I'm starting to reconnect with some of my old friends from high school but they have a 5-year-old now and I want to make a good impression but I don't really know how to interact with children. Do I just like ask them what their favorite Disney movie is or something?

Kids like attention. Ask them what they like to play, and what they like to watch. Talk to them like little adults and they generally will like that.
