Marathon Weekend 2021

[KSellers88]

Random question for my fellow runDisney all-stars: I'm moving into my new apartment this week and I'd like to display some of my race medals to make it feel a little more like home. Because it's a rental, I don't want to damage the walls, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for displaying some medals?

Right now, I don't see myself going the shadow box route. Looking for simple, DIY sort of ideas, but I fully recognize that options might not exist.

A wooden ladder against the wall and hang it off the rungs

I am late as usual, but the wooden ladder is exactly how I display mine in our apartment currently. I also think this will be super easy to move when the time comes because I plan to move it with them still on it. My dad and I built it out of three 8 foot 2x4s and it was super easy!

SAFD: this is a fun one and we talk about it often at our house!

DH wants to mow the grass.
In-park: I want to sell balloons and bubble wands. Mainly because I can watch people smile and get excited about something, yet not have to enforce any rules (I'm awful at that)

Behind the scenes: Photographer for all marketing purposes. DREAM JOB. It's my real job here at home so I at least have some experience for this one.

SAFD: CM at Tower of Terror hands down. I've had some of those CMs that are just so much fun on that ride. Would love to do the same!

SAFD: I second Rise of the Resistance Ride Operator. Love everything about it.

SAFD : First choice would probably be safari guide mainly because that is a ride that is or can be different each time based on what animals are out or are not so would be more fun then reciting the exact same thing every time trip.

Second would be ROTR especially in one area where the CMs are really in-character and have some room to improv some (no spoilers so I'll leave it at that)

My wife and I do wedding photography on the side and we always wondered what it would be like shooting weddings at the GF.

I would love to work in costuming, being able to create all the fun costumes would be so fun!!

No castle lights this year...

SAFD; Tiger handler - BACKSTAGE. I did my time in public-facing retail and restaurants: I never want to do it again, lol!

I'm going to add a couple jobs to my list since there have been some good ones:

- Animal caretaker at AK. Maybe not birds, but all of the others would be fine.
- Bartender. Thirsty River in AK, preferably.

And no very merry christmas party. Not a good sign. :-(

No Christmas party was a given. They were deliberate in not saying anything about post December 30th though. I think they are doing things in chunks.

SAFD: I talk all day and 80% of it is terrible dad jokes, so I'd be in my element on Jungle Cruise. Would love to be a safari driver though because ANIMALS!, and getting to sit down and talk to people who want to listen to me. I'd always thought working in the little tea shop in England or another calm one like outfitters in Canada seemed rather peaceful.

One job for talking to people would be HoP. Most everytime I've gone there is some guy in the lobby with all these facts on the presidents who will chat with people while they wait on the show. They always looked like they really enjoyed what they did.

I'll be Quality Control.

As a fan of HEA I’ve got no issues with castle projections but I’m really hoping they bring the lights back in the future.

 

[TCB in FLA]

SAFD: I would love to be a dancer/performer in the MK parade, but I think I’ve unfortunately aged out of that job. So more realistic plan B would be to do special events coordination, like Wine & Dine seminars, press days for new attractions, or Run Disney races.

Usually HoP and American adventure are my prime napping spots so I'd have to get over the desire to sleep on the job

Good call...if they need a middle-age no-longer-limber person to wave a ribbon or something then I'm all in. I'm at least good at covering the walking mileage.

SAFD: The guy who puts up the lights on the castle...nevermind

1 - Vet tech or whatever the Disney equivalent is for Animal Kingdom.
2 - Wild Africa Trek tour guide
3 - Monorail pilot
4 - Gardener in The Land
5 - Stable hand @ Tri-Circle-D
6 - RunDisney staff
