[roxymama]

Fun fact: Those of us with Tinkerbell signature trackers....we've switched over to 2 months + !!!

For anyone asking about expo set-up, see pages 17-19 of last year's event guide: http://as1.wdpromedia.com/media/rundisney/2016TinkProgram.pdf

This may have been previously discussed...but why is the GoGo squeeze tinkerbell apple on page 21 giving it's berry buddy the middle finger? I kind of want to crop it out and make that into a t-shirt for days I'm not feeling my training runs.

Looks like a brand new design for the medals this year.

My first reaction is I LOVE THE HALF MEDAL. I have to go digest it and stare at it for more thoughts, but that is my first look impression.

PDC is way better in my opinion as well.

Disney Parks blog revealed the medals today! Not sure how I feel about the half marathon medal, but I do like the Pixie Dust Challenge medal. I should probably decide if I'm going to register now!!

Oh thank god! The PDC medal is SO much better!! My friend just sent me a message: "they changed the PDC medal just for you this year!" hahaha

Looks like Lost Boys on the 10K medal? Overall, I really like them! Half is probably my least favorite but I really like the PDC medal a lot!

It appears the color scheme for the weekend is going to be the various blues with the tink green. I am happy about that because I really like it. Very springy.

The 5k, 10k and kids races are not "fairy" at all...more Pan themed.

Agreed, I hope this is a peek at the colors. They could throw in some pink and purple and it would be just lovely. Hope they have these out in person next week!

I think I was so worried about them going so far off from the Wing medals (which I liked) that I was getting worried. I like all the frou-frou accents and all the color!, so I'm pleased. I still would have been happy with the old ones. I'm just relieved.

Luckily for my wallet, I think I'm not tempted ENOUGH to switch to PDC.

I'll stop posting now...I'm starting to spam this thread.

As always, I wish they had posted photos that are a little higher-quality. Hard to make out some of the details...or maybe I'm just old.

I'm not mad about it.

I LOVE the 10k medal!!

 

[bellanotte10]

oh man. I'm glad I'm doing the pixie dust challenge because I wanted the wing medals so bad so that's close enough....of course the year I sign up they change the design hahahaha....

 

[ZellyB]

I really like them. Makes me kinda wish I was signed up for the 5K now. I like all the color on the half medal and the PDC medal, but that 10k one, I love!! YAY!!!

 

[bananabean]

I love the 5k, 10k, and challenge medals! Not so much a fan of the half.

I'm thinking about doing PDC last minute like I did last year. I'm hoping for some discounts as it gets closer. And some cheap flights.

 

[HockeyMomNH]

Yay! I love them!

 

[courtneybeth]

I am disappointed that I didn't sign up for the PDC and am not getting all of the swanky medals. I know my reason for doing the half race was strategic but part of me is kicking myself for not getting those gorgeous medals.

Dang it.

 

[HockeyMomNH]

I'm so glad that the 10K medal is not too "girly" since that is the race I convinced DH to sign up for.

 

[Tinkerbelle's Mom]

DD (15) loves the medals. She is doing her first challenge this year. It's a tradition for her kind of... her 1st 10k was two years ago at Tink and her first half was last years Tink. She loves the medals. Hoping we can get a peak at them next week at the expo.

 

[The Expert]

I was worried, this being my first Tink, but I LOVE these! The Half is just ok, but I love the 10K and the PDC medals!!!
