I thought it was just me. When I originally saw the medal, I didn’t realize that they were the actual finishers medals. I just looked at them and thought, no, that can’t be. There’s no bling, no sparkle, nothing to celebrate a princess finish. It looks dull, dismal and disenchanting. (I feel like a jerk to criticize someone’s creative effort, but this medal was and is disappointing to me.)
I liked the medals that have a tiara-theme with a jewel, such as the ones from 2013 and 2014. Those medals inspired me to sign up on day one of registration and to put countless miles on the treadmill and pavement. I wanted the bling that would reflect my sense of accomplishment at the end. work hard to finish the marathon. And now, I think that when someone asks me about it, my response will be indifferent, “Oh, that’s just sometime I did once upon a time…” Like it was nothing special at all.
I hope that my perspective changes on race day.
I saw these in person at the Expo during WDW Marathon Weekend – even more disappointing. The attention to detail is gone. I have my medals hanging from 2017 & 2018 in frames – these I won’t at all, not worth it. What happened???
I’m glad I’m not running it this year. These medals are so disappointing. Why Elena of Avalor? I saw the picture first and did not know who it it was. That shouldn’t be, one should look at it and immediately know who it is. Keep to the movie princesses, we don’t need the television ones.
When will we see the Kids Race medals? My two granddaughters are doing the race and we want to dress them according to the Princess theme. Last year the medal for my granddaughter was Mulan. She was thrilled! Please post pics! Already ordered my Elena running skirt!
These medals are very disappointing. The medals the past several years have been awesome. No looking forward to earning these medals. I hope that the merchandise is better.
Very very disappointed in the designs of these medals. Last years was absolutely beautiful and those just look cheap. Not excited to run this year – really hoping these are just bad photos…
My daughter and I are running the Disney Half Marathon for the first time this year. We have been anticipating the release of the medals and we were so excited to see the half Marathon medal. My daughter literally cried she was so happy! My 3 year old niece (her cousin) is named Aurora, so we were psyched that our first year we will get an Aurora medal 💗. Great job Disney! I love the medals, as did my daughter. We haven’t seen the medals in the past but I still feel that the medals this year are beautiful. We look forward to our 13.1 miles and some mom and daughter time that is memories we can cherish together. Disney is truly magical ❤️
Have to say agree with the others the 2019 Medals for the Princess race are extremely disappointing. I have done a lot of these races and by far these are not true classic princess feel and not excited nor motivated at all about the medals.
These medal designs are so disappointing. Last year’s Princess Half Marathon medal was beautiful. Not sure, what they were thinking with these designs.
I’m not one to complain, but I’m really bummed they missed the mark with the direction of medal designs. I’m not enchanted or excited with these as prizes, and I’m signed up for all three races and even added family to join me this year. 🙁 Why is Aurora making fists? It looks out of character.
Disappointed in the Half Medal. Expect much more from Disney.
The medals in the past have always been awesome. The design on these is poorly done. What happened Disney? The characters as themes is fine, but where is the elevated design we love and are used to?
Elena of Avalor is not a classic princess, shes fairly new. Really want to see the kids medal as well. Ready to run 22.4!
Disappointed in the 5k medal. And what about the kid race medal?
I’m very excited to be returning to The Princess Half marathon weekend in February! I love all the medals, but what happened to the 5k design? This is THE PRINCESS marathon weekend. We want color and sparkle!! Great job design team on the Aurora medal! The challenge medal, and 10k would be perfect with more SPARKLE!! 😉 See you in February!! 💕💕
what about the kid’s medal??
Yay! I wasn’t expecting to see these until sometime in December!
Yay! So excited!
