Why does Magic Kingdom Do This ?

[DisneyDebNJ]

Cheers,but it's Abu Dhabi in 2013 so WDW will be 2014 unless I win the lottery.

Here's wishing you good luck and a future trip me and my family will take in 2014, God willing. One way or another Hatter, we all will share a toast to the Disney magic that brought us all together!!!

Of course,that's the answer.I need to get my doctor to provide me with pixie dust cream.

the only treatment that works, is MORE pixie dust LOL

Good Morning Everyone. After reading all the replies to " which park on your last day/night " The majority went for MK,also mines.But what struck me was,why does walking up Main st and seeing Cinderellas castle wither it be the first day or the last night,bring us to tears? Don't get me wrong,I still cry at the end of "It's a wonderful life" but why does this castle do this to so many people.Even on my last night in July this year,after five visits over eight years,I still had a tear in my eye.Can anyone explain to me WHY ?

because of disney and all of the pixie dust!

 

[Minthorne]

I don't cry, I just get something in my eyes that makes them tear up. I think it may be pixie dust. I hear the place has a fairy infestation problem....

I think it's because the castle has become such an icon and so many people have so many special memories associated with it. When I see the castle I am reminded of countless memories associated with not only WDW, but Disney in general.

I teared up on my first couple visits (which didn't happen until I was 22 years old), but on my third trip in 2004, my sister and I took my 86 year old grandmother, just the three of us, for what was the best trip ever. She was so amazed at everything, she just couldn't believe all that Disney is or does. It was like watching it through a child's eyes. About a month (maybe less) after we got back from that magical trip, she got sick, went into the hospital, then into a nursing home, and passed away all within 5 months. We reinflated her mylar Mickey head balloon for her funeral, and even the preacher at the service mentioned how SHE had mentioned to him how glad she was she went on the trip with us.

Obviously, that next trip I took, I cried when I was in the MK, just all of those magical memories with her welling up.

And now, I've had the joy of taking my now 9-year old little brother twice, and he has become my new Disney-loving partner. Couldn't be happier about that.

So, add all of these emotions with the emotion I felt for Disney from childhood, long before I set foot in a park, and there you have why I am a blubbering mess

I don't cry basically because I'm dead on the inside, but I do get a little emotional sometimes. The castle isn't what will do it, but I might see a child that reminds me of my girls when they were young and get a little verclempt. The weird thing is that I grew up with Uncle Walt and Mickey Mouse Club (original) and Disneyland. Didn't go there until I was almost 60 years old, but I saw it on TV the first few years it was in existence. It is much better in color then it was in black and white.

I do, however, think it is sweet how people are still able to generate that much emotion. Sometimes I envy it and wish I could, but I guess it's just not in my makeup. It must be freeing to be able to do that.

 

[ThankstoMOM]

I've never cried, but absolutely get bummed when we leave!!! Every time I see Main Street and the castle it reminds me of all the sacrafices my mom(single mom of 3) made to take us to the world all the times she did. She made our vacations so magical on a shoe string budget. WDW is absolutely a part of my family and will always be. Heck I've dedicated my legs to the World (tattoos which I'm DYING to post when they are done) Can't wait to share it all with my kids one day!!

Cause it's the symbol of everything good in the world. At Disney theres not a care in the world, troubles are left behind. You are free to be a kid again, free to let the real you out, time to finally go forth and live out those plans youve been planning, changing, adjusting. You see the Castle and your mind says I'm in a wonderful place.
