4.8 out of 5 stars from 678 ratings
  • Too much time in between episodes

    I love this podcast because they focus on a unique part of Disney World history (such as cameras), but only giving it 4 stars because they take time between episodes. The last episode was from the first week in July, and that was only a 30 minute one. You need to be more frequent. Also I agree with one review about the inconsistency of audio levels amongst the speakers.

  • On board since the beginning

    As far as Disney world history is concerned this is the best podcast out there. If you’re looking for current Disney contact this is not your podcast. The length of the show are great and sometimes too shot.

    I can put up with any audio difficulty considering you just four guys doing it because of your love for WDW.

  • Right in the Feels

    This podcast really takes me back to my family trips as a kid. I was also pleasantly surprised to hear the BTTF episode since I worked on that ride for a few years out of college. Good work!

  • Detail!

    I’ve been listening to this show since maybe episode 5. They are the best at research. They are the best at interviews. I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this show before.

  • FIX. THE. AUDIO.

    Please fix the main hosts audio. His audio is always 5x louder than the other three hosts. Eardrum rupturing loud with headphones on.
