Something Special to see from your hotel on 5/15

[Virgo10]

There is a total eclipse of the moon that night. It begins just after 10 p.m. and is total at 11:14 p.m. As I'm sure most of you know, a lunar eclipse is safe to watch with no protection needed for your eyes. They also last much longer than the solar ones.

I'll be at the CSR and am going to try and get near the pyramid in a beach chair for an unforgetable view of one of natures nicest treats.

Not going to be at WDW? It is total in most of the eastern part of the USA. Here's a link with a bunch of info.

Hey, maybe I'll see you there! I'll be the tall woman with the blond curly hair with the binoculars. LOL! I haven't been to CSR in a couple of years so I'm not really sure of the layout of the place. I'm going to try and find a spot where the pyramid is in front of me and the moon is over it. Besides having the binoculars, I'll have my camera and will be taking a lot of pictures.

I am going to try and make it up to when it's total. Being an early riser, any time after 11 p.m. is pretty much after my bedtime. Let's hope we have a cloudless night.

Don't be shy. Come over and introduce yourself!

Anyone else who is at CSR, come on down!

I too will be at CSR on 5/15 (my countdown is wrong)...we will be at Epcot for Illuminations, but will try to get back in time for eclipse viewing!

Thanks for the input. I'm adding that to our itinerary. We'll be checking in that day at Poly/conceirge. We have a lagoon view and will be hopefully able to see from our balcony. If not, we'll head on over to the beach and catch it in a hammock!

P.S. It looks like a lot of us checking in that day at various hotels! Awesome!!!

 

[luvindisneyworld]

We will be there too.we are staying at VWL.thanks for the info.

 

[meiandrew]

CBR !!

 

[2disneyagain]

We wont be there then So if anyone has any pictures can u post them please?

 

[disneydolphin2]

We will have arrived on the 10th and although we were planning on Fantasmic the night of the eclipse , would love to catch the eclipse too.
Anyone got any tips on where the best place to view it?

We are staying in the ASMovies but have a free-ish night that night

You can watch the eclipse from anywhere with an unobstucted view of the moon. From what I've read, the moon will be pretty far up in the sky so viewing this event shouldn't be a problem. I want to watch it from a place with a good back drop. I hope to have the CSR pyramid in my pictures for a nice effect.

Don't forget that this eclipse can be seen in totality on the entire east coast. Other parts of the country and world will be able to see a partial eclipse.
