Maybe pic and story behind your favorite medal?

Not a bad idea although my favorite medal doesn't have that great of a story

As a member of the Fake Media, I’d advise you to just make something up.

I am the balloon lady that makes sure we keep trucking on to the next world and I also will finish your drinks for you. You're welcome.

Two things:

1. You should most definitely carry a balloon around.

2. I really want to run a Star Wars 5K or 10K dressed as Dark Helmet from Spaceballs, carry a Death Star balloon and the back of my shirt will read "Ha, ha, ha. FOOL YOU!!!!"

Actual pictures of the medals are starting to leak out.

Since they had the medals this ready to go, they really should have revealed the medals themselves instead of the artwork.

I liked last year’s marathon medal, although Mickey looked pretty intense, almost angry.

I liked it to, but am looking forward to a happy Mickey on a medal.

P.S. I LOVE ranking things. Thanks for this opportunity, ha ha.

I think I once attempted to rank all of my runDisney medals. I may have even posted said ranking on these boards.

I actually like most of the medals much much more than the renderings...except the 10K. That one is still pretty lackluster.

I kind of like it by itself, but also understand why many people don't like it.

I sense this would be a good Sunday question.

I concur.

Favorite medals? Ranking medals?

This could be really fun.

Maybe pic and story behind your favorite medal?

An even better idea. Sometimes the stories behind the medals give them even more weight.

I think this story should involve how he ran the entire Dopey challenge in a Panda suit. And somehow time travel should factor into it. And maybe a Delorean.

The Castaway Cay is definitely the best medal of the bunch.

I don't like Goofy as much since seeing the real thing.

1) I really like the medals! I appreciate them doing something a bit different. Why they made the Castaway medal the best of the bunch is beyond me though!
2) My favorite medal ever was the 2013 20th anniversary WDW marathon medal - it was my first marathon, and it really is the most epic, perfect medal ever!
3) I am hoping to meet y'all for at least a beer at DATW - I have to fly home that afternoon and can't overdo it!

To me, it looks like they got 6 different people to design the medals and only gave them very basic guidelines.

Alright folks, your homework is to take a pic of your favorite race medal, shirt, trophy, mug, knickknack, whatever ... more to come on Sunday.

I’ll just take photos of everything.

That’s a good start. I expect a PowerPoint from you.

All my pictures taken with my iPhone are being posted sideways. I’ve tried editing them, saving them upside down but they still post sideways. Anyone know how to fix it?

I’ve had the same problem. @rteetz said it was a known issue with the new message board platform.

So... I’m not sure if this really works or not, but you could try it. I’ve posted a couple of pictures that were cropped screen shots from my iPhone. So, you might try taking a screen shot of your photo, maybe cropping it if you want, and then post it???

I really dislike that Oswald medal. It doesn’t fit in with the rest and it looks like the left side got chopped off. I LOVE the Goofy and the Castaway Cay medals.

I’m having trouble narrowing it down to one favorite for tomorrow. On the other hand, I can identify several that are definitely not favorites. If we decide to go that route next, I have a couple of candidates for ugliest race shirt.

I say show both. I definitely will be showing more than one.

Y’all can post as much as you want. ZFG.

Why release all of these, but no half or dopey medals?

They aren't ready yet.
