Evolution of Donald Duck Costume In Disneyland & More! - DIStory Dan Ep. 79 [REMASTER]

The Donald Duck Meet & Greet. He’s one of the staples of a park vacation. Sure you’re gonna meet Mickey, but he’s nowhere near as fun as his short tempered weird friend. I love watching this feathered chaos machine wiggle. So you know what time it is. Put on your Charles Darwin toe socks. ITS TIME TO FIND OUT HOW THE DUCK REALLY EVOLVED.

This is one of the few times where the topic of "Disney" & "Remaster" being put together makes me feel excited!

We visited the parks in January, my husband's first trip since 1989. One of the big things he wanted to do was meet Donald, and we got the opportunity at Tusker House. When I mentioned that my husband had been waiting to meet him for 30+ years, Donald tapped his watch and stamped his foot. I laughed so hard. Best costume character, full stop 😂

You're right, Disney Dan. Donald Duck is a lot of fun. In fact, the very first time I met Donald Duck during the Christmas season, he saw my Goofy t-shirt and grabbed and pulled it out of anger. That was the sign that my Disney trip was not going to be ordinary at all. It was going to be amazing, which it was. I caught my whole first interaction with the duck on video.

The Ice-Capades costumes were *articulated* ?

Wow, that's so impressive, especially when you keep in mind the technology at the time and the budget they had to work with. Honestly I would love seeing you dive deeper into this topic.

Also I'm down to see the weird history behind College Mascot Donald #DonaldDuckthrowsdown

I’ve never had a disappointing interaction with Donald. Always 10/10. I’m not sure what’s funnier: his narcissism when you’re wearing Donald merch or his anger when you’re wearing Mickey merch.

One of my favorite Disney memories of all times was when I was with my grandparents at a character dining restaurant (I'm 99.9% sure it was Hollywood and vine) and Donald pointed to my grandfather's Korean War vet hat and clapped, thanking him for his service. I just thought it was so sweet and the fact Donald duck canonically is a vet too made it even cooler

The early Donalds are haunting. My grandpa could do a Donald voice. I miss him. Candycorn Donald is one of the BEST Donalds

As a kid the character costumes always fascinated me and it’s very hard to find information on them. It’s really because of the magic that Disney doesn’t give out much info I get it. I’ve gotten information only from people who have worked as Characters till your videos. Thanks DisneyDan.

Ok I would adore the Oregon ducks video! Great remaster of the video, Donald is my favorite character to meet in the parks❤

7:30 HERBIE! Make evolution of Herbie in disney parks next!

The newest Donald Mascot costume is so adorable and a perfect recreation of Donald!💙 Oswald may be my favourite but I love Donald too! I wish I could meet them in a Disney park someday!

[berkshire]

Fantastic remaster of one of your classic evolution videos. ^^ Didn’t know articulated Donald had his own Meet and Greet. Mickey usually takes most of the spotlight.

I have a soft spot for the cartoony Donald Duck costume, they always used promo pics with that costumes whenever they did adverts for Disneyland Paris in the swedish Donald Duck comic books. <3

At 10:06 that’s what Donald looked like the first time I went to Disneyland in 1991. I was 4 years old and I didn’t enjoyed it at all I was terrified of the costumed characters. Although I didn’t meet Donald to me those huge pupils are straight up uncanny valley territory and would defiantly have terrified me

[ashcashgamer]

Thank you Dan for your history on mascot costumes. :)

[Alberto_Tellez]

My big fave is still the 2002 Modern Donald used today. Thanks for the remake Dan.

[lateramae]

Great, now Howard the Duck is going to be stuck in my brain for all of eternity. Thanks Dan.

[KatieD-kc]

I'm so happy you remade this video. Donald is my favorite character and I love seeing all his versions. I need his cruise outfit for myself. Haha.

Oh, God…
Herbie, What happened to you??

[meetscottyb]

Love the vids! Former character cast member here. I was actually used to design the Buzz Lightyear costume and was the first Buzz so I’m basically a LIVING LEGEND! But this brings back SO many memories!
