One of the best Disney podcasts out there!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple years now and it just gets better. Doug and Derek are hysterical and really know what they are talking about. Best part about the podcast is that they are just good people! They’ve personally answered my trip questions a few times and they won my loyalty, which is why I’m now a patron 😀I’m with Derek, though, Mickey pretzel all the way.
Favorite Disney podcast!
This is my favorite Disney podcast by far! If you like to plan your Disney vacation strategically, this podcast is for you! Derek and Doug give a lot of helpful tips, they always have the best up to date info, and they share all about the best rides, food, and how to navigate the parks with low wait times (rope dropping!). They have interesting guests and I love their trip reports. They’re funny too!
These guys are AWESOME!
Derek and Doug are fun to listen to, very informative of all things Disney, and you can just tell that they genuinely just want to be helpful to other lovers of Disney. This is the place to go for tips and tricks and everything in between! Plus some laughs!
5 Magical Stars!
Derek and Doug are a joy to listen to. Down to earth, knowledge and truly good people. 10/10 recommend this podcast! - Jen and Angela, Magical Mommy Monday Podcast
Sam’s trip
What a special trip report! Thank you for sharing!
Everest
Well that was terrifying!
Random Party Of One
Always an informative and entertaining listen, this show balances news topics, interviews, games, trip reports, and planning strategies. Their recent trip report about Disney in the age of COVID has been immeasurably helpful as I plan my trip next week (even though I’ll be a Random Party Of One). Their passion for Disney is evident, and the McKnights are truly wonderful people (haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Derek in person yet). Give them a listen... and thanks for keeping Disney magic in my daily life
Fun Podcast
Fun Disney vacation fan podcast with some great tips mixed in. Used those tips on our last family trip to help make the most of our short stay. Still listening to each podcast for more information and really enjoy the enthusiasm they have for disney vacations.
Perfect podcast for a Disney fanatic like myself!
Thank you Rope Drop Radio for making such an entertaining and informative podcast each week! You guys do a great job of mixing in everything from games, to trip reports, exciting guests and more! I love listening to your podcast on my runs! Each episode I learn something new, keep updated on the parks, and always get a good laugh in! Thank you for your dedication - your love of Disney shines through! Hope to see you at the parks soon! ~MacKenzie from Minnesota
A wonderful podcast!
My husband and I love listening to this podcast! I am really happy he found it! It’s so fun and informative and we have a great time listening! I really love the eating on a budget episodes! My husband and I love playing along! Highly recommend to any Disney enthusiast!
Lots of fun to listen to!
As a fellow Nebraskan and #disnerd, I love listening to you guys. Your podcast is informative, funny, and helps me stay up to date with all the info and news coming from the Disney Parks! Keep it coming! P.S. you’re both wrong, Mickey beignets are the best Disney snack!
Always Entertaining
The podcast has really kept us excited about everything Disney during 2020. We enjoy hearing about your experiences at Disney and love all of your special guests. Your insights on food and attractions help us try things we miss when planning a trip.
Fun Podcast
Derek and Doug (McKenzie) are goofy and fun to listen too! Rope Drop Radio is an awesome pod cast. They share great information and make excellent recommendations. I enjoy the excellent and interesting guests. RDR brings a little Disney into our lives each week and in these times we could all use a little more Disney in our lives! Thanks for all you do. Look forward to meeting you at the rope one day.
Disney Magic
This fills the Disney hole in my heart between trips. Helpful tips and dad jokes. Keep up the great content.
A magical podcast
My trip was cancelled in April 2020 but Rope Drop cheered me up! I appreciate the mix of banter and education that Rope Drop gives me. Great information that is relevant and makes me want to plan another trip, hopefully this one doesn’t get canceled 😝
Great Pod
Great podcast!
This podcast...
I can’t speak highly enough of the level of podcasting that goes on at Rope Drop radio headquarters. Derek and Doug have put together a fantastic show for anyone that loves Disney. The guest interviews, trip reports, and over all chemistry make this one of the best podcasts out there. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
A Disney Fans Must Listen!!
I’ve listened to many Disney podcasts and Rope Drop Radio quickly rose to the top as one of my favorites! Derek and Doug are so much fun to listen to as they pass along their Disney wisdom. I cannot wait to try out rope dropping during our next Disney visit. Great podcast!!!
🐭✨MAGICAL✨🐭
The feeling is absolutely magical. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. I am so humbled and honored to have been guest on your amazing show. (RDR 210: Cast Member Interview With Andy) Everything about the show is wonderful and magical at the same time. Amazing topics, questions and so much more all Disney Related. Another Big Thanks To The Amazing Hosts Derek and Doug. Thank You Both for being so awesome doing what you do in making so many happy and bringing smiles to peoples faces. 🐭✨”OH BOY.” “AW PAL.”✨🐭
Show hosts can’t read, but still a great podcast!
Hopefully you can read my last name correctly guys. If you’ve gotten this far pat yourself on the back Doug. You did it! But seriously fun pod about WDW. I too am an avid rope dropper primarily at Disneyland resort. Keep nappin’ !
Disney Fun
Rope Drop Radio brings out all the fun in Disney that we may be missing while stuck at home right now. From insightful tips to fun games, these guys know how to celebrate all things under the Disney umbrella. I only started listening recently, but I have downloaded several shows and subscribed. Keep making that great Disney content!
✨Bringing You the Magic✨
Anyone can put out a Disney podcast but only a handful are worth listening to. Rope Drop Radio is the Disney podcast you should be listening to every week. Even after being around for 3 years, they still manage to come up with fresh ideas for shows. Thanks for bringing the magic every week guys!
RDR
They are so funny Doug and Derek are my favorite people to listen to in my free time and they give us so many tips
Fun show for Disney Fans
Doug and Derek are great hosts that have great show with lots of great Disney topics and guests.
Great tips and tricks
Doug and Derek, Thank you so much for the great tips and tricks. I love listening to Disney news and The friendly banter. Thanks again for the great podcast.
Rope Droppin’ in the Car
My husband, son, and I live in Missouri, and usually are only able to get to WDW once a year. We live vicariously through you when we’re in the car for any longer than fifteen minutes. With only 140 days left until our next Disney trip, we are gearing up for some more fun, and are thankful for your insight and knowledge so we can rope drop efficiently on our next 8-day park trip. Thanks so much for bringing Disney into our home!
Funny + informative!
I’ve been nearly binge-listening for a few days now in anticipation for our August 2020 trip. I love Doug and Derek’s humorous rapport, and so do my kids! They actually ask me to reply certain moments when we are listening in the car. I’ve even gotten my husband to listen to your Rope Drop + Reverse Rope Drop strategies episodes! Thanks for keeping it fun while also keeping it informative!
They scratch the Disney Itch
These guys are great! Not only do they have great Disney advice. They are funny and honest. I look forward to every Friday when the new pod drops. They help me stay in touch with the magic between our trips. Keep up the great work guys!
Disney brothers from another mother
So, mostly Doug and Derek help me get away to a better place as I’m stuck in traffic on my way home, but last week I found myself listening while I was jogging around crescent lake on a business trip. It was so fun to hear a trip report while I could see Epcot in the distance. I was so inspired that after my run I rope dropped the shipwreck waterslide at the Yacht Club. Yeah, I'm that guy. I think Derek's and our families will be on the same cruise in November. Hope to meet up on board. Until then, keep killing it with the show.
