You getting so excited to share this information with someone is such a huge mood considering as soon as I finished the video I needed to call my mom and tell her what i learned

[JCLopez]

I'm happy they created Mylar Balloons cause as someone who is highly allergic to latex, this is a great alternative for people who have the same allergy as I do and want a balloon like this.

Hearing about the person who created the iconic disney mickey balloon brought me the same amount of joy and awe as the defunctland doc on the man who made the disney channel theme!! I honestly would love to hear more about Treb

[BasementMermaid]

Dan, if you ever want to do that Treb documentary, go for it! That is fascinating to hear that this man revolutionized how balloons are used in celebrations and in corporate mouse overload themed vacations

[lollybirdy]

I didnt know the mickey balloon had such a complicated history lmao

[robynwhite]

I am a CBA, Certified Balloon Artist, and watching this was fun because I know what he means by the balloon arch, etc I was thought how to inflate the Mickey Mouse balloons the special way also!

[jwood]

10:59 I audibly gasped when you revealed the dawn of the balloon arch. This kind of trivia impresses me. Thank you!

[BeefyBryan]

I was always curious about the “bubble” layer on the Mickey Balloon. Thank you for doing the research for me. ☺️

I worked at Disney world when I was a teenager. I lived the magic in it everyday and I still have good contacts. Anyway whenever I think of Disney. I think of YOU 🤣🤣🤣

[dipperdawn]

I didn't know I wanted this until it showed up in my feed and I got unreasonably excited to watch it.

[ShimmyShimmyK]

This is SO cool!!
When I was a teenager, I had a job yelling and selling candy at Sesame Place. That job was the BEST!!

[nodesire]

never thought the history of balloons would be so disturbing, but here we are lol. not sure which was freakier-the painting of the kids or the og Mickey balloon

[shinyagumon]

Now I want to know the history of these other weird balloons from that Ohio company.

Also Dan, did you really make an "elderly man floating up with Balloons" jokes without referencing UP?

[lateramae]

Wow, Treb Heining was a genius!!! While doing the Disney College Program, a cast member gave me a green Mickey Mouse glass house balloon and it lasted for weeks, maybe even months.

[yotsubafanfan]

I remember coming home from Disney as a kid when my Dad came up with a great idea. He deflated the Mylar balloons my twin sis and I bought and hung them on our bedroom wall. They stayed on the wall until we got our own rooms when we were 10.

Dan: "Walt did NOT want a carnival atmosphere for his park."
Me: *remembers Holidayland*
Me: Wait a minute...

Amazing video yet again Dan! Also I always love all the effort that goes into decorating the background. It's always interesting to see how it changes each video! Also one of my favorite things to do when I need to smile is look up pictures of old paintings with babies or children in them cause it honestly makes me wonder if they had ever seen an actual child or baby.

When I visited Walt Disney World when I was 13 for the first time (it was also the first time I visited the United States, I’m Canadian) I wasn’t allowed to get a Mickey balloon or any Mickey shaped ice cream thing, because my mom said it was a waste of money, yes I was and sometimes still am sad. I recently went to Disneyland for the first time and saw the big bunches of balloons the cast members carry again after ten years being in a Disney park again, it was something to marvel at even if I didn’t buy any this time either.

[octaviorex]

That turned out to be more interesting than I was expecting

[rmmate]

11:10 you didn’t have to call me out like that Dan.😂😂😂😂
