Hershey Park Candy Character Meet & Eat! - DIStory Dan

⭐WATCH PART 2 HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anqcg5dtfM6dkJY - THE SAGA CONTINUES!

[@michaelwulfbane]

Ya know, the handler “voice of the character” interpreter is a pretty good gimmick in this case. Also I can imagine all the cast members getting together backstage in their cooldown room telling stories of the man consuming their confectionery brethren.

[@sparrowslife5142]

As someone who used to work there, I can guarantee that they all laugh about it if it happened to them xD

[@MyNameIsEarl42]

@@sparrowslife5142 do handlers and characters switch roles sometimes or are you assigned to one or the other? I'm going to guess no, otherwise someone else would have been Ms Twizzler on the first park day

[@raynacarraway440]

Idk if I've ever seen more pure joy in a single person than Dan as he meets a standing bottle of chocolate syrup that wears sunglasses, and making his excitement well known to everyone in the surrounding area. Never change Disney Dan, never change

It makes sense that Jolly Rancher is the tallest/oldest level at the park. Considering when you get older you start to lose your teeth, and that's also what Jolly Ranchers do!

[@Baldjotarokujo]

Huh

[@2doot]

@@Baldjotarokujo I think what they mean to say is that Jolly Ranchers make you lose your teeth (either bc of the sugary content or because it's a harder candy.) Either that, or they're implying that the elderly enjoy Jolly Ranchers because the candy melts in your mouth and people with a significant loss of teeth like to suck on them. Not sure which they're trying to say...

I also live local to hersheypark. I've never been to disney or universal or anything and yet I still love theme park content on youtube. To see my weird, strange yet fascinating home park get the same kind of love from you that's given to the parks previously mentioned makes me very happy.

[@Katesaprincess]

I go to Disney and universal but Hershey park is also local and I’m a passholder. I think Hershey is so great and it has a lot of good rides and theming! I think it’s lucky to have this park near me!

[@ButterFlyGardenBlossom]

Same here, except I have been to Disney and Universal. But Hershey is my one of my favorite theme parks to go to, I love the rides. Whenever we see Disney on Ice, we always go to it at the arena in Hershey :)

[@victoriabell9546]

I am living vicariously through you in this video, Dan. I haven't been to Hersheypark in over 7 years! Skyrush is my favorite ride! The character costumes (and team member costumes) don't look half-bad either! It hurt my soul when you ate your KitKat that way.

[@LittleJT16]

Its funny how kitkat reacted

[@unknown_limes]

The Jolly Rancher mystery deepens, looking at the website, his picture isn't even of his costume character. It's a statue seemingly somewhat of an in-between of the two costumes seen in the video (non-shiny glasses, headphones over the ears, long-sleeved shirt and vest outfit). So that begs the question, why is he the only one whose actual costume is not pictured? And furthermore, which one should guests expect to see more often?

[@DistoryDan]

[@TheAtomized_Wizard]

This entire video was hilarious but I can’t stop laughing at how funny this was and how it took me by surprise 18:09

[@mushroomking8039]

Dan, I just want you to know that one time when I was like eight, I went to Culver's with my family and they had Scoopie, the custard mascot, out walking around and I did this exact same thing. I looked him square in the eye and ate my custard in front of him. He hung his head down low and walked dramatically away and I felt so bad and went and gave him a hug lmao.

[@xandraamrine1114]

Hi Disney Dan! I’m a longtime fan and I can’t begin to tell you how much joy it brings me to see you delve into Hersheypark content! Hershey was my childhood park growing up and I was OBSESSED. I knew every fact about every ride and met every character on my 6th birthday back when Chocolate World had the Chocolate Town Cafe! I had season passes every year growing up and when I come home to visit family, a trip to Hershey is always a must! I am so looking forward to your content featuring Hersheypark and if you need another Hershey enthusiast on the show, I’d love to contribute anything I can! Also I can’t wait to see your views on the characters of the 70s, especially the 2 headed Reese’s.

[@diamond_dynamo2214]

I just wanna say as someone who grew up in central PA, I really appreciate Hershey coverage. I went there every summer growing up, and I feel like it often gets overlooked EDIT: Not that I've finished the video, this was extremely fun and intensely nostalgic for me, thank you very much for the video! I'm absolutely looking forward to more Hershey content in the future!

[@jaredsimpsonacn]

The leap from narrated voice over videos to this face to camera format is a huge upgrade and jolt or much needed personality. I herby vote for Dan to remake his top videos in this new format

[@corndair]

I'm always confused whenever someone shows the new Rollo costume! He used to be a doofy little sidways hat guy with one tooth sticking out!

Sweet video, guys! (see what i did there) I love the energy of these characters’ performances. Miss Kiss, as a costume, hasn’t got much to work with, and she still sold it. Kudos to them.

[@TheInfectiousCadaver]

[@angelita98gaby]

I recently went down a Hersheypark rabbit hole after reminiscing on my visit in the early 2000s, seeing how the character designs have changed and what attractions are defunct like the 3-D theater show. Hershey used to look a little more kid-like, he had a backwards ball cap on and his wrapper clothes look like a hoodie - much more of an eight-year-old persona than the one today that looks more like an adult. This is awesome!

I’m late to this video, but I believe he was trying to say he’s the 5 pound bar. He smacks his hands like giving someone a pounding and gives Dan a pound- a fist bump.

[@kingdelbert]

First of all finally some really good footage of the characters on KZbin. Second, my experience with any of the characters was limited because the Hershey Bar was going in. He was nice enough for me to take a picture of him though, so we didn't get snubbed. We only did Chocolate World, but drove AROUND the park, so you saw all the coasters and such which was awesome. Hersheypark is slowly but surely becoming a destination park with more than just the park, and I think that's awesome.

[@Baysidemom2]

I love how in the thumbnail Dan looks like he's questioning all of his life choices also what kind of monster bites all 4 pieces of a kitkat at once! 😱 also also Dan your laugh is LITERALLY (yes literally not even figuratively) the cure for depression, you should bottle it
