2016 was still rubber 5k medal for marathon weekend - I got one too.
I think metal 5k medals were introduced at either Tink or Disneyland Half in 2016. It was a big deal to get a metal 5k medal when I ran DLH that year and the 2016 inaugural SWDS still had the rubber 5k medal.
Yup right you are, I was off by a year. My first runDisney race after castaway key summer 2016 was the Princess 5k 2017 with my wife and daughter, we got metal medals.
Yep, the Princess 5K that year also had a rubber medal. That was my first race and I was pretty bummed I didn't get a "real" medal. Though it did motivate me to want try do longer distances! I did all three races at Princess 2017 and all those medals were metal.
