The conjunction of the moon, Jupiter and Venus was beautiful. We all got a chance to have a good look at them before the clouds set in. Even the bright lights of Disney’s Hollywood Studios didn’t spoil our view. Here’s a photo taken from the parking lot, under a street light, resting the camera on someone’s van! (Venus is below the moon and Jupiter is at a right angle to the right from Venus.)
The moon will begin to rise higher into the sky but Jupiter and Venus will stay reasonably close for a few more days.
We made our way from HStudios to EPCOT. We thought we’d take in the “Candlelight Procession” and Christmas reading at EPCOT. Neal Patrick Harris was the guest reader but the line prohibited us from getting in to see it. Back we went to HS! We planned to see the Osborn/Sylvania 5+million Christmas lights set up on all the building of the “Downtown America area of Hollywood Studios.” WOW! “Snow” streaming off the building tops, Christmas music and every so often they would play an upbeat (loud) rendition of a Christmas song and the lights would “dance” to the music! It’s a must see. The lights will be there till after the holidays.
It seems so strange, everything says Christmas, but having the sun, mild temps and no heavy outer clothing certainly doesn’t say New England!
Till next time!
