I’ve been listening to the Rope Drop Radio podcast for about a year now, and I appreciate the details they share about the Disney parks. Some of my favorite episodes are their trip reports.
*This review is written in honor of Doug riding Tron.

I am new to Disney podcasts and Rope Drop Radio is the best part of my morning! I literally laugh all the way to work. Disney has changed so much since my last visit so I’m learning from D-Squared! I just might have to break up with Universal now…

Fantastic Show
We are first time Disney goers planning an October trip. I have listened to other podcasts and some are more sales pitchy or even at times political commentary, and I am not here for that. This show has been so informative to help me plan the most stress free vacation possible for my family. Thank you both!

Great Disney World Information!
I took my daughter to Disneyland for her 3rd birthday and I am convinced Disney World needs to be our next Disney adventure. Thanks to you guys I feel ready! I would love some tips on tackling the parks while adjusting to the time difference California to Florida.

Fun way to stay in the Disney bubble
Love listening to RDR for trip planning, and to help with the post trip let down. Keep bringing the wives on, too!

Still listening every week!
I started listening early 2022 to prepare for our first Disney trip. Derek and Doug helped me knock it out if the park! I love their humor and their subject matter never gets tired. The only Disney podcast that I continue to listen to after our trip. There are lots of options out there- when it comes to Disney these guys are the best

Great perspectives and just enough humor!
The Rope Drop crew have found the right balance of info, entertainment and little bit of poking fun at one another. Thanks for the great listen!

Insider Baseball for Disney fans and vacation planners
D & D are the best, they have first hand experience and expertise to share on each topic that they discuss. The RDR pods are always entertaining and educational for every Disney fan.
This Podcast is the best.
If you are preparing to drop a bag of cash at the house of mouse… the weekly listens are a must and easy to become a fan.

Rope Drop Like a Pro with Rope Drop Radio!
We went to WDW in October 2022 and leading up to our trip I found this podcast. As a fellow Midwesterner, it was fun to hear these two Disney Dads. They legit know what they’re talking about. Our trip was so successful and this podcast was a huge part of that. I still listen to this podcast post-trip and love when I have a new episode show up on Fridays. With Derek and Doug you’ll be equipped for a great trip to WDW and will be prepared to Rope Drop like a pro!

This shows advice works great!!
Just wanted to drop a quick Thank You for this podcast. I binge-listened over the last few weeks while planning our trip. Using this shows’ advice, we had an awesome day Rope Dropping Magic Kingdom yesterday hitting more rides before 11am than possibly the rest of the day! Thanks again for helping our trip be a success!!

Must listen
This is a must listen if you are planning a trip to Disney, or if you’re just a Disney fan that wants to partake in the magic.

Great info from fellow Disney lovers!
Been listening for a couple of weeks now and really enjoying this podcast! I like that neither guy claims to be an expert, but rather guides listeners to make well-informed choices before going to the parks. Many folks don’t realize that a Disney trip takes a lot of pre-planning, and these guys cover every possible scenario you could encounter on a trip. This is truly a *magical* podcast!

Gold mine of Disney World info!
Our upcoming Disney World trip is going to be even better, thanks to this podcast. This is an absolute gold mine of info to help you get the most out of your trip. I have planned out each day’s rope drop and lightening lane strategies, which foods to eat, and even what things to skip. These two are a hoot!

Gym Buddies
I came across this PodCast when starting to plan my 3rd (and 4th Disney trip). They have quickly became one of my favorite PodCasters and definitely my favorite Disney one. Listening to them talking about all these Disney while I am at gym, is the push I need to keep going. I love the genuine honesty these Dad provide and that Disney is not always all PixieDust. Listen to them, you won’t regret it. 🏰✨

The BEST
This is by far my favorite Disney podcast in all the world of Disney podcasts. So relatable, so engaging, and gives me my weekly dose of Disney until I can fly back to Orlando! Great job guys!

Definitely worth your time
Derek and Doug provide great information while also keeping you entertained. Their knowledge and experience is a great tool for anyone planning a Disney vacation. Every week I’m anxious to see what they’ll discuss on the next episode. I was a D&D nerd in high school…..and these two have made me a D&D (Derek & Doug) nerd all over again!

Enjoyable and useful in so many ways
As someone who is pretty skilled at planning a Disney vacation, this podcast is still both extremely valuable and amazingly entertaining. Derek and Doug are fun to listen to, are completely honest and relatable, and give very good advice. I’m fairly new to this show, but I’m glad I found it. Thanks for all the hard work!

Best Disney Podcast
First I would like to start off by saying that I never use Apple Podcasts, I am an avid Spotify user and I am going out of my way to write a review on here, so that should tell you all you need to know. I am going on a big Disney trip during the first two weeks of April this year, doing all 4 parks as well as Universal Studios. I have done extensive research beforehand to make the most out of my trip, which includes listening to multiple Disney podcasts. Rope Drop Radio is by far the best one, and it’s not even close. Not only is it the most informative and best organized podcast for park information, it is also the most entertaining. Derek and Doug are two great conflicting personalities that mesh extremely well together, it’s exactly the dynamic you look for in a pairing of hosts for any medium. Thanks guys for the entertainment and helping to make my Disney trip even more magical. Keep up the great work, it is appreciated by far more people than you know!

Great Show!
I have been going to Disney for years and have been a DVC member since 2019. This show has been helpful to find some things I may have not known about or done. Planning on going in October of 2023 for my next trip. Keep up the great work and if you ever need a guest for the show I’d be happy to share my input on Disney!

Genuine and Useful Podcast
This podcast provides a real look at the Disney parks, the highs and the lows. They give easy to follow tips and advice based on experience. They are inclusive to the first time park goer as well as the annual pass holder. Derek and Doug seem to have a lot of fun recording these podcasts, which in my opinion gives them the edge over any other Disney podcast available.

Can’t get enough
I started listening last year when planning our Spring break trip. Super informative and helpful. I was so prepared for the trip my husband bragged about how it was the best Disney trip we’ve ever had! Since then I can’t stop listening. We love going to the parks and when we don’t have a trip planned, I just listen to Doug and Derek to get my Disney fix. Thanks for a great show!

Good show
These guys make me relieved to know that I am not the only Disney fan obsessed with park layout and rope dropping. Very informative show.

Incredibly helpful
We are planning our second Disney trip and our first was so wonderful in large part due to Doug & Derek. This time I have no doubt it will be the same. Thank you for all the advice and laughs!
