    Ep. 81 | Story Of A Disney Late Bloomer
    Dec 1 2025
    EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
    This episode of Main Street Radio puts Josh in the hot seat to share how he went from Disney first-timer to frequent park regular in just a few years. Hear how a 2020 family trip to Disneyland, followed by a pandemic-era visit to Walt Disney World, completely transformed his connection to Disney. The hosts dig into the movies that sparked his love for the parks, what it felt like walking through the gates for the very first time, and how that experience snowballed into constant return visits. Along the way, they have fun with rapid-fire favorites, from buffets and park vehicles to an unforgettable embarrassing kid moment and even which Disney plant clipping survived at home. Tune in for a heartfelt, funny Disney origin story that every fan can relate to.
