Mark Wenzel
        A Disneyland Scrapbook
        bar


        One of the highlights of Mark's career was performing at Disneyland for seven years. Many fans will remember him as a fixture in New Orleans Square, always ready to help celebrate a special event or even answer a question or provide directions - all done without saying a word, of course.

        Mark's character name, "Lagniappe" (pronounced Lan-yap), is a Cajun word that translates roughly as, "a little more," or "something extra," as in the thirteenth doughnut of a baker's dozen.

        New Orleans Square is the perfect place to celebrate a birthday party, an anniversary, engagement or family reunion, and with Mark's special touch, everyone got a little something extra.


        Mark is featured in the commemorative book,
        "Disneyland - 45 Years of Magic."

        Mark thanks all the guests and fellow cast members who helped make his time at the park so memorable.

        Sometimes Mark would wander backstage in New Orleans Square and the other attractions. He would boldly go
        where no mime has gone before. Can you identify the attraction in each of these photos?
