This might sound like a girlie question to some of the alpha males on here but what places (if any) generated a lump in your throat?
For me (and prob running in 3rd place) would be Illuminations at Epcot. There was just something about the co-ordination of music and fireworks that spoke of a greater community and seemed to signal the 'click' in my head that this was what Disney was all about.
Second place would be the Imax film Magnificent Desolation at Kennedy Space Centre. I find that stuff fascinating and the part in the film where the astronaut talks about leaving a photo of his family on the moon along with the background music made a real connection.
The best one though was the Blue Horizons show at SeaWorld. It was the first show we'd seen at SeaWorld and I'd probably gone in a little moody at being under whelmed by Kraken and also the thoughts on performing animals etc.
All these thoughts were swept aside when the show started. There was a real beauty in the movements of the performers, the tricks of the dolphins and whales and a possibly sentimental but definitely heart tugging soundtrack.
I'm not afraid to say that as the finale built to a crescendo of music and spectacle I was truly moved and found myself welling up. I didn't cry but it really got to me and I felt ashamed that I'd entered the auditorium being a little moody.
It really was for me a magical and emotional show and my delight at it so overwhelming that I had to see another performance and even buy the CD soundtrack which I accidentally, but thankfully, stumbled across in the SeaWorld airport shop. Needless to say it was the best show that I saw in Florida.
