Fort Sumter & Wormsloe

We made another quick trip to Charleston this week. While we were there, I took the ferry from downtown out to Fort Sumter to look around. Fort Sumter is where the Civil War started in 1861, with South Carolina troops taking the fort from Union soldiers.  

It takes a couple of hours to ferry back and forth across the harbor and walk around the fort, but it's definitely worth it for someone interested in history.

On the way home today we stopped at the Wormsloe State Historic Site outside Savannah. The history of this former plantation was interesting, but we also we enjoyed walking around the grounds.

Harmonius

As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, Disney premiered two new fireworks shows, Enchantment in Magic Kingdom and Harmonius in Epcot. Last night Susan and I attended a special showing of Harmonious for Epcot cast members. We got to view the fireworks from a front and center spot, and even got some free snacks. 

I didn't get into the parks much in October. Disney reopened the Sassagoula boats at Disney Springs, and a lot of cast members from the Friendship Boats were reassigned there, meaning those left behind worked a lot of hours. In Epcot, work continued in the middle of Future World.

As well as on the new Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster.
