Great podcast on a fabulous topic! Derrick and Doug know there stuff and are very entertaining
Great Podcast
So glad I found this podcast. Helps fill the Disney void in between trips. Doug and Derek are so relatable for Disney loving families like mine. Keep up the good work guys!!
Funny and informative
I probably won’t be going back to WDW for a while and this podcast fills the void. Filled with honest reviews and funny commentary, this podcast is great for Disney fans.
Attention Disney Fans!
If you live Disney this podcast is a must!! Derrick and Doug give honest opinions about all things Disney. Additionally, there is humor and good- natured banter between the two!! Great job guys!!
Helpful and humorous
I found these guys looking for podcast to plan for our first family Disney cruise. They are super entertaining while being informative on all things Disney, give them a listen. But don’t listen to the first 40 or so I’m taking their word for that. Also kudos to doug for wearing a KC Royals shirt in Paris. Way to represent the Midwest!
Keeps me in the Disney bubble
I have two boys, 12 and 9, and just willingly downloaded and listened to an entire hour about Strollers in Disney World. That's how entertaining, knowledgeable, and engaging these two guys are. Keep up the great work!
My favorite podcast
So first off, I totally love you guys. A few months ago, I started listening to podcasts to get away from daily news and picked Disney since I’m a huge fan. I learned about you guys when Derek was on DCL Dude last year. Still getting caught up with you guys but this show is my favorite Disney podcast. If you ever guys ever want feedback on Shades of Green, we’ll be heading there for 10 days at the end of August and can answer any questions for you. And one last thing for Doug, I hope you tried the Epsom salt remedy ;)
My new favorite podcast!
I just recently started listening to podcasts and I am so glad I stumbled upon Rope Drop Radio. I am binge listening to as many shows as I can get in (Although I’ve stayed out of the early years as directed for now!). I thoroughly enjoy how you give your true opinions and the easy banter (bromance!) between you two. I chime in my two cents constantly as you guys talk, so it’s like we’re already friends! Keep up the great work!
Love these guys - with one problem
I’ve recently found Doug and Derek and have been binge listening (shows 30 and up only 😉). Just one little problem. Every time I think I have my next trip planned out, they talk about something new that I have to do. So back to the planning drawing board. Thanks for bringing some pixie dust to my time in the car!
Tips and Tricks Galore!
Nate and Serena here, aka DVC Duo. We can't recommend Rope Drop Radio enough. Doug and Derek as hilarious and entertaining. It's the perfect podcast for planning your Disney trip. We're glad we added them to our Disney podcast rotation.
Added to my rotation
I listen to A LOT of Disney World podcasts, and this one is very entertaining. Doug and Derek have a good chemistry. A real JD and Turk type bromance that works pretty well. They have some pretty polarizing views, but that adds to the entertainment. Their love for all things Mouse is evident in their discourse. 2 thumbs up.
Magic for the rest of the year
Absolutely love these guys. Just found the podcast and I am hooked. We took our son to the WDC for the first time last year and it totally awakened the Disney fan in me. Now I’m in total “how do we get back there mode” and the tips, tricks, perspectives and reviews in this podcast are fantastic. Planning on going back in the podcast archive to listen n my car as I do slot of driving. (Don’t worry I’ll start in the 40s) keep it up guys. Great work. Thanks for keeping the magic alive.
Really Fun Show
Derek and Doug are super entertaining! This podcast is so enjoyable and full of great Disney insider tips. Make sure to add this podcast to your library for a little extra Disney Magic.
Could’ve talked for another hour!
Doug and Derek are not only fun to listen to but fun to talk to as well! We thoroughly enjoyed our Podcast interview and sharing our tips on their platform. Their humor and love for Disney is contagious!
Fun Disney Fix
I have been listening to Derek and Doug for a while now and it really helps fill in the gaps between my disney trips! I enjoy all the useful info, the trip reports and the guests! We have our first Disney cruise coming up this summer and I am loving all the tips on DCL. The hosts of the show are funny and relatable and I love how they find the positive in everything!
They’re in several top ten Disney World podcast lists- for a reason!
Heading to WDW in May 2019 and have been gathering tips and information like it’s my JOB! Discovered Rope Drop Radio on some top 10 lists and do not regret giving it a listen- I’m hooked! These guys seem to really enjoy the parks and are not afraid to gush like school girls over the good stuff, or to complain like grumpy old men over the not-so-good. I love it! Keep on keeping it real guys, and thank you!! -MJ
What a find!
I am the dad of a family of four that has traveled to WDW seven times in the past eight years. I have learned a lot over those trips, but there is always more to be had. In the online world, there are a lot of people offering crap Disney advice. These Cornhuskers unequivocally know their stuff. They strike the right blend of comedy, truly helpful advice, and make fun of themselves as any father with kids should. I highly recommend that anyone thinking about going to see the mouse, listen to these podcasts. We are planning our eighth trip there this summer, and I listen to the podcasts during my commute. It’s like they are in the backseat traveling with me. Keep on keepin’ on guys.
Great Show and lots of laughs!
Derek and Doug have such a good time and make you part of the fun! They have great information and trip reports on both parks and my favorite DCL! This is definitely one of my favorite Disney podcasts! Keep up the great work guys!
Love listening to your show
Derek and Dr. Doug are so fun to listen to! I could talk to Dr. Doug for hours about Disney. Everything that they talk about is extremely helpful, even for the experienced Disney goers! My husband and I are Disney vacation club members and I still learn something new with every episode! I am one of the listeners that went back to episode one and have listened to nearly all of them now! Thank you!
Good Friends Talking Disney!
These guys are great and offer a wealth of Disney knowledge! A must listen when planning a trip to Orlando! Clever topics and unique guests. This is by far my favorite Disney Podcast.
Informative and Funny
My fiancé and I had the pleasure to be part of their show and they were phenomenal. They were funny, clever, and had a lot to add to the conversation. They KNOW Disney and we’d highly recommend giving them a listen.
Knowledgable and friendly
I love listening to Derek and Doug! They do an excellent job of sharing their knowledge about Disney while still remaining down-to-earth and personable. You'll enjoy their banter while getting prepared for your next Disney trip.
Helpful, Fun, and Magical
After booking a trip to Walt Disney World with my family of 12 I searched for good Disney podcasts and found this one. Both hosts have a great energy and knowledge that makes each episode worth listening. I went through all the old episodes and caught up to current day! This podcast makes you appreciate the little things at Disney and make you want to keep going. In fact, I ended up booking a vacation with my friends before I even took my trip with my family. Both trips being over the podcast helped me make the best out of each trip. I also used their travel agent to book my honeymoon in Disneyland and can’t wait! Keep up the good work guys and thank you for everything you do!!
Great podcast! One of my favorites!
This is my favorite travel/Disney podcast. Doug and Derek are great together and you can see they put a lot of effort into the broadcast. Really informative and fun. I enjoy listening when I am planning a trip or just wish I was going to Disney.
Disney Planning at its Finest
Enjoy listening to Doug & Derek, so positive and funny. Whether you are a seasoned Disney vet or a rookie, you will find this podcast informative and entertaining.
New Listener
Since I’m Disney obsessed, I subscribe to numerous Disney podcasts. I recently found Derek & Doug, on Rope Drop Radio, & they quickly made their way to a must listen. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love Rope Drop Radio
Such a fun & informative podcast. Enjoy “spending time” with Doug & Derek. Keeps my Disney infatuation “in-check” in between WDW trips.
Grand & Miraculous!
Doug and Derek are entertaining and down to earth! Amazing first hand knowledge & tips to share to make your trip the best! Humor that will make your day brighter! They have Great Guests on to share stories, trips and more!
Hilarious & Informative
These two guys have great chemistry on air, giving the listener engaging and helpful information for planning a Disney vacation without being stuffy. Super funny and chill, I recommend a subscribe and download for anyone looking to fill their Disney bucket!
The Podcast I Didn’t Know I Needed
I stumbled across Rope Drop Radio by happy accident before Christmas and I’m officially addicted. Derek and Doug are hilarious, knowledgeable, and passionate, making them the perfect storytellers as you get yourself in the Disney mindset. Plus, their tongue in cheek approach to taking the park as two grown men is absolutely hilarious. What I would give to see Doug pose for a solo character pic by himself based on what they’ve said! Definitely tune in to Rope Drop Radio regardless of if you’re planning your next vacation. It’s the Disney Dose that you desperately didn’t know you needed. PS ... if you need to put a smile on your face, check out the Bonus Episode where they mic up Doug on Space Mountain! Home boy doesn’t do well on rollercoasters but he takes his journey into space like a champ while giving you all the nostalgia you crave while planning your next vacation. Epic!
