Best Disney Podcast
Incredibly entertaining with a lot a great information about Disney.
Practical and Fun podcast
This may be my favorite Disney Podcast. Doug and Derek are the right amount of informative but fun, a little “Disney dorky” yet relatable. While big Disney lovers, they don’t approach it with a cheesy “all is perfect” attitude as some do. They give you honest and helpful strategy and advice on parks, rides and dining and are willing to share their frustrations as well as the many things they like about Disney World. Plus their back and forth Banter is entertaining and keeps things flowing well. My only complaint is that I want a rope drop to nap Time shirt before my March trip and it’s currently not available! We plan to utilize their rope drop tricks and strategy when we take our two young kids to Disney next month.
Must Listen
I have been going to Disney World since the 70’s, I also listen to SEVERAL Disney podcast. This is absolutely one of the best if not the best one out there. No matter how much I think I know I always learn something new when I listen Derek and Doug. This Podcast is for someone planning their first trip to Disney or their 100th trip to Disney. On top of that they are fun to listen to and are the guys I would love to hang out with when visiting WDW.
Favorite podcast for the car
Rope drop radio makes my hour drive every week not so bad! I actually look forward to the trip knowing I get to catch up on what’s going on in the world of Disney. They do a great job at giving Disney advice from a parent’s perspective, which I am new to with an 18 month old. Thanks for always keeping Disney on my mind. Keep up the great work 👍🏼👍🏼
So impressed!
Doug and Derrick put on a great show. With a little bit of humor they give a realistic take on Disney and break down how real people should do Disney. But I was so impressed after listening for a couple weeks - I sent in a question about my upcoming trip and I got a personal answer back. They got my question after recording a “listener question podcast” and took the time to message me back and answer my question. They both have jobs and families and I was so blown away by this! Thanks again
Great listen
Upbeat hosts who give useful tips and different aspects of vacationing at wdw and Disney cruising. A variety of topics and guests keep shows fresh.
Best Disney Podcast!
I have been trying out many different Disney podcasts and this is clearly one of the best! I love their honesty and humor as well as all of the practical advice they provide for the Disney Parks. They make my drive to work truly enjoyable and give me the Disney fix I need between trips.
Finally A Disney Podcast Done Right!!
I can’t believe I finally found a podcast that centers around their listeners desire to hear all things Disney. Doug and Derek are Jedi Knights when it comes to keeping their podcasts on topic. I have abandoned all other Disney podcasts for Rope Drop Radio. You truly understand when it comes to a great Disney podcast...”This is the way”.
Great podcast
This podcast is a wonderful balance of loving all things Disney while also being realistic about traveling there! The two hosts work very well together.
My Favorite!
Definitely my favorite Disney podcast! I love how relatable they are and love hearing the podcasts that involve tips with children. They help me get excited and organized for my upcoming trip! Keep it up guys!!!
Wonderful World of Rope Drop Radio
I just love Rope Drop Radio! I started listening when I was planning my honeymoon at Disney World. I grew up in California going to Disneyland but WDW is a whole other ball game! Derek and Doug’s tips are invaluable when learning about the intricacies of Disney transportation, dining plans, resorts, fast passes, and all the best Disney eats! This podcast is vital for any Disnerds out there! Put on those mouse ears and have a listen to the wonderful world of Rope Drop Radio!
Every week is magical with RDR!
I love listening to Rope Drop Radio! I visit Disney World frequently, but I still go through Disney withdrawals when I’m not there! These guys not only help fill that void, but they help me stay up to date with Dis-news. They are also always making me add items to my never ending, always growing Disney Bucket List! Whether you are planning your first trip to Disney or are an annual passholder who visits regularly, this podcast is for you!!
For new and seasoned Disneyphiles
Listeners can learn something new to make your next trip different and/or better!
MICAH please move to Florida with us
Love listening to these guys while im knockin tree work out of the park. Both Derek and Doug are thoughtful and intuitive in whatever they're discussing. Tons of great advice, especially for doing Disney parks with kids! 10 out of 10 podcast.
Disney fix
Appreciate the banter and chemistry between these two. Thanks for helping me get my Disney fix between trips!
I'm already feeling the magic!
Found this podcast on a list of best Disney podcasts and I would definitely agree! Doug and Derek are a dynamic duo and I glean new information from every episode. Looking forward to Rope Dropping with my husband and 5 year-old in September and have every detail I'd ever need to know about the parks, our resort (Pop Century) and the best transportation tips and tricks! All thanks to you guys, guests and the Rope Drop Queen! Keep up the great work and GBR!!
Great Duo
Love the podcast. Doug and Derek are a great duo and they play off each other well. I haven't listened to all the episodes, but the ones I went back to for specific topics weren't that bad. Even the really early ones. 🤪 I love that you do both parks and cruises; plus you travel with kids and are honest about that whole situation. Can't wait to hear more.

Love your podcast grate energy so funny and just love your podcast you guys also have the best personalities. Love you guys
Great Disney Energy and Knowledge
Derek and Doug do a great job delivering Disney advice, stories, and energy in diverse and unique episodes. They should revisit their favorite rides and restaurants by parks though, that would be fun!
Great podcast
This is a really good podcast for anyone interested in Walt Disney World topics. A ton of good information, news and well balanced opinions between the hosts! Definitely a fun and easy listen! Keep up the good work!
Magical Podcast!
Such a great Disney podcast. Perfect for newbies and amazing information for the Disney addict! I love listening every week to help plan my next trip and make the days until then go by faster!
Helpful Info
Since I booked our trip I’ve become a Disney information junkie. I’ve listened to several Disney podcasts and Rope Drop Radio is my #1. The hosts are funny, easy to listen to, and the information is clear. I know I’ll be prepared for our trip when the time comes thanks to the podcast. Thanks!
Entertaining
Good info for beginners, entertaining for enthusiasts
An honest fun podcast for all levels of listeners.
Thank you being a fun podcast w/ honest feedback w/out all the drama of Twitter. You guys make my drive fly back as I listen. (If you listen please don’t read my full name. Please read it as my Twitter name: DVC Mary DVC_99. When I got a new update all my previous iTunes reviews went away, so now I get to give reviews all over again.)
Love to listen
Derrick and Doug are great to listen to. They have entertaining stories for all occasions and always great information.
Great Listen
Stumbled upon while trying to plan my first Disney trip in 15 years and first as a parent. Great relationship between the two hosts. Episodes have great info. Highly recommend.
Addicting!
I’m listening to the podcast planning my 21st birthday trip as a broke bartender and hearing the guys tell everyone to tip their servers really excited me! I’ve been listening to the pod for a month now and I’m on episode 92 😂 keep up the good work guys
YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!
These guys have have a great chemistry and will feed your hunger for WDW. Therefore I am giving you all 5 stars. However, their fanboy levels of love for Starbucks and dislike for an obviously superior product, Joffrey's is not just baffling, but downright obscene. Do you all not drink actual coffee in real life? I feel like anyone who prefers Starbucks bean water over signature Joffrey's blends might be a little unbalanced. Is this a cry for help? Regardless, if I see either of you rope-dropping a Starbucks in the park, I swear on me mum, I will tase you. As WDW park secret service, I feel like it's my job to keep the standards high.
RDR Saved My Marriage
Derek and Doug, My family has done the land, and WDW, and a 4 night DLC trip before. But now, it’s getting serious. Three separate week long WDW vacations in one calendar year! My wife (Dole Whip Patreon) is the primary Disney trip planner of the family. But thanks to Rope Drop Radio, I now have the knowledge to play an active roll in planning our family vacations. From selecting a resort, and where to do character dining, to planning our Fast Passes. You guys discuss fun and interesting Disney topics and also share some great insider tips. Keep this informative and hilarious podcast going. I started listening in 2019 but am catching up on older episodes as well. Enjoyed episodes 1-40 😁. Okay, you might not have actually saved my marriage. But, this July in the Magic Kingdom my wife did say, “I’m so happy you understand the Disney lingo now, I’m glad you are listening to Rope Drop Radio.“ So maybe... We usually listen separately, but always discuss later. Can’t wait to use more of your tips/tricks. Go Hawkeyes
Best Podcast Ever!!
I discovered the Rope drop guys searching for a podcast to fill my Disney void. The guys are great, knowledgeable and very relatable. I have a family of 5 like Doug and my best friend also happens to be a dentist. We have done some Disneyland trips together that are eerily similar to Derek and Doug’s adventures. Check them out for Awesome Disney content, adventures and laughs.
