Listener Reviews

I love this podcast! I am in the process of planning a 2023 trip with a group of 12 and so many of the episodes have been so helpful to get our plans rolling. Would love to see an episode on how to approach Disney (lodging, genie, dining, etc) for a large group. Thanks!Jill

Derek and Doug are the best! Honest feedback, amazing tips, and they’re super candid which makes you feel like they’re you’re good friends from Nebraska! I have particularly enjoyed their Genie+ feedback as my trip approaches - I have listened to episode 313 more times than I remember!! Thanks for continuing to bring us awesome info and advice, Derek and Doug!!

Love this show. It’s so informative but also a lot of fun to listen to Derek and Doug. They are Disney enthusiasts who are honest about all the great things about Disney, but they acknowledge the bad and the ugly too. The name says it all… if you are “rope drop” people you know you have to plan ahead to have a great Disney experience. So this is your podcast. If you aren’t “rope drop” people, you NEED to listen. Thanks for a great show for all of us Disney prep junkies.

I am not a dad, and I don’t have kids, but these guys are still so relatable!! Friendly vibe and good advice!

Hey guys love the videos and have been a big Disney guy ever since I was 2. Love listening to the podcast otw home from college. Keep it up

I stumbled upon this podcast while planning for my solo trip to Disney January 2023. And I’ve gotten lots of tips and advice. Thanks guys

I came across this podcast after my trip to Disney world last fall. It is one of my favorite podcast and can’t wait for a new episode every week.

News, reviews and a little dose of the magic to get you through the dark ages until your next trip.

I discovered this podcast while planning for a trip and I’ve been hooked ever since. Derek and Doug provide some great advice and insight on all things Disney. The podcast just feels like a couple of dads talking Disney. As a fellow dad who loves Disney, I can appreciate that!

I really appreciated this show for all the advice and trip reports! These guys are so incredibly relatable dads and have great banter. My trip was made so much easier because of these guys and the tips they shared… unfortunately I couldn’t get the family up and moving for rope drop but the reverse rope drop episodes were clutch! I’ll keep on listening as we save up for our next trip!

We are headed to Disney World for our first time. This has been so helpful in planning and getting a good idea of how to navigate the parks. I would love to hear an episode of Mickey’s Halloween Party. Thanks for all the good info!!

Hey guys love the podcast I listen every car ride home from college. Growing up as a Disney kid it’s fun to flashback and listen to this great podcast! Keep up the good work.

I love your podcast! I became sort of panicked when I saw how quickly my Disney trip was approaching and I had not planned that much (the last time we went was 2015). I’m in the car an hour a day so I thought I’d try a podcast to make sure I’m caught up on all the Disney dish. I tried a lot of other podcasts and you guys were by far my favorite. You give good general information and insider tips in a fun and entertaining way. You guys definitely got me ready for my trip and I can’t wait to experience Disney World again.

I started listening to you guys right before my most recent trip to Disney and have been hooked on this show ever since. I’m always excited to see what the newest episode is going to be about. Overall a great entertaining podcast if you love all things Walt Disney world.

These two gentlemen took the time to join us on Black Spire Broadcast, and they host a fantastic show on all things Disney! Highly recommend!

We took our kids (ages 3 and 6) on their first Disney trip and I can say definitively that this podcast made a HUGE difference in our trip planning! I’ve heard a lot of complaints about recent Disney changes (genie+, lightning lanes, etc.) but thanks to Rope Drop Radio I was totally prepared, knew exactly what to do, and we had the best trip ever! We already booked a trip back and you can bet I’ll continue listening! Thank you so much!

Enjoyable and informative.

I just found your Podcast and love the practical touring advice you provide. As an avid rope dropper your perspective is very insightful. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do!!

I enjoy listening to Doug, Derek, and their occasional friends/guests. Down to earth and relatable information that anyone who listens will be able to learn from whether your a newbie or a veteran to Disney World. Love the trip reports the most(more, please) 😀

Listening to Derek and Doug talk about Disney almost makes me feel like I’m at the park too! Been listening for a little over a year now and I can say this podcast is 100% my favorite. Thanks for everything you do to spread the magic. 🎇✨

What’s a great podcast! So so helpful in planning your trip. Love the practical advice and fun conversation! Really great listen

Informative. Fun. Friendly. Rope drop radio is the best listening experience when searching for a Disney podcast. Everyone should be listening to this show. From Rich.

Ignore the negative review guys, the show is excellent! Derek and Doug are both charming, informative and kind. Keep up the good work. Ps, my wife and I are heading to Disneyland for the first time ever next weekend.. any first timer tips for a WDW regular?? -Dan from Michigan

Very useful info on managing your trips to DWD. Love the banter. One of my favorites. I always smile when I see it in my queue.
