2017 D23 Expo Day 1 - Friday July 14

            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.
