"Why dont they drap a huge solar film stuff over castle court yard court yard"
"Oh, it getting dark, is the truman show dome setting, ao they have a morning MNSHP"
"So when the fire works"
"Are they going to charge me for an extra day on my MB"

Perfect. That should coincide with the grand openings of Tron at MK and GotG at Epcot!

I happen to live in Mcclellanville SC pop 500 its one of the last towns in the US where you will be able to see the eclipse. Just went to the local post office and their doing special eclipse stamps and cancelled envelopes. The influx of people is incredible road through the town(blink and you miss it) feel like I'm in WDW so many people, just amazing. Those in WDW have a great day and enjoy the eclipse

We just watched it up here on Long Island with special glasses. Cool to see. My neighbor just thought a cloud passed over the sun briefly.

Just watched the peak from Orlando. Still mighty bright out. Not sure why Disney planned the way they did... Nothing would have needed nighttime lighting... Closing Tom Sawyer would also be unnecessary.
Attached a pic of the eclipse at peak of my hand-based pinhole camera's shadow. You can see how bright the ground still was

Just watched it here in Mcclellanville SC lucked out cloud cover all around except right here, storms in the distance. Total eclipse was very impessive. Thunder storm rolled in after it was over

I agree - I was near downtown Orlando today, and it only got slightly darker outside (as if you were wearing sunglasses). I wonder if they opted to keep the DAK trails open at least?

I dont see why this was needed. I am in northern IL, and we had 87% obstruction of the sun, and barely noticed a difference between that and a cloudy day. Heck, I was driving with my sun glasses on. As best as I can tell, Orlando was at about the same amount.

I tried. It was cloudy for most, and it never got as dark as I expected. I could photograph the sun, with my filter, but the castle was too dark.

So much for closing do to low light.
Next total solar eclipse in US is April 8, 2024...but it won't be an across the US path like today's.

Was in the path of totality here. Lasted for not quite two minutes. It got dark (not nighttime dark, but dark), though the coolest part was the sun being completely covered. Looked crazy.
Cool pics!
