full Moon????

[Jabarr]

Does anyone here ever plan a trip around a full moon? I always try to do this as it makes WDW even more magical!! My next trip(Nov 27-Dec 5) it will be full, nothing like a full moon over 7-seas lagoon!! Lets hear your stories I know you all have one or two!!!!! :lookaroun

We can't really plan our trips around a full moon, but this past summer, our trip corresponded to one. I think it may have been a blue moon. I just remember standing in Adventureland and looking up at it for a few minutes with my parents and grandparents. It was beautiful, and being at WDW somehow just made it so much better.

I was at Disney once for a Lunar Eclispe, it was AWSOME! I remember riding to the top of barnstormer to get a good view of the moon!

Oooh, now I have to check and see if it corresponds this trip !

Nothing like a big, fat, infamous Florida downpour to cover up what would have been a lovely full moon... :lookaroun

Well, the lunar eclipse has passed, and none of the parks were open that late yesterday. Was it really cloudy last night at WDW cause it was down here.

I tried watching the lunar eclipse last night - great way to finish the famous October moons! I saw half of it and then it got cloudy. Later on, around 12:30pm, I was awaken by the brightness of it! I woke up seriously thinking it was time to go to work! Then I realized it was almost 1am! I swear, the night was so clear!

Not to wdw, but I was in the Falls of Iguazú in Argentina last year for a full moon, and during 4 nights around the full moon, they have this amazing walking tour around the national park and to the biggest fall, 'Garganta del Diablo' (Devil´s throat). It was AMAZING and I highly reccomend it if you are ever around that place

After that trip, I try to check if there is a full moon while I´m travelling - watching it from the plane is also beautiful!

We have been fortunate enough to be at the beach for a couple of full moons during late summer. This is when the sea turtle eggs hatch! We've also watched a mother crawl out of the surf to lay her eggs. You have to be very, very careful, as any noise, light, etc. will disturb them, and they might leave.

It goes without saying that unless you're part of the turtle patrol you're not allowed to touch them.

It was actually pretty clear the other night here and I got a great video of the eclipse. I sat out and videotaped about 10 minutes of it and got THE coolest thing on it. I was watching planes from O'Hare and Midway fly over and following them with the camera and got one plane about 20,000-30,000 feet up fly right into the light of the moon. It looks really cool on pause. Getting a shot like that and lightning have been two of my goals in photography, now I've got one done! :sohappy:

Now, on topic, I've been at WDW during a full moon but didn't take any pictures, just spent a lot of time watching it.

Standing at the old 20k Leagues site one night with the Moon being full was just Awsome! It is something I will never forget, with the light shining off the water. It was very Magical and gave me goose bumps!!

Did MNSSHP with the parental units last night, during the full moon. It was quite nice but I don't think I managed to get any shots of it in my night-time photos.

You gave me a great idea!!! I had never thought of planning a trip around a full moon, but you're right, that would make it more magical. Thanks again!

I just found this website http://www.almanac.com/astronomy/moondays.php It shows the dates of full moons for the next couple years. I was curious to see my next trip in early June would correspond to a full moon. Sadly, it does not, but I am sure it will be a great trip anyway.

 

[The Mom]

I'll be at WDW for the next full moon! :sohappy: (Actually, the night before, but close enough. )

 

[Jabarr]

I am so glad you all have shared your thoughts and stories about this. If you ever get to go to WDW when there is a Full Moon you will never forget it!!!

 

[Jabarr]

Any new stories to report about WDW and a full moon? I was there in Dec. for the full moon and it was truly a trip that was even more magical!!
Hope everyone is haveing a great 2005 and enjoy the celebration of Disneyland!!:sohappy:
