I stumbled upon this podcast about a year ago - just after my family’s first Disney trip. I have been many times and fell in love all over again after experiencing it with them for the first time. Doug and Derek are down to earth and fun to listen to. I really enjoy their listener question episodes and how well they get along when chatting all things Disney. We just wrapped our 2nd family trip and have a 3rd one on the horizon. Listening to this podcasts in between vacations helps keep the Disney magic alive! 😊

So Fun!
Doug and Derek make my drive to work so much more fun! I love to listen about Disney and even though we go frequently I still learn more about Disney from them! My favorite episodes are when they discuss the TPS reports or updates about the parks and future!

Lots of fun and lots of knowledge
I know alot about WDW and love WDW so much, but these guys add a little bit more. I always learn something new. They are fun to listen to and are always at the top of my listen list.

Top of the class
I’m not sure when my families next trip will be, but I know I’ll be ready after listening to your podcast. Thank you for not turning the podcast into a travel agent ad. I can handle the reference at the beginning and then it’s right to Disney world content. Just how it should be. Keep up the great work.

Love the show!
I have been listening to your show for a couple of years and just love it! Derek and Doug cover Disney so well! You’ve inspired me to start my own Disney podcast this year with a friend. Thank you!

Great!
An excellent Disney World travel resource. I like how articulate and concise these guys are. It’s not rambling and self-indulgent like some others. Thanks!

Rope Drop is Fantasmic!!!
New listeners to Rope Drop radio as we have an upcoming Disney World trip forthcoming. (Our 3rd trip as a family to date). Listened to just about every 2024 episode to date along with the 1st episode (when traveling to/from youth sporting events). Derek and Doug provide great insight on everything Disney via their own experiences. We are not entirely sure if Derek’s love of PizzaRizzo is real or not to date??? My son thinks we have to try it out on our upcoming trip. 🧐🤨 Anyways our family highly recommends. Keep up the great work fellas.

A Couple of Cinnamon Rolls
As someone who’s not usually super excited to listen to a couple of midwestern dads chat, it should probably mean something that this is one of my favorite podcasts. Derek and Doug are weirdly charismatic and their Disney World content always feels fresh and engaging, as well as informative. Thanks for helping me navigate the Disney Parks!

The First Plaid Vests of your Disney Experience
Doug and Derek, the dynamic Disney World duo, give all of the best tips and ask for so little in return. As I listen to their podcast, and take in all of the great tips and tricks that are passed on, I realize Derek and Doug are my first VIP tour guides through the Disney Parks. So much so that I have convinced myself that they are wearing the familiar plaid vests (worn by Disney VIP guides) every podcast. They give a range of tips that help you plan every facet of your Disney trip; resorts, restaurants, park-hopping, and special events are just a few of the areas they provide pro tips for. Their rope drop (and reverse rope drop) strategies and tips for using Genie+ are the best you’ll find! So much that you believe you’re getting insider tips from the best. And this is all before the charm of two dads who love their families share their family friendly comedy and funny stories. Whether you are a regular park goer or planning that once in a lifetime trip, this is the podcast for you.

Rope Drop Radio is the best!
Since we’ve starting planning our large family WDW trip for this summer, I’ve been putting on Disney podcasts for tips whenever I’m out running errands. Doug and Derek at Rope Drop Radio strike the perfect balance as Disney podcasters. They have great on air chemistry in addition to being interesting, informative, and funny. But they are also realistic and you can trust that they’re telling it like it is -the good and the maybe not so good. Rope Drop Radio is my favorite Disney podcast by far! Thanks Doug and Derek for all of your hard work and I’m going to ask for that extra cinnamon roll icing!

A must-listen podcast before you go to Disney World
I was planning my family’s first ever vacation to WDW and was in a panic about Genie+, LL’s, navigating all 4 parks and prioritizing attractions. I found Doug and Derek’s podcast, and I’m so glad I did. I had such a great time listening to the podcasts—laughing while learning. I just came back from my trip, and I completely mastered the rides system with the tips from this podcast. My kids kept talking about how much we “rope dropped” each day. I’m grateful for all of the help! Doug and Derek are A+ genies!

The best!
After a crazy busy trip to WDW in February 2023, I knew it was time to do some Disney research and plan another trip. Enter Derek and Doug and Rope Drop radio! Thanks to these guys, I learned all the ropes (get it?!) about rope drop, Genie+, lightning lanes, and nap time! I was so confident that I scheduled a mommy/kids rope drop trip for August and we had the most amazing time! These Disney dads are fun to listen to and funny! I’ve been enjoying the back catalog and joined Patreon to get even more crazy stories. 10/10 recommend!

Dad’s that Disney
It’s nice to hear a male/Dads prospective on Disney. As a Disney Mom whose spouse despises talking Disney, I appreciate you!

Good Old Fashioned Disney Content!
My husband and I started listening to help plan our first WDW trip in March 2023. This podcast played a huge part in the success of our trip! Derek and Doug showed us the way of the rope drop and we have continued rope dropping after becoming Magic Key holders. Even though we do not have a WDW planned in the future, we continue to listen to relive memories from our trip and to plan for future ones!
