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

      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

      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

    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

    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

      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!

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica

🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr 🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🥹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. 💖

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! 🏖️ 

Have you taken a multigenerational vacation? Where did you go?

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. 🧀 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. 🛳✨

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨
