Hi Anthony,
The fact that you saw a large disk would indicate it was Jupiter. Stars will appear as near points of light. Did you also see perhaps 4 points of light in a line about Jupiter? These would be 4 of Jupiter's moons.
At this time of year, you can view the Great Orion Nebula, the Pleiades in Taurus, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud and the nearby globular cluster 47 Tucanae, the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Tarantula Nebula to name a few.
Regards, Rob.
