The Hardest Thing ...

[beachezncream]

what is the hardest Park to leave on your last day?

Magic is always tough, especially when you leave at night, and have to fly out the next morning, knowing that that is the last firework show you get to see for months.. and I miss the smell of Main Street, and the general atmosphere.

I usually end my trips at the Mk which is always difficult especially when I don' have another trip already planned. But I imagine no matter what park I am in it would be difficult to leave since who wants to return to reality (

[xoHelloKittyox]

I would have to agree!!!!


MK is so hard to leave. Even if it's not your last day, at the end of the night after Wishes....you just want to stay forever!!! I havent been to WDW since my senior week in '06. I can still sit here and remember everything about spectromagic and wishes our last night there! (The Big Bad Wolf told my friend to call him when he walked by durring spectro! HAHA)


I think that EPCOT is pretty hard to leave too. Esp. since it's my favorite park






Oh my goodness!!!!! I WANT TO GO BACK RIGHT NOOOOOOOW! *throws tantrum!*

[Golf Grumpy]

It is bad when EPCOT is our last park since daugheter and i usually loose it BIG time leaving the park. We usually are staying at BCV and used to sit on the swings at the beach and hold each other...

Actually MK seems to be easier at times.

I'm glad to know I am not the only one. My kids seem to find it funny that I have a hard time leaving disney!

[Duchess99]

All the parks are really hard for me to leave. I hate walking out the gates and knowing that soon I will have to go back to the reality of work, bills, etc...
I usually go to MGM on my last day...I like to get one last ToT ride in

Most of the time we leave MK for our last day on purpose. It's always hard to leave the nastalgia and the magic of that park. When we go home the things we all remember are the sights the sounds and definitely the wonderful smells coming from every restaurant and shop on Main Street. The Ice Cream Shop in particular! I wish I could bottle that or put it in a candle! We always have a traditional "see ya next trip "as we head under the bridge and out of the park. I've been there 19 times since 1983 and I never get sick of it.

It doesnt matter which park it is .. the hardest thing for us is when we walk out those turnstiles for the last time. I always get my hand stamped though cuz I know I will be back (one day)

The Saddest Day in the World

I always feel a hint of envy toward those who are walking in as we are walking out.

For us it is MK with the last ride always Pooh. It is so hard when we know that this is the last thing we seem to want the lines to be a little longer with that. We get off slower with walking out of the park slower. This is the way our family does it, call it habbit or call it tradition this is how we end a vacation.

I know the feeling. All those people get to start having fun, and mine is years away.

We always make one of the restaurants in Epcot our last place to visit. For some reason a good meal in a great restaurant has a way of making it a little easier to re-enter the real world.Then it's off to the airport with plans and dreams already in motion for our next Disney vacation.

[katzctkpt]

MK most definately. We usually do a 1/2 day before leaving. We get there as soon as it opens make a mad dash to fantasyland and ride all those rides then make our way over to Splmt, BT, on to HM, POTC and finish up on mainstreet. It's really sad then the dreaded trip back home. Then we start planning the next one as soon as we're on the road home.

[grumpyguy]

leaving mk is the hardest for me.no matter how long our stay,the mk is first and last park
we attend.to me it is the world,everything else is just a disney bonus.it has become tradition
as we leave the gate to stop turn around and take one last look at the train station,monorail and everything else you can see and just try to take it all in.dw will say,"don't worry,we'll be back soon".

[biodtl]

It probably wouldn't matter whihc park we left - I would still cry. but we always start and end with MK, so that's it for me.

[beachezncream]

usually on the way to the airport we listen to our disney cds and get ourselves all ready. but on the ride home from the airport we are like "please turn the music offff" because it makes us sad =/

and i know what you mean about people walking in when you are walking out i hate that feeling.

[DisneyorBust]

For me, the Magic Kingdom is the toughest park to leave behind.
At the end of our last couple of trips, myself and either one or two of my children would make our way to the Magic Kingdom and hop on our favorite attractions one last time before returning to the resort.
Of course, when leaving the resort I have mixed feelings of happiness and a bit of envy for those walking into the lobby to check in.
The last day is so bitter sweet! I guess that I'll have to return and experience it all again!

[mouseketeer mom]

Magic Kingdom. I swear I try to transform myself into a sponge, drinking it all slowly in before we leave. There are always tears., but on a brighter note, there is always a promise, if not already a plan, to return. We always ride POTC last. Its a killer watching the folks at check in, or even worse, the happy people heading thru the airport on their way to magical express, as we are trudging the other way, back to catch the plane to NJ.

We always avoid parks on our last day and sleep in and spend the day at the pool relaxing after exhausting ourselves at the park for the week. I think it makes it a little bit easier to leave too.

However our last night in the parks is always MK. Got to see Wishes and Spectromagic one last time to last us to our next trip. We usually turn around and wave at the castle and say see you next time before we leave the park. Then of course the kids are planning the next trip on the ride back to the hotel!!

[kaliepooh]

Magic Kingdom is usually our first and last park. It is always truly heartbreaking to leave. I'm always very sad and tired, but I have to hide it because I don’t want the kids to see me crying. It’s bad enough that I’m dealing with my own melancholy I don’t want to transfer it to the kids. They handle these things a lot better than we do.

It's good to know that I'm not the only person feeling envious of the persons checking in or on their way to magic express when we are leaving. I usually start planning in my brain and discussing our next trip with the kids, this sometimes helps. The good thing is we are usually tired and sleep on our way back home. When we reach home there are usually a couple more days before school begins so we are usually busy trying to get ready for that.

Surprisingly its times like these that make me sad, reading threads like this one. We are hopefully on our way to see the mouse this August again and I'm already excited.
