    This was always my view as well on the whole situation. I agree with the comments that one should be able to earn both C2C medals but only with 4 separate races on each coast.
    I agree also with what Steph said, you should not be able to count TINK twice. I hope Disney figures this out and does right by the many that travel to all the races.

    Steph, you make a great point. If runDisney says runners cannot get regular C2C for WDW Half/Tinker Bell *AND* a pink C2C for Tink/Princess, I would be OK with that. I do think they need to clarify things, though. I realize a medal is "just" a medal, but it affects people's vacation plans, travel budgets, and all sorts of things.

    You should be able to earn both in a calendar year in my opinion, however you shouldn't be able to double count an event. Therefore you would have to do WDW full or half marathon plus Wine & Dine half for the traditional C2C and the Tinker Bell and Princess for the pink C2C.

    You hit the issue perfectly. Think of how Competitor runs the Rock n Roll events. You earn the Pacific Peaks medal for completing both RnR Portland and RnR Seattle but you can't earn it with any other race combo. You can, however, use PDX and SEA to earn other challenge medals such as Grand Slam. Pretty simple.

    runDisney needs to realize that there are many of us who are planning on doing WDW, Tink, and Princess especially those who have legacy in Princess or are going for legacy at Tink. In my humble opinion, it would really be a poor business decision to withhold the pink C2C medal from those who are making the effort to participate in them all.

    Thanks, Lani, for the info.
    This was something that I was seriously considering subscribing to. The problem was that they did not offer it at ORD. However, they did offer it at MCO and DEN - places that I did go to rather frequently.

    The thing is that it was a lot cheaper than "upgrading" tickets to "priority" level in order to go through the security lines faster. And believe me, at ORD, it can be worth it at times.

    But I never really saw anyone use the Clear service at any of the airports that offered it.

    We had Clear and in fact recently (less than two months ago) renewed at $179 each. I've emailed their support for information on refunds but so far I'm only getting auto-responses. I've also filed chargebacks with my credit card company, so we'll see what happens.

    I'm very disappointed, especially considering our upcoming back-to-back WDW trips this fall.
