Disneyland

The night view from Cinderella’s castle. Do you leave right after the Tokyo Disneyland Electric Parade and fireworks? When I’m there, I always stay till the park closes.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, earth and moon are in alignment, with the earth blocking the sunlight from reaching the moon.
