PassPorter Community Tip: A "Brit" Different Guidebook
PassPorter's Walt Disney World for British Holidaymakers is a "brit" different view of Walt Disney World for our UK friends by author/columnist Cheryl Pendry! This comprehensive, 260-page e-book covering every aspect of visiting Walt Disney World from the United Kingdom. It takes you through your entire visit, from the planning stages to working out the best way to get there and get around, with details about arriving in America, passports and immigration, duty-free allowances, driving in the States, and staying in touch while you're away!

Club Passholders get it now in the Reading Room. The e-book is also now on sale to the general public in the PassPorter Store.

Lunar Eclipse

Is anyone watching the Lunar Eclipse? Our a.m. weatherman was so excited this morning, and they even had some computer animations showing what a lunar eclipse is. So far it's gone from a slight smudge on the lower left edge to about 1/3 of the moon covered. Neat!

When we went to supper, the moon was huge- full and beautiful!
I went out just a bit ago and the moon is now a half moon!
The sky is is so clear - and of course it is sooooooooooo COLD out!
But it is definitely worth going outside to see!

Its about 9:30pm here and I am watching it now. Its about half covered. I remember a couple of solar eclipses when I was kid. they told you not to look directly at the sun and of course we would still sneak a peek anyway. I remember trying to watch thru exposed negatives.

One of the things the weather guys were raving about is that you can look directly at the lunar eclipse, while you need eye protection for the solar one. And we did the same thing - promise Mom and Dad that we wouldn't look directly at it, then do it anyway! I wonder if there are any kids who DIDN'T sneak a peak!?!

I remember when I was a little girl, my Dad made me this little box that I could watch the solar eclipse through.
