Rate ShowEntertaining and informative
During my pandemic-induced Disney World planning mania I’ve found this podcast both informative and funny. These two Disney dads are entertaining and intelligent, with just the right amount of self-deprecation.
I must say though, I was inspired to write this review because of a recent lightening round answer. I disagree so much with the idea of Gaston being “misunderstood.” On the contrary, he is the worst villain of any classic Disney movie. The worst villains (in movies and in real life!) are the ones who try to pass themselves off as heroes.
Now Hook.... That’s a villain who embraces his role as the bad guy, who we all can agree to lovingly root against.
Hope you gave yourselves negative points for the Gaston answer (don’t let those cinnamon buns fool you!) and hope you are having a magical vacation.

Fun for the whole family
It would be too bad if Doug didn’t have anything to read. Plus adding another 5 star review will hopefully help someone else find this good humored and informative podcast. (Actually, my wife is typing this but it’s still a great show.)

Loads of Disney Fun!
Love this podcast, very fun & light hearted! Learned so much about the parks, but also about cruising! Makes me excited to keep planning my trips!
My only suggestion is for the podcasts to not exceed 45 mins. As someone who likes to sit (sometimes drive) and listen it is hard to keep myself in one space for an hour or more.

So Happy I discovered RDR
I’ve been listening to multiple Disney podcasts religiously for the last several years. RDR has quickly moved into my subscribed feed and I look forward to the new episodes. Keep up the engaging banter, and your great takes on Disney. G

Disney Dads Unite!
Finally a podcast about Disney from a Disney dad perspective. I just found this podcast the other day and have listened to about 15 episodes already. I am so looking forward to my stay at BLT this July, and listening to this show makes me want to go tomorrow. The only thing missing is a happy hour LOL!

A great podcast to help brighten your day!
As a Spotify user, I started listening to Rope Drop Radio during the recent months. Derek and Doug never fail to brighten my day with positivity, optimism, and Disney magic. Very appreciative of their dedication to the podcast and always coming out with new content!

Love the Show
New listener since the beginning of the new year! Love the content and discussions. Love some of the guests as well. It’s great to be planning a trip to Disney again and this has been an invaluable resource! Personalities are great, shows have great topics, I can’t say enough good things about what I’ve heard so far. Looking forward to planning my next trip with this podcast and the tools/experiences they recommend.

Highly recommend!
Rope Drop Radio is a great family podcast! Doug and Derek have such a great sense of humor, even though some of our favorite episodes were when the kids were on the show.

Love this show!
I found this great podcast a few months ago. You can tell that there is a lot of hard work put into the podcast to keep listeners in touch with all things Disney. A tip of the hat to Derek and Doug for a great job.

Get to 300!
Stole my wife’s phone and noticed she hadn’t written a review for these two guys! WHAT THE WHAT??? Derek and Doug have worked really hard to create a podcast that is informational, fun, and unique for Disney fans. We have listened to them for years, and they bring it week in and week out. Give this podcast a try, because you won’t be disappointed.

Disney and dad jokes
I listen to a lot of Disney podcasts and recently added Rope Drop Radio to the mix. Derek and Doug are a fun dad duo to listen to - lots of great tips for planning a great trip for families.

One of the best Disney podcasts
Derek and Doug know and love Disney. But you can tell that it’s not just the rides or attractions they love - they do the podcast because they just love talking to each other about Disney. Unlike some other Disney podcasts, there’s no pompousness or arrogance, they’re knowledgable but don’t take themselves too seriously and the friendship is real.
