Many many years ago, yes indeed, by now it is a long time ago, I have been working in Disney World in Florida. While the job itself was rather boring, I always enjoyed the daily parade called "Tapestry of Nations" and it was always a good break to do crowd control to get away form the boring routine in the shops where I was selling merchandise otherwise.

Sadly, it was not the time of digital cameras and camcorders back then, but slowly some people are even digitizing their old videos and put them online.

Of course these videos cannot really capture the whole atmosphere of the performances back then. But at least for those that have been working or performing there, they bring back a lot of memories and good moods.

Besides the parade, there was also big fireworks show called "Illuminations - Reflections of Earth". Since then each and every New Year's firework has been kinda spoiled for me.

Yesterday I found my old drivers license from Florida again, it expired a little earlier this year. I got it while I was working for Disney in Florida, but it was not my first US drivers license. My very first drivers license was obtained in Wisconsin, but I had to turn that one in when getting this one. On a side note: I still know my social security number which I used for some reason every once in a while there: 391-17-XXXX, but I still have not fully memorized my matriculation number from my university...
