My favorite Disney podcast, will be yours too
Humorous, knowledgeable podcast that will get you ready for your next Disney trip. I’ve been an annual passholder for years and still get so much information out of these guys! Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great Info!
This podcast has been a wealth of information and help in planning my upcoming Disneyworld trip.
Perfect Balance
So unlike Lanette, I believe perfect should be paired with 5 stars! 😂 y’all really are great. I like that you’re real too, and not just always just praising Disney. You’re enthusiastic, and I don’t have kids, but can relate to y’all! I look forward to listening to your podcast because it makes work SO much better. Keep it up brothers.
Glad I found this show
I love living vicariously through this podcast as they get to Disney a lot more than I do! Enjoy their input, honesty, and tips on all things Disney. Keep the episodes coming, guys!
Fun and informative!
I’ve listened to my fair share of Disney podcasts over the past year, but only recently found Rope Drop Radio. I had been missing out for sure and am now powering through past episodes. These guys are fun, know their WDW stuff - and they are fellow Nebraskans, which makes them even cooler. A must-subscribe if you are planning a trip or just need to get your Disney World fix.
Funny and useful
Derek and Doug are a great pair. I look forward to each new episode. I’m a seasoned Disney traveler but still pickup useful tips from them. Thanks guys!
Perfect Blend
Rope Drop Radio is my favorite podcast by far! Derek and Doug provide a perfect blend of humor and expertise on Disney. This podcast has relevant content for both new and seasoned fans. Thank you and keep it up!
Funny + great Disney advice
Doug and Derek are such fun guys who make talking Disney not only informative but entertaining. They know their stuff and have a great time along the way!
Everyday is a magical day
Great Podcasts! Most of my friends, family and coworkers are non magic folk☹️. It is so great to be able to listen in on the Disney conversation. Thanks D & D.
Best prep for a WDW trip!
Thank you for all of the great rope drop and Genie+ tips and tricks! It really helped make our park days more magical!!
The best Disney podcast
Love the honest reviews of Doug and Derrick. A little Disney review and a lot of humor. Where I come for my weekly fill of Disney :)
My Favorite Disney Podcast!
This podcast is informative and fun to listen to. Derek and Doug are extremely knowledgeable about the parks and always come up with fun ideas for episodes. They do many trip reviews which are not only entertaining, but keep the listeners up to date on the newest happenings at the parks. If you are planning a first trip to Disney or you are a return visitor, I recommend you give this podcast a listen. You will not only learn something new, you will be entertained as well!
Best Podcast for WDW/DCL planning!
Started listening to this podcast years ago as I was planning my first Disney cruise. 4 cruises and 2 WDW trips later Derek and Doug are still my favorite Disney podcast to listen to. They’re super informative and entertaining. I love the banter between them. I even find myself laughing out loud by myself on my car drive. I feel so prepared and ahead of the game about genie+ for my next trip! Thanks for all the great Disney World tips Derek, Doug, Michelle, Madison and guests!
Hilarious and Accurate!!!
Guys! You are so fun and entertaining to listen too! And I always learn at least 1 thing every time I listen. I’m training for my 1st RunDisney event for next year and your podcast is in my top 5 for my runs. Last week I had to stop and laugh out loud about the Dad jokes that Derek shared about filling up the car at the Speedway!! I love that he did a Dad/Daughter trip and let her choose the day! Well, I’d love it and hate it at the same time with my kids TBH. It’s about the memories right! Guys, keep up the hilarious banter, great honest tips and keeping it real! Ps- please explain more about Chewbacca mode for Smuggler’s Run!!! Inquiring minds need to know for future trips!

Been listening for awhile now, but finally writing a review. Doug and Derek do a great job of covering a variety of Disney topics without the podcast becoming repetitive or stale. The trip reports are great to fill that void between trips! My favorite Disney podcast out there, definitely give it a listen.
Best WDW podcast there is!
Funny and knowledgeable!
So informed and entertained
When we booked Disney we realized everything changed since last time we went (2020- pre COVID). I started listening to podcasts and following blogs. RDR is very informative and entertaining. I’ve only been listening for a few weeks and I already feel like I learned so much!
Love this Disney podcast!
I started listening to get excited for my upcoming WDW trip (We’ll be there in September so hopefully we’ll run into you!) and this was the perfect pick! I love Derek & Doug’s insight and banter and I look forward to the weekly episodes. I’ve already went back and listened to so many. I highly recommend to all Disney parks fans! Thanks for what you do!!
You guys rock!
Just got back from our week long first time Disney trip and it was amazing! This show (and Michelle) helped us to be able to master the parks and Genie+! Our park experience would have been a lot more different and stressful if it wasn’t for this podcast. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thank you!
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
My go-to Disney pod
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!!
Helpful and fun!!
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.
Charming!
I am not a dad, and I don’t have kids, but these guys are still so relatable!! Friendly vibe and good advice!
Best podcast
