Thank youKind of a weird post...
Is somebody going to step on your toes?Are there many reports of grown men crying at the opening this morning? I don't want to be the only one next week when I go.
Oh dont get me started about Savis - that was a religious experience and I was just watching my son build it! It was way more an experience (an attraction in itself) than I was expecting. Music .. .narration ... lighting. Just wow.I have definitely heard from several grown friends (male and female) that they were close to tears during their light saber ceremony.
I thought I would be a blubbering mess the first time we went, I cry for fireworks and movies and all kinds of dumb stuff. Surprisingly, I was fine. Afterwards, it hit me a little but I was just nervous and excited being there.
Oh, this! I don't know what is was about the MK opening show, but I cried every darned time. In fact, we haven't been to WDW in 5 years and when I called to make our reservation for this upcoming trip and the hold music was "Walkin' right down the middle of Main Street USA," suddenly I was crying. It's Pavlovian for me, apparently.I don't know that I'd cry regarding Star Wars, however I have definitely been struck by things in the parks that got me emotional and misty eyed for sure. Actually, my first time back as an adult, the (no longer performed) MK Welcome Show got me - when all the characters showed up on the train! Wishes, Happily Ever After, Rivers of Light, they all stir emotions. I definitely was holding it back when I first entered Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea - it had been a dream trip! Watching Fantasmic! over there, I knew it was different, but I was expecting the same music. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't, until it started to swell into that familiar fanfare - yeah, it got me!
So, hey, go nuts and don't worry one bit about it. Let the wonder take hold and the emotions flow! I love Star Wars too, so I wonder how I might react. I guess I'll find out eventually.
