When the Crispy M&Ms were a thing, I ate nothing BUT those when it came to candy.

Those were my favorite too.

My daughter loves candy canes.

I don't even like candy canes, too much peppermint!

I miss obsessively going over and over my Disney itinerary for weeks before the trip.

I will be definitely doing that next month. Gotta assign my fastpasses.

So excited for you. How long is your holiday trip?

we're going for a bit more than 9 nights. the extra days dont count as they are for flying.

We're leaving on the 30th to sleep at POR one night, then moving to the Old Key West DVC complex for 6 days at Disney.. then moving to universal for 3 days.

The last few trips of mine have been very spontaneous. That is really fun in itself, the adrenaline pumps, quick packing and gathering, it is a hoot but still I sometimes crave the anticipation factor.

For many years our long trips of a couple weeks were planned in April and generally were in September or October, long before mymagic. We'd quiz the kids on how many more days or as it got closer how many hours and then how many more minutes. We'd spend our Saturday night at my favorite pizza place and during the planning phase we'd bring along our Birnbaum book 'cause back in the late 80's and 90's expansion was rapid and with God speed. Always something or somethings majorly new to get excited about. We'd have our kids pick the first park (always the MK back then) and their first attractions, they'd get to pick. And back ups at Epcot in case of rain. Those days Future World was vibrant.

So while spontaneous is exciting planning can be magical too.

sadly, you cant be that spontaneous anymore.
The huge crowds + fixed fastpasses with huge lines.. means you have to meticulously plan what are a must do.. and give priorities.

OMG!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Disney days for us August 1-14!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I say YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh cool!!!! How exciting!! As long as our flights don't mess it up (we have to book flights yet, but I was told Disney won't charge for changing dates as long as the price stays the same) we will have to get together! It shouldn't change more than a day or 2 anyway, so we'd most likely still be there for a couple of the same days, even if we can't get flights on the exact days we want.

A week later this photo is still making me pleased with humanity. Many have a tainted view of Chicago and Chicagoan's but many have amazing souls.

Seeing this today brought tears to my eyes! Compassion has NOT gone out of style.

Today I made a quick stop at McDonald's after work. As I waited in line to order, an elderly handicapped gentleman wheeled himself over to the cashier in front of me. From what I perceived, the gentleman may have had a case of quadriplegia, the same medical condition my uncle has.

The man politely tried to ask the cashier something and it took him a few tries before either of us could understand he was saying "Help me please". Neither of us knew what help he needed, and the cashier suggested a few things before he figured out the gentleman needed help cutting and eating his meal.

To be honest, I thought the cashier wasn't going to help, especially during rush hour in downtown Chicago, but to my shock, he shut down his register and disappeared from view....

Not to get away from helping him, but to wash his hands and put gloves on! I had to stick around and see how this would play out, especially since it hit me so close to home with my own uncle.

The cashier came out from the kitchen, sat down, and began cutting the man's meal and helped him eat.

At that point, the tears started to gather in my eyes. My heart was so appreciative for what he did. I couldn't contain my emotions in the crowded restaurant.

This employee, who put everything on hold for this man, went above and beyond his responsibilties to help this handicapped customer out. That was the kindest and most humble thing I had ever seen.

How many shares and likes can Kenny the cashier get for his awesome service for those in need?

I am so glad this went viral. Otherwise I fear that cashier would have been written up or lost their job, because they left the register during a rush.
