken before she passed away, in one of them, my grandfather was videotaping my cousins dancing, and I was sitting next to my grandmother, who was playing her organ, and she was teaching me how to play... and the song she taught me was "its a small world"... of course I bawled my eyes out watching the video and wondering if without her I would "get" the Disney Magic as I do now. So now whenever I go on the ride(this may sound silly), I leave a bit of a space next to me (permitting the ride isn't too busy), and I know my grandmother is sitting right next to me, and I have all I can do not to cry throughout the ride, and I just smile and remember how special it was for her to share her love of Disney with me.
Ok now I need tissues lol. Thanks guys lol:wave:
