I think it is in the Hall of Presidents versus AA, but the part of the video around 9/11 where George W. Bush says "We hear you" to the First Responders working at the World Trade Center always gets me choked up.

My son is still in the "magic" phase of everything. Watching him get made up as Jake at Pirates league, and see him LITERALLY believe he was now a pirate (and boy he let us know the entire day!) made me well up.
Now I am a former college football playing linebacker, but I am a WATER BAG!!!! haha. I am tearing up right now thinking of what other memories to post.
So in no particular order:
-Driving under the "Walt Disney World sign" for the first time on our trip
-Walking into our room with our luggage
-Seeing the monorail while driving on World drive
-EPCOT park music at the entrance
-Riding through the contemporary on the monorail and watching my son move to the right hand side of the train to see the characters at Chef Mickey....like I did as a child. It means the world to me because I never got to experience any sit down restuarants as a kid. I am the oldest of 4, and as Florida residents it was all my parents could afford to just get us there. We would leave the park mid day, walk to our cars and eat sandwiches in our mini van in the heat for lunch, and go back to finish the day. But we were at Disney!!! So being able to give that experience to my son, and watch him hug pluto while he ate mickey waffles as other families passed and looked on in envy at my son, like I once did as a child on the monorail, makes me cry like an infant. It feels good to give that to him. Hes been twice now and hes 6.....so we are very very lucky.
Of course the end of our vacation always makes me cry, because hundreds of days of planning, and a vacation of enjoyment is over and that hits hard.

Me too! I say goodbye thanks for a great time and don't look back.

You know what's funny?
I always try to film that last moment, right when we are about to exit and we look back down main street and the castle. Can't let my wife watch these video clips though, as she would ball her eyes out.

I always tip my hat, say 'see you next year, turn around, and walk out under the train station, not looking back. Every trip must end that way for me.

- 'Star light star bright' in Wishes
- The 'M-I-C' at the end of the old ME video going back to MCO.
- When they sing Silent Night during the Candlelight Processional.
- The video montage at the end of American Adventure
- The holiday tag at the end of Illuminations.
Is it me, or is it getting dusty in here??? Darn those allergies.......................

What tears me up...almost every time once back On Property :
Arriving at MCO, getting on the mono-tram from the gate to the Main Terminal and hearing the recorded spiel say *...wether here on business, or visiting one of our world class resorts...welcome to Central Florida*.
Always a nice moment.
Arriving at EPCOT, and seeing SSE from the monorail. Always good to be back *home*, and the circle tour from above is a great way to return to the area.
The current state of the Imagination Pavilion, and knowing the Original ride-thru attraction is no longer there ALWAYS makes me very sad. A personal thing. Too much hurt and anger still present...too many tears.
The film montage near the finale to *The American Adventure* usually leaves my cheeks damp.
I have lost count of how many times i have seen this Show over the years, but it still packs a punch.
The theme song compliments the imagery perfectly.
The finale segment of *Illuminations* -absolutely awesome, and still is regardless of the multiple times i have seen it since the ROE version began.
Certain parade soundtracks through the years have effected me...and still do sometimes when i am in the right mood and listening to them at home.
Ditto for some old extinct Attraction music too..Horizons and JII.
Seeing various parts of the Property under used...( closed locations/little development ) or over used ( DVC atrocities, third party entities ). Can bring out some moodiness in me, even on the nicest day.
That slip of paper ...slid under my hotel door and hung on my rooms door handle...the day before i leave.
Not really a *cry* moment...more a non-damp somber moment.
That departure video run on the Magical Express....perfectly timed to play the well known * Mickey Mouse Club* song and have the characters say *those* lines right before you step off the bus at MCO.
Argh....that always makes me crinkle.
The MCO mono-tram from the Main Terminal...back to the gates..departing recorded spiel.
Always a bit melancholy when i hear that one...

And most of us feel exactly the same way. But a little lighthearted humor never hurt anything, and we can still poke fun of minor frustrations yet appreciate the positives...all at the same time.

Ok- I'm sitting here tearing up reading some of your posts!
1. I have several spots in Wishes that make me cry...
- The spoken part in the very beginning - i.e. When stars are born...
- The portion with the BatB music
- The Go the Distance part
- And pretty much everything from the Blue Fairy until the end
2. I grew up with MSEP, so I often tear up right as the lights go out
3. It doesn't happen every trip, but I will tear up sometimes upon making that turn onto MSUSA and seeing the castle for the first time that trip
4. Big Blue World in Finding Nemo often makes me cry
5. Flying over London in Peter Pan
6. I say good-bye at the end of every trip. Doing this varies each trip, but there are always a few tears.
7. I usually get a bit misty seeing dressed up little girls coming out of or going into places like BBB, CRT, etc. I can't help but think about how special those places have been to my kids and know that the child I'm seeing is probably experiencing the most magical part of their trip.
8. Golden Dream...but part of this is because I also got to sing it in a choral event back when I was in high school.
9. Strange, but when they sing Under the Sea during Little Mermaid in DHS- yeah, I'm in tears
10. When I see Steamboat Willie at the end of Fantasmic!
Bonus...any time we're there and happen to hear any of the old music. The Listen to the Land once sent me into a flood of tears on DME.

Same! I also cry in Fantasyland on the Little Mermaid ride. It's not even a sad song, just sonically powerful with connections close to my heart!

Think for yourselfer
The music in Space's tunnel, seeing SSE, an empty WS after Illuminations,
And Golden Dreams in the AA.
I guess we are only doing happy tears then....

The monorail ride from MK to the TTC if that is our last ride before we drive off to the airport.
To me, that is the saddest phrase in all of Walt Disney World!

That last look over your shoulder as your walking down Main Street on your last day/night. Trying to walk as slow as possible to get as much in as possible and soak in every second. Realizing I should have slowed down the last 6 days and enjoyed everything like I did those that last walk out.
Continuing the b#ll#cks, I see....

I am a huge softie, my wife thinks that WDW is the only place that I let myself forget everything and become a kid again...
- I tear up walking down Main Street with my kids.
- Seeing the kids interact with their favorite characters (my youngest had a very special moment with her favorite Jessie during a parade, and I had a CM ask me if I was ok...lol)
- Rope Drop at the MK
- The entrance music at Epcot

The prologue music of Beauty and the Beast as the enchanted mirror opens.
Sistine Chapel ceiling of Spaceship Earth (When I haven't ridden the ride in a long time)
Illuminations: Reflections of Earth
The finale of The American Adventure always puts me in tears.
When the Voices of Liberty sing Shenandoah. Tissues are needed.
The finale of Impressions de France. Saint Saens' 3rd Organ Symphony is just too powerful.
Wishes.

Whenever I hear "When You Wish Upon a Star", hearing a clip of Walt saying his opening address of DL, leaving.
