New runDisney Medals Revealed

April 15, 2014 | Disney, runDisney, running

Hey everyone, first of all thank you so much for your kind words yesterday about my grandmother. My dad met with the social worker yesterday afternoon, and she was moved to Hospice by ambulance yesterday evening. Please keep praying especially for my mom and dad as they have to handle all of this.

On a happier note, you may have noticed runDisney released two new medals in the past couple of days, and they are so pretty! Not only that, they spin! I have become obsessed with spinner medals ever since my 2013 marathon weekend medal was put around my neck. It’s still my favorite! Can I just say how bummed I am to be missing out, particularly on Wine and Dine? I’m guessing this is just one of many sacrifices I will be making for my children Smile I love the colors and designs for both medals. The creative minds behind these designs just keep impressing me every time!

First up, the Wine and Dine 5th Anniversary medal. I LOVE the color!

Next, the 10 year Goofy design.

Obsessed with both. Too bad I swore off full marathons for a long time. Heh.

Sadly it’s too late to register for Wine and Dine, but, you can sign up to get your very own shiny new Goofy medal when registration opens! Folks, anniversary years sell out FAST so DO NOT wait around if you want to take part. Registration opens April 22, but if you are an annual passholder or DVC member, you can register THIS WEDNESDAY, April 16th. You can go to runDisney.com for more information and to sign up when registration opens.

QOTD: Did you/will you sign up for these? Thoughts on the medals? Do you like ones that spin?

    My attention span doesn’t stand a chance with spinner medals. I keep saying the Tink medal is the triple threat: it’s shiny, it has glitter and it spins.

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:39 am

      true!

    I am already signed up for Wine & Dine and will be signing up for Dopey 2015 so I’ll be getting both these gorgeous medals! I am SO excited!

      Jealous! Have fun!

    So excited to run my first Wine and Dine and have that shiny medal around my neck!

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:38 am

      you will love it!

    Love that Goofy medal! I’ll be at Wine & Dine. Will miss you!!

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:41 am

      I’m so sad!

    I love those medals! I just wish they did cool ones like that for 5ks! ;p

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:43 am

      i’m kind of glad they don’t, the 5k already costs over $60 with the rubber medal, I’m sure it would be way more with a cool medal, yikes! But I get your point 🙂

    Love the spinner medals! My 20th anniversary Marathon one is my favorite too! I’m not running Wine and Dine or Marathon weekend this time. I’m running Princess Weekend instead. My budget only allows me one runDisney race a year lol!

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:44 am

      I love princess!

    I guess my recent glut of Disney medals has been content that I won’t be getting either of these. I do love my Mickey Marathon medal from 2013 that spins! The medal I covet at the moment is the Boston Marathon medal that I hope to receive in 2015. I just need to stay healthy since my qualifying time should give me a spot in the field of runners.

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:44 am

      You are a beast, I hope you go to Boston!

    You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if you need ANYTHING. I’m just down the road.

    I saw the Goofy medal yesterday. *drool* Ugh. It is SOOO cool.

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:45 am

      thanks friend

    I keep missing the anniversary years! Missed the 20th aniversary medal by one year and now will miss the Goofy medal by one year. Sobs… : ( Couldn’t sign up for W&D this year either.

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:44 am

      bummer!

    my wine and dine medal from when i ran pregnant is one of my favorite medals of all time. disney always does such a great job with them!

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:45 am

      yes they do!

    The Mickey 20 medal from last year is also one of my favorites! Love the spinning action and the details in the design. I don’t have plans for W&D or Goofy coming up, but am looking forward to earning another Mickey in 2015 (and hopefully C2C too…)

    • Heather says

      April 16, 2014 at 8:45 am

      love coast to coast!

Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins at Val Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins  at Valley Bear Farms felt like stepping into a real-life Pinterest board 🤍 (ad)

These architectural gems mix rustic charm with modern design—think soaring wood ceilings, giant picture windows, and a dreamy soaker tub that makes you never want to leave. 😍

We even brought our dogs along (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) and watched deer wander by through the trees. 🐾 

Valley Bear Farms is tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by peaceful forest views and plenty to explore. The property has hiking trails, a cozy general store, and other on-site amenities that make it feel like a little mountain village all its own. ⛰️ 

If you’re craving a nature-filled, beautifully designed getaway where you can truly unwind, these A-Frame cabins are it.👍🏻

Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ The Cosmo Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ 

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 
There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
