When covid 19 takes away a year of planning and your trip is cancelled ðŸ˜
Oh drat! Even reading the list of what makes you cry, made me cry! I’m such a softie …. It’s no wonder Disney has had most of my money over the last 30 years! (And I live in the UK, that’s a lot of money, folks!)
The moment you have you have to leave Disney World, and return home.
“Golden Dreams” in the American Adventure. I lose it without fail every single time I see it. The song in and of itself is so beautiful, but the montage, especially after they added in 9/11, does me in.
My other downfall are all the nighttime shows, past and present- Fantasmic, Illuminations, Wishes, and especially Spectromagic. I cry while I smile.
ME TOO!!! Golden Dreams gets me every single time as well. That wonderful music and all the faces from our history, especially the recent additions!
