** Even sadder is when remnants of the attraction are left, either as tributes to the past (like the Mine Train thru Nature's Wonderland) or because Disney was too cheap to remove it (like the [=PeopleMover=]/Rocket Rods, Motor Boat Cruise, and Submarine Voyage prior to the beginning of construction of the ''Finding Nemo'' version, which is still running).

** As of 2016 due to Disney having to make cuts to the Disney Theme Parks in order to focus in Shanghai Disney Resort. Disney just recently announced that Lady Tremaine will become a retired character at least in Walt Disney World. This caused some Disney World fans to become pretty sad hearing the news.

* The Partners statue in the [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Magic Kingdom]] - the one with Walt and Mickey holding hands. Especially for those who still see Walt as Mickey's father.
* Just walking through the train station gate into the park sets a lot of people off. Many of them have been saving up their whole lives to be able to come to Disneyland/Walt Disney World and the realization that they finally made it just hits them.
** Seeing the Castle will do it too, a lot of the time.
* The Characters. While some people may not like them, there is absolutely nothing more adorable than watching a four-year-old go up to Mickey - or Minnie, or Tigger, or their favorite Princess - for the first time and watching their face light up. The real Tear Jerkers, though, come when you watch kids on the Make a Wish program light up, because you know that it very well could be the last time they'll ever see the Characters, and many of the Make a Wish kids only have a limited time to live. Just seeing small children run up to their characters in delight makes me want to go, "Awwwwww". The only thing that ruins the whole moment is the moms that constantly want to take pictures of their kids. Even the older kids that are at least twelve years old running up to the characters is relieving, especially since they're a kid at heart. Though most people their age are preoccupied with more tween-related things, the ones that actually care for Disney make many a troper want to cry.
* On the Kilimanjaro Safari ride at Animal Kingdom you chase down poachers that have captured Little Red, a baby elephant, after shooting Big Red, the mother. Unfortuntately, the ride is often unclear as to whether Big Red survived. I think so, but jeez...
** [[WordofGod Word of God]] says she does, if that makes you feel better. It's in the radio broadcast at the end. Still, just the idea of the baby elephant, who can't survive away from Mommy, being forced away like that...
** According to Disney insider Jim Hill, in the original script Big Red didn't make it, and the riders saw her (simulated, of course) corpse in the climactic stretch of the ride. This drove so many kids to tears that it ruined the whole ride, so the script was changed and the prop removed before it formally opened. So it could have been a ''lot'' worse.
* For the bad kind of Tearjerker, leaving the Magic Kingdom, your favourite place on Earth, on the Ferry, seeing the castle all lit up and beautiful, and knowing that it's the last time you're going to see it.
* Most Disneyphiles know all too well about getting more than lumps in their throats going home from a vacation from the parks or disembarking off a Disney Cruise Line ship.
** Make that extra depressing if you ride on the Disney Magical Express on the way to the MCO (Orlando International Airport). That's especially true seeing the end of the onboard video.
* The end of ''Fantasmic!'' Just seeing Mickey steering the Mark Twain and knowing that, in Disneyland, good always conquers evil...
* The finales of Spectromagic and Wishes. They're just such a wonderful sight to see and it stays true to the Disney magic. Illuminations: Reflections of Earth always does it too during the We Go On finale.

For instance, just ''try'' to look at the pictures of ''Horizons'' getting torn down and not get emotional.
