THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Het hunebed wordt toegeschreven aan de trechterbekercultuur.
Het hunebed is 6,0 meter lang en 2,7 meter breed. Oorspronkelijk had het acht draagstenen en vier dekstenen.
D23 en D24 zijn zo gehavend, dat ze nauwelijks te herkennen zijn als hunebed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hunebed is attributed to the funnel cup culture.
The hunebed is 6.0 meters long and 2.7 meters wide. Originally it had eight bearing stones and four capstones.
D23 and D24 are so battered that they can hardly be recognized as a hunebed

Awesome day at D23 with fellow Disney fans! Highlight was the Lion King panel with surprise appearances from Ernie Sabella, Jim Cummings, and Whoopi Goldberg, as well as an amazing musical performance by the original singer of Circle of Life!😍 Ernie was a delight! And watching Alan Menken perform all of his songs live was absolutely fantastic as well! Best Con ever!

Processed in divided D23 developer: 10 minutes in Part A and 3 minutes in Part B. It makes beautiful negatives.

Here are photos and notes on my first day at the D23 Expo 2017. I got to the Convention Center about 5:45 am, and go to the end of the outside showfloor line at about 6 am. I went through metal detectors, and was directed to a square area outlined by tape. It was overcast and about 75 degrees. There were many thousands of people ahead of me. There were also the overnighters down in Hall E, who got to go into the show floor ahead of us in the outside line. The sun broke through the clouds at about 8:30, so it started getting a lot warmer. They outside lines started moving at about 9 am towards the main entrance.
I got in at about 9:30, and made a beeline to the Disney Store. Unfortunately, the standby line was closed at that point, and they gave me a Store Pass for 3 pm. They said the line could be opened up at any time, so I could come back later to see if they had opened it up again.
I went to the D23 Design Challenge display, and took a few photos. At that time the first place winner wasn't displayed. I finally saw it when I left, and they had also rearranged the display.
I then went to the Disney Music Emporium, because of the many newly released picture vinyl record discs. I was interested in the Disneyland attraction discs. But when I got there, I also decided to get the Moana picture disc. I also got a holographic vinyl of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Shining a light on the vinyl while it spins on a turntable makes a holographic image of the Millennium Falcon float above one disc, and an X-Wing Fighter in another.
Then I went to the Disney Store (at about 11 am), and was pleasantly surprised that they had opened up the standby line. The Store Pass line (for the 11 am time slot) had also started to be filled. I got in there I gathered up my goodies. I also took pictures of various merchandise, especially limited edition or Designer merchandise. However, a mishap with my bank card that I couldn't resolve forced me to leave with just the Designer Lithographs, which I paid for with cash. Fortunately I fixed the issue after I got home, and was okay for the next day.

11:40 am. Outside of the main entrance of the Disney Store. Art of Jasmine merchandise display. Waiting in line, just before entering the Disney Store.
Day 2 of the D23 Expo 2015 on Saturday Aug 15, 2015
Goals: D23 Exclusive Limited Edition Red Jasmine 17'' Doll, Art of Jasmine LE items, an extra D23 Exclusive LE Elsa and Hans 12'' Doll Set.
I got to the Anaheim Convention Center at 4:45 am. Then I was told that they had moved the lineup for D23 shopping from Hall E to Hall A, the opposite side of the building. So I went to Hall A, and they told me to go upstairs to the Stage 28 queue room. I saw lots of people laying down in the hallway next to the room, some of them apparently sleeping. Inside the room, it was less than half full of people. It was about 5:15 am. At about 6:30 am, they started moving us downstairs, to the lobby of Hall A. Then at about 8:50, the lines started moving, and I got into the main exhibit hall at about 9 am. We went to the end of the line for the Disney Store, which was in the back of the store. This was where the second part of yesterday's line was located. So I figured that it meant that I would get into the Disney Store a lot earlier than yesterday.
Sure enough, I got into the Disney Store at about 11:40 am. I was told before hand that they still had the D23 exclusive Elsa/Hans set and LE Red Jasmine doll so I was feeling good. I quickly rounded up the Elsa/Hans set first, especially since I saw that there were very few left on the shelves. In fact, as I picked out my doll, I heard a CM tell another person that she was lucky to get a Elsa/Hans set because there wasn't any left in the back. Then I went for the Red Jasmine doll. I was relieved to see that there was plenty of her on the shelves, in two locations. So I took my time picking out one for myself. I then got most of the LE Art of Jasmine merchandise. I also grabbed a LE Frozen ornament set, but passed on getting the LE Olaf figure. I checked out my goods at 12:20, and then left the D23 to go home. I had very satisfying day of shopping.

I got to the Convention Center about 5 am, and entered the main entrance. I got directed to the morning line for shopping, to the second floor of the exhibit hall, next to Hall A. I got into the show floor at around 9:10 am and made a beeline to the Disney Store. There was a line in front of it, but thankfully this time the standby line was still open. They estimated that the current wait time was about 1 and half hours, which made me optimistic about being able to get the Art of Snow White LE dolls. When I got near the head of the line, a CM told me that there were still Designer Pin Sets and Lithographs available this morning, so that made me happy that I might be able to get them as well.
I got in the store at 11 am, and saw that there was plenty of LE Snow White and Hag dolls on the shelves. There was also lots of other Art of Snow White merchandise that I hadn't seen photos of before. I also grabbed the Designer Collection Lithograph Set and the Pin Set, and quickly made my way to the cash registers. This time everything went smoothly paying for the items. I also got the $5 Purchase With Purchase Snow White LE 3000 pin. Finally I pre-ordered the Designer Collection doll sets. After that I went straight home. I very successful day of Disney shopping!
I didn't take very good photos of the dolls, but I will post detailed photos of all my purchases later today.
