Charlie Perez and her dad Eric Mcgough – SWNSJust in time for Halloween, meet the dad and daughter who like to dress up together as famous Disney duos on frequent visits to their favorite theme park, called ‘Disneybounding’.
Charlie Perez and her dad Eric Mcgough have now enthusiastically dressed up in eight sets of father-daughter costumes over the last 16 months in an homage to iconic films such as Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, and Up.
The idea came from a follower on Charlie’s Instagram page who pointed out that the 71-year-old looked a lot like Jane’s father from Tarzan, Professor Archimedes Q. Porter.
The 27-year-old told her dad about it and suggested they don matching costumes the next time they head to Disney World, while still being discreet in adherence to theme park rules.
‘Disneybounding’ is a way to dress up as Disney characters while still following the rules of Disney parks, which prohibit costumes and masks for guests 14 and older. Disneybounders use everyday clothing, accessories, and color palettes to resemble their favorite Disney characters.
The pair first got dolled-up as Jane and the Professor May 2023, and have been coming up with new ideas ever since, including Ariel and King Triton from Little Mermaid.

Charlie Perez and Eric Mcgough – SWNS“When I first asked my Dad about it, I think he was a little bit reluctant in case people thought it was silly, said Charlie, who lives in Orlando, Florida. “But once we found our outfits, he really got into the character.”
“My Dad is my best friend and he’s always there for me.
“I truly think he is the best Dad in the world and I feel so lucky to have him—and to create these amazing memories with him.”
Charlie Perez and her dad Eric Mcgough pay homage to Up! – SWNSAlthough her parents still live in Lincolnshire, England, Eric often visits Charlie and they always go to nearby Disney World together.
“We try to do dad–daughter characters, but also anyone that my dad looks like specifically.”
“Most of the time it is just us using regular items of clothing but styling them to look like a specific character.”

“It’s been a wonderful bonding experience.”
