Our Solar Eclipse TOTALITY Experience in Grapevine, TX 2024! Meow Wolf & First Total Solar Eclipse! 

This was the most super enthused moment I've ever seen! Thank you for capturing this incredible phenomenon so perfectly for us all

I am so glad I found this video. I stayed at the same hotel and watched the eclipse from the front of the hotel along with most of the hotel staff! I could see the pool and may have seen you watching!. As an astronomy enthusiast I planned on seeing this eclipse my whole life, and was really concerned about the cloud cover. But, when the sky cleared a few minutes before totality and stayed clear through totality I was very happy! There were mini eclipses on the ground shining through the leaves of the trees, and yes, the birds flew to the top of the trees and decided to take a nap. The street lights came on. It was surreal. The "star" to the right of the sun was Venus, and to the left Jupiter. Viewing these planets added to the experience. Then, after the eclipse, on the ride back to the airport, the skies really cleared! So, we were very lucky to get the clearing just before and after totality!

Beautiful! Those stars were planets! 🪐

What’s really cool is that you can see the eclipse very well in the lens flares even when you can’t see it through the clouds. Refraction is crazy.

Literal goosebumps! I watched our measly 47% from Broward, but watching an eclipse from the path of totality is bucket list for sure! Thanks for sharing this Jackie. And the next American total eclipse will have a lot of Florida in the path!

Was so cool to experience this again through another person's viewpoint. We were able to experience as a family here in Indiana. My wife was like Sam, not understanding what Totality would be like. We were in Awe of God's creation. Amazing!!

So happy that you got to experience Totality. I saw it in 2017 and it’s life changing. It made me feel insignificantly small in such an amazing universe. Nothing will ever come close to experiencing that again 🌑

Welcome to Texas! I'm in Dallas right next to Grapevine and I had to work, but I still got to see it outside my downtown office! So glad you came this way to experience it! You'll have to come back our way when the Universal resort opens in Frisco!

Great job! Way better than the annoying TV coverage I watched.

Everyone needs to experience a total solar eclipse, it was so amazing seeing it in Round Rock for my sons 10th birthday and watching this brings back all the excitement we felt watching the eclipse 🥰

At 25:15 in the background you can literally see the Moon’s shadow rushing at them. I watched this from Ohio and it was every bit as spectacular as advertised. I’m glad you got to see it too!!!

You got MOONED!🌑

Im in the UK and I was telling my boys about the total eclipse that happened in 1999. Distinctly remember it going dark and cold and the birds fell silent. What a great experience you two had! So glad it was well worth it 😊

We enjoyed 3 minutes of totality in ATX. So cool! 😎 Glad you guys got to experience it as well in Grapevine.

I know the eclipse was the main event, but that house was crazy! Thanks for the video.

I am glad that you two made the trip for this wonderful experience. One of my friends and her husband came so they could have a chance to see people here but, also for the Eclipse. Our own personal moment with it was very peacefully spiritual and I ended up honoring it with our dog and cat who responded to it strange ways.

It was amazing best experience we ever witnessed

I am so glad you got to experience this and share with us. I went from my home in Kentucky to an hour away into Indiana and saw the totality. I was with a lot of people, and we all started cheering! It was so awesome, and I will never forget it.

Your joy during the eclipse is unmatched. It was so real and touching. Love is video!

What an epic video. Loved both of your enthusiasm, it came across so well and you got some amazing shots for those of us that never got to watch the eclipse at all.

Awesome !

We drove from VA to Erie, PA to be in the path of totality. It ended up being totally cloudy there, so we drove south to OH. We actually stopped at a rest area on the highway (along with a bunch of other people) and had a wonderful view. It was definitely worth the drive. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. We had almost 4 minutes of totality where we were. My daughter is already planning our trip to Orlando in 20 years to see another one! You should do a Super Enthused meet up for that one.

I just love how excited you both were in the video! Glad you were here in Texas to take part in the Eclipse. Happy Travels!!!

a wonderful day xx

I was excited to see it but I never realized how moved I would be by it. Truly a peaceful and spiritual experience!

Oh, and I also wanted to thank you for making other content. Other than the amusement parks America has so much more to see, and I’m so happy that you are sharing the other parts with us.

This was my second total solar eclipse. I love seeing other people’s reaction. It is truly awe-inspiring. Glad you guys got to see it.

Amazing!

I live in Flower Mound, Tx - which neighbors Grapevine where you were watching. It was very epic. We found an open field/hill to sit on and everyone was clapping. When it got totally dark, I was amazed by the lights automatically turning on. I'm so glad you got to see it. Hope you made it to downtown Grapevine while you were here.

Radical!!!

I have been anticipating this video!!

This is such an awesome stop on your cross-country trip!! The Real Unreal exhibit looks absolutely amazing! I would love to go there!! Also, seeing your view of the Total Eclipse is insane!

Thanks Jackie and Sam!!! Good job!!!!

That was crescent fresh!

Jackie, it was so awesome to see the eclipse! Your complete awe and excitement over this incredible celestial event was truly amazing! Things turned out so perfectly for you and Sam! That was an excellent decision to go to the pool of your hotel. It gave you a clear view of the sky and not a lot of other people around. It was perfect timing that the clouds parted at just the right moment, yet were there to make it possible to see with your camera. So glad you both properly used your Eclipse glasses, you are absolutely correct, severe and permanent eye damage can occur if one looks directly at the sun during an eclipse. This was a truly Awesome Adventure and a unique experience! Stay safe on your travels and I look forward to seeing the rest of your journey! 👋

I went to grapevine from vegas just to see the eclipse and Also went to meow wolf. We shared a weekend trip.

Awesome❤

Thank you for that amazing experience. So glad you two managed to get to my state! We are north west of Dallas area, so we were not in path of totality. It got a bit darker here but not like you all were experiencing. I'm thrilled to experience this through your eyes...it was spectacular. At 73, I don't think I will have many more of these chances. so I am thankful for your video. Enjoy the rest of your trip and be safe! Wave at me if you go through Chillicothe, TX.

This is exactly what I experienced in Dallas! My expectations were low because I was looking at the weather for the past week and it was nothing but clouds and a chance of rain, so when I flew to Dallas I was a bit disappointed by all the clouds.......then suddenly, the clouds partied and the skies cleared the moment totality happened! I'm still speechless!

I remember that one in 1999. VH1 played total eclipse of the heart on repeat all day! 😱 Ah the memories 🤣

Jackie Great travel stream. Thank You for sharing.

It was so great seeing your enthusiasm over the total eclipse! We saw it locally here in Ohio and were equally enthralled. First 2017, now 2024 for us. Have a great trip!

Awe yay weclome to TX! I live so close to Grapevine! :) So glad you guys got to enjoy it!

Super Enthused, This is great! Let's be friends and have fun together!

So cool that you went to Texas for this. Adventurous!

So cool thanks for sharing. We had 94% partial in CT and it fed got darker. So cool to see full on darkness. It got cooler here too! Enjoy trip. Can’t wait to see more

That was amazing !

Been waiting for this one. Great video Jackie.

I'm glad you guys were able to see the Eclipse. In South FL we only got partial coverage. Have to wait for 2045.

Idk if you guys noticed but when it got to half, we could no longer feel the heat of the sun!! It was such a crazy feeling! When it started reversing, we could slowly feel the warmth again!

I'm so glad the clouds parted for you! I was in totality, too, and it really was one of the coolest things I've ever seen with my own eyes. Just awesome, literally!

The total eclipse was awesome. I was in Ohio, It was my fourth total eclipse of the Sun In totality. 70,72,17,24, and thinking of Egypt and 27. Great video

Very cool. 👍👏🙏

It really was one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to witness in my life. It was such a cool experience. Sitting here with my son and watching that it was amazing. 🌕🌙🌑

What a wonderful moment and memory. It was surreal when the skies went dark 😮 🌒

It really was cool

Love the video

Sam said the sky during the eclipse looked like the tv show Hero. I totally loved that tv series! Here in St Louis area, we had a 98 percent eclipse. I saw it with 3 pairs of sunglasses while looking at it in a windshield screen. But the sky got fairly dark and it cooled down quite a lot too.

Wow! Yay! It’s Jackie and Sam! 👸🏼🤴🏻 What a great video! Well done Jackie! Total Eclipse complete! 🌖🎉🥳

I'm so glad yall got to see it. Even though you told me right after that it was a success, while the clouds were still there in the vid, I'm yelling at my screen for the clouds to bloody MOVE! LOL. This was the 2nd one for us and it was just as amazing, but the 2017 one, being my first, I got emotional a little bit. If you happen to see my coverage, we were on a very quiet spot, and you could hear the crickets chirping when totality happened.

Thank you so much Jackie & Sam 😊. We watched the eclipse on the NASA channel (at home in England) and yours was by far the best coverage x❤x

Loved seeing your great coverage of your Solar Eclipse experience! You guys are having the best time and looking forward to seeing where you guys end up!!

Jackie, you actually made me snort laugh when you said you think you burnt a hole in your retina.

I live in Buffalo NY....we had totality as well...truely the most amazing thing i have ever experienced !!! So i share your enthusiasm!!i

I live just west of Cleveland Ohio (North Ridgeville) & we had 100 % totality & the sky was clear & it was awesome!!! I watched from my driveway. It got so dark very quickly...it was amazing. There is a Bible verse that summed it up - The heavens declare the glory of the LORD.

I saw 1999's solar eclipse in London, and your reaction completely mirrored mine, an unbelievable sight to see something we're so used to, change entirely! Well done on taking all the precautions, tho Sam's a proper amber gambler! Safe travels!

Great Video- just loved every second.

Well done and nobody went blind!

Great video, I especially enjoyed your personal reactions. thanks.

Thank you so much. Great video. ❤

We experienced a total here in Dayton Ohio. Most awesome thing I've seen in my 68 years. Thanks for sharing and we felt the same!

We saw totality a few years ago here in Kentucky! So excited you all got to experience it! Your "enthusiasm" was contagious!!

I am fully convinced Meow Wolf should design the long-delayed EPCOT Play! Pavillion.

Amazing thank you for your vlogs 😊 ❤❤

I saw it in SC in 2017 it an experience even 80% this time was something to experience. Those were planets you saw.

So glad you didn't miss it! We had totality at home. In indiana. Such a wonderful experience.

I saw it in PA and the clouds cooperated! I love that you captured the bird night songs

well done Jackie! that was very cool.

Prolly the coolest thing Ive seen here in Ohio we also had total totality! I didn't think much of it until it happened and it was so freaking cool!!

Incredible you guys ❤❤

Brilliant vlogg, such a great experience for both of you. I loved how excited you were getting

I saw it in 2017 and in Ohio. We were worried too because it was so cloudy! The wisps of clouds going by was so cool. The total darkness was incredibly beautiful over lake erie. My kids were so excited. The best roadtrip ever

Amazing video❤

WOW thank you great video

love this! looks like you guys are having tons of fun on this trip

Thank you for sharing your experience. Wow In NJ we had 80% and we saw just a sliver left of the sun. The sky was strange but did not get dark. What a great experience.🌖🌚🌔

We got so lucky in grapevine. The clouds parted in time.

Great video! Loved it! 🥰

What a wonderful fun drink! Nice and festive. This was a great video on the Eclipse!

nice eclipse vlog awsome content

We watched this after return home from watching the Totality from Maumee Bay State Park in Ohio. We were so nervous for you guys when it looked like the clouds might block it out! It is such an amazing thing to see. We were very happy for you guys we enjoyed our experience so much!

I was also in the path of totality and it was just something amazing. I can’t describe what it was like

The video makes it look small but it was indeed a huge sight to behold.

Wow that is amazing! You could even see a couple of stars!!

What a bizarre place! (Meow Wolf) We only had 40% coverage of the sun here on the central Calif. coast so it only got a little darker here, but I did watch the eclipse on TV coverage, what an amazing thing! Thank you and glad you guys got to experience it in person!! Love to you both.

This was so good! I teared up! Thank you for sharing

At 28.08 !! See the face in the clouds???????? WOW! Scary 😱

I can't believe it, my wife and I drove down from Oklahoma City to see the eclipse and we were at Grapevine Mills, too! We didn't know Meow Wolf was having a thing, or we would have gone. It would have been great to meet both of you. I'm so glad the clouds cooperated.

Wow you captured the eclipse perfectly 😮
