MAN UP! Manly men, who CRIES at WDW?

[Atomicmickey]

OK, time to confess.

There are several moments/places, etc. that get me all choked up in Disney World. Illuminations, for example, can reduce me to a blubbering idiot.:lol:

My kids think I'm nuts. I told them when we went that they were going to see a grown man cry several times on the trip. I don't know why, but it has that effect on me. Gotta wear sunglasses!

Other things that can do it, walking into Main Street for the first time, or up to Spaceship Earth for the first time. Heck, just about any time.

So, am I nuts like my kids say? Or . . . let's hear it from the manly men that blubber at WDW! Where and why?

 

[Main Street USA]

Nah, you're not nuts. In my world there aren't any rules on when a man should or shouldn't cry. There are some incredibly moving areas and sights in WDW.

 

[foreverbelle]

i think its great that your willing to admit it. and i dont think your the only one either. there is no shame in it!

 

[SleepingMonk]

Sounds like a common case of manopause.

Get your test levels checked asap.

 

[jmvd20]

I've been known to get the occasional "stray object" in my eye(s) from time to time.

 

[Lucky]

I'll admit it, I bawl like a baby when Boma runs out of Zebra Domes.

 

[RiversideBunny]

There's no crying in Disney World.

Or baseball.

:king:

OK...I'll confess...almost every time I see Wishes, I well up...it just makes me think about how Disney has made my life better...having Disney in my life made me an optimist...to be able to believe in things that you can't see.

However, the most emotional time I EVER had at a Disney park was at Disneyland right after 9-11. Again, at the fireworks show. They did the complete show of the fireworks and then did the add-on at the end that they usually do on the 4th of July, which is Kate Smith singing God Bless America...I don't think there was a dry eye in the place.

Na you need to man up and go get a beer a t the RC!

 

[krankenstein]

During Golden Dreams at the end of AA...it gets me everytime.

 

[GoofyDadKB]

During Golden Dreams at the end of AA...it gets me everytime.

Ditto!

And when I see my Credit Card bill when I get home.

 

[goodtimes5286]

yeah your nuts

i dont even remember the last time i cried, let alone in that happiest place on the planet

although i do think that i might get choked up after my dad dies and i go back to disney for the 1st time without him (ive gone without him tons of times, but going after hes gone, thats diff).

 

[Atomicmickey]

Oh, yeah. Golden Dreams, American Adventure.

Add that one to the list.

I got blubbery even at Dream Along With Mickey. It was the first day we were there as a family, a beautiful morning, and I just couldn't believe
I was standing there in front of the castle with the whole crew, awesome.

Glad to see I'm not alone.:wave:

 

[Dragonrider1227]

YOU'RE ALL WUSSIES! THE LOT OF YA!

Okay, I cried a little at the end of Journey into Imagination with Figment when they started the old Imagination song that I hadn't heard in almost 20 years...
and don't get me STARTED on Fantasmic or Wishes!

 

[mcjaco]

I don't cry, but I do pour out a forty, for my dead homey. Horizons.

 

[Edeyore]

It happened to me once. In 2000 my family and I were separated during Illuminations. We saw the show, but not together and my son blamed himself, no matter how much his mother and I tried to explain it was not his fault. We were not able to get back to WDW until 2004. We made sure we were in a tight group and nobody was going anywhere without the rest of the group. As illuminations began I could see my son welling-up and I did too. There were big hugs all around. It is one of the reasons that Illuminations will always be my favorite.

 

[girlface]

Oh grow a pair!

Real men get choked up..but to actually cry! Come on ladies!

You Wuss!!! j/k I'll admit during the nightly fireworks and all that at Disney Land I get goosebumps..but I dont' cry...I tend not to cry for things designed to make you cry (yes even Extreme Makeover Home Edition), but I do get goosebumps which is probably my equivalent.

[Master Yoda]

I have never cried once at WDW although I have been known to get "fireworks fallout" in my eyes during illuminations especially during the peace on earth tag.:lookaroun

 

[DizneyPryncess]

My husband will be crying next week when we're at California Grille watching Wishes while the Pens playoff game is on. I'll admit - I will be stressing out too. But 90 days ago, how was I supposed to know the game would be on!?
