You’ve heard of the movies that made us...but what about the dads?

This week on The Dads of Main Street, we’re talking about the Disney dads from movies and shows that shaped us. From the heroes who set the gold standard for fatherhood to the ones who totally dropped the ball, we’re ranking, debating, and laughing our way through some of the most formative father figures in Disney history.

We’re pulling from everything... DCOMs, sitcoms, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, animated classics, you name it. And we’ll talk about how these characters hit differently depending on when you watched them.

Because for some, Toy Story is just a fun movie. But if you grew up with Andy and aged right alongside him… Toy Story 3 hits in a completely different way.

In this episode of The Dads of Main Street, we’re joined by a very special guest — Miguel, a Disney Cast Member and dedicated dad to a neurodivergent child.

We dive into what it’s really like to experience the Disney parks through a neurodivergent lens. From sensory challenges and overstimulation to the pressure of public parenting and the unique ways magic shows up when you're paying attention — this episode is about inclusion, understanding, and real-life fatherhood.

Miguel shares personal stories, park-day strategies, and important insight into how Disney is working toward a more inclusive experience for all guests. He also offers advice for dads navigating similar journeys and opens up about the realities of parenting with compassion and patience in an often overwhelming environment.

Whether you’re a parent of a neurodivergent child, a Disney parks fan, or just looking for a meaningful and honest conversation about showing up for your kids — this episode is for you.

Today’s episode is gonna be HOT.

We’re talking all about staying cool in the parks… and we don’t just mean sunscreen, shade breaks, or Dole Whips (though yes, those help).

We’re talking about keeping your cool as a dad — when the magic starts to unravel, the kids are melting down, the crowds are overwhelming, and you’re seconds away from becoming that guy.

In this episode, we’re sharing honest stories, strategies we’ve learned (usually the hard way), and our own dad goals for showing up calm, collected, and present — even when the day doesn't go as planned.

Because magic isn’t about perfection. It’s about staying grounded when the pressure’s on.
