(That's French for "This is not a post - I swear.")
Twenty years ago - today :) - and just outside of Paris, France, I helped open EuroDisney.

How cute is that? Just gorgeous!
I used to work for Disney!!!! LOVED it :)
And I've been to EuroDisney. You've done a fine job with it ;)
You helped open EuroDisney; that is soooo cool!!! Like, beyond words :)
And I would have kept that stuff too, nothing to be ashamed of!!!
ELMO!!! :D He's glomping the tree!
I worked in a restaurant in college and we had the greatest team of dancing closers/ cleaners...you remind me of them. :)
That's cool, Mark. You made me smile. Thanks for sharing. :)
You totally rock, Mark! I'm putting you up on a pedestal from now on...what am I saying? Disney + Mark ROCKS! :)
I can't stop laughing!!! That second picture totally looks like a wedgie will commence in three... two... YOINK!
LOL! Look at you and your baby pics! I love it!
And I've always wanted to know what a home in Hawaii looks like... You have blinds, couches, and walls! (Wasn't sure if you lived in huts or something) :P
And Elmo is TOTALLY cracking me up!!!!! Seriously so fun, Marky Mark!
I had no idea that is what "bonjour" meant! Thanks for sharing the fun photos.
Wow, that is quite an accomplishment! Not many people can say they did that.
SIGGY! You're a doll!
So this is where you developed your superhero status. You ROCK the fuschia, my sweet!
@ Escape Artist:) Thanks, some things have to be remembered:)
@ Kelley Lynn: Pheww, it was a *busy* day, glad you had fun there:)
@ Bonnee: Elmo is a Spam, er I mean a fan favorite in our house :)
@ Elizabeth: Ahhh, those jobs we had when we were younger :)
@ Linda: Hey, thank *you* for taking the time to comment :)
@ Jack: Too funny, man... be careful, the pedestal will crack and break, I'll fall and The Mouse will be crushed in the rubble :)
@ Cassie: Seriously.. don't you know that undergarments were optional in France - especially for those of us wearing Pink Shirts :)
@ Morgan: Oh my, if these are my "baby pics" there isn't a wallet strong enough to hold them:)
PS... I rented this room for a day. Now back in shack :)
PPS... Elmo was hungry... what can I say... that I put him in the tree last week and forgot?
@ Lara: Merci, and I'm glad to be sharing my love of the French language... au revoir :)
@ Alex: Thanks, Alex... only about 12,000 of us, but that'a what makes it soooo much fun :)
FB is going nuts today, as you could imagine :)
@ Scarlett: Shhhhh, don't tell anyone :)
Haha - that's so fun! What a great bunch of memories you must have made.

Very cool that you still have the shirt! My sister loves visiting the Happiest Place on Earth. She just returned from the Hong Kong parks and I received a fun package today with gifts.
Ha! And you haven't changed a bit! You know, I live in Europe, been to France on a number of occasions...but never been to EuroDisney. How sad is that!
love the pics! Looks like that was a lot of fun :)
Disneyland! I went a couple years later, when I was 5 and was scared of pretty much everything. And then I went back older and l o v e d it :D

That is aaawesome!!! Cool post!! Nice blog too!! Keep up the good work!! You are invited to check out or follow my blog anytime!! Have a great day!!!
How much fun that must have been. And oh the memories! Glad I found you on the A to Z list, Mark. I've been trolling for days!!
That is so wrong its right...lol. Funny stuff Mark..
Never made it to Disneyland, Paris, even though it's nearer home than the sites on the American mainland! The kids are grown and gone, so I guess we'll have to wait until the next generation arrives... ;-p
Just dropped by on the blog-hop - happy A-Z'ing!
SueH I refuse to go quietly!
Eurodisney you say? That must have been a pretty awesome experience!
That's pretty amazing. That'd be gutting if you didn't keep the gear! :)
That's just awesome!
Another awesome surprise! You're full of them, Mark. But that's what makes you so full of awesome sauce! :)
"Back in your shack" <----LOL! Yes, delayed, but came back to read the rest of your comments.
You know, I'm starting to get the shakes with you only posting once a week. It isn't enough! ;)
Hope you're rockin' that WIP.
That's so cool and I think it is awesome that you still have the memorabilia. I never made it Euro Disney. Didn't is close? I can't remember.
you look like you are a fun person!!
That is so awesome! :D
Brilliant!
Working for Disney must have been awesome Mark. New follower thanks to Alex
