    I’m a Fan!
    This is my favorite Disneyland podcast. It feels like listening to friends! My fam and I are DisneyLAND regulars but we’re on our way to Disney WORLD in just a few days! We’re most excited about Tower of Terror, Muppet Vision (RIP) and all of AK! Your DW episodes have helped me tremendously! Give Erin and Katie a listen! You won’t regret! PS Did I mention…your sound quality is great! No floppy mics at all! 🤷‍♀️

    Thank you, ladies!
    Thank you both for this awesome podcast. I am a new listener, since I am taking my first trip to Disneyland this October. I am a Walt Disney World girl all the way. It is interesting to hear the differences, and also the similarities, of the two parks. The biggest learning curve I’m going to have is that my magic band will not open my Disneyland resort room. Why do you think that technology has not made it to California? So weird in my opinion.

    Best Disney Podcast Ever
    This is my favorite Disney podcast ever. I’ve been going to Disney my whole life biannually and Katie and Erin really help me fill the void. I started listening in October 2024 while planning my families first Christmas trip. I usually listen on Spotify but (park)hopped over here to leave a review! I’m planning my grad trip to Disney for June and Katie and Erin never get boring. Thank you ladies keep it up!

    Helpful and Fun!
    I found this podcast when I was looking for info on WDW Lightning Lane strategy. I ended up becoming a fan and a subscriber, and now I’m even considering Gumball Rally next year. Erin and Katie are so funny, and I learn so much about traveling to Disney properties. P.S. Erin - I work for an attorney and I do identify with your experience of people being openly hostile to your entire profession. For what it’s worth, I love going to the dentist and think hygienists are angels on earth.

    The best!!
    Love these ladies and this podcast! I don’t have many people in my life who love Disneyland and want to talk about it all the time like I do so I look forward to this podcast every week! Thank you Erin and Katie for what you do 🫶🏻

    LONG BEACH AIRPORT!!
    I can't thank these amazing ladies enough for helping me plan several Disney trips! They've also introduced me to the gem that is Long Beach Airport. As a Disneyland enthusiast who doesn’t live in California, finding this airport for my Disney travels has been a game-changer. Not only are the prices unbeatable, but I also had the best Bloody Mary of my life at Boathouse on the Bay. Thanks for showing me LGB—I’ll never go back to SNA or LAX. Love you all, and I’m a big fan of the show!

    Great Disneyland Podcast!
    Fun podcast with a great sense of humor. Love the insight, practicality, and appreciation for those of us who are budget minded. I’ve learned a lot just from listening. P.S. Great runDisney episode. And, yes, Halloween Half was very hot but our names were announced in Angels Stadium :) Go runners!
  • AliceDub
    So much fun!
    I found this podcast shortly before my first Disney visit last year after a long Disney dry spell. Erin and Katie’s podcast gave such great tips and tricks for navigating the parks like a pro. I look forward to new episodes every week. I learn so much, and their passion for Disney is contagious. Thank you ladies! You’re the best!
  • Melinlv
    Simply awesome
    Katie & Erin are awesome
  • HHousden
    These Disney Fanatics are the BEST!
    Been listening to Katie and Erin since the beginning! So many helpful tips, real opinions and insights on all things Disney but especially Disneyland! All with a great sense of humor, love the menu reading and the “Dear Disneys”! Great podcast to listen to whether you’re taking your first trip or when you’re jonesing for your next trip! Thanks for all you do ladies! Keep up the good work!

    Best Disneyland Podcast
    I started listening to these ladies after my summer trip to Disneyland as a way to lessen my Disney post-trip blues. I have devoured just about every episode since and put all of their amazing tips and advice to use this last weekend, during one of the busiest times of the year. Without them, I know this trip would not have been nearly as fun and memorable as it was. Now I have them planning my next trip in May! They are by far my favorite podcast these days- fun, funny and informative. Thank you for sharing your love of Disney with us!

    Loving your podcast!
    Listen to every episode, every Friday! I have found so many great tips from your podcast! Favorite one this year was riding the front of the monorail with my 2 yr old grandbabies! They loved it! Core memories! Next on my list is the Candlelight Processional.

    Start the New Year planning your perfect Disney trip!
    Happy New Year! I’ve been listening for the last year or so and take so much joy in hearing Katie and Erin talk everything Disneyland. I’m still working my way through the entire catalogue and love how they cover everything from the basics to unique interviews. Best Disneyland podcast out there.

    Like listening to an old friend
    Listening to Ropedrop & Parkhop is like being stuck on “It’s a Small World” — but in a good way! The hosts are so full of Disney knowledge and enthusiasm that you’d swear they’ve been eating Mickey-shaped waffles for breakfast every day. It’s almost feels like I’m sitting on the couch with an old college roommate as they tackle park hacks, Disney drama, and hidden gems with the precision of a Jungle Cruise skipper nailing a cheesy pun. The banter is so entertaining, you might find yourself laughing out loud in public—so prepare for strangers to look at you like you’re a churro short of a snack cart. Whether you’re planning your next trip or just need some Disney magic in your week, this podcast will leave you grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

    Been listening for about a year and it’s just like talking 2 friends about everything Disney.

    Our go to source for all things Disney!
    My husband and I road tripped to Disneyland from NH this year, and Katie and Erin were with us the whole way! Their podcasts aren’t just informative. They’re FUN. Our trip was a success thanks to their immensely helpful tips and insights.
  • Courtw77
    Best DL podcast
    Listening to Erin and Katie is like hanging out with your best Disney friends. Love all their Disney updates and even more so their friendship. And they’re super awesome kiddos. Without a doubt my favorite Disney podcast. And of course have to mention amazing travel advisors.
  • KSearl
    A Go-To Podcast
    I have been to DL lots and feel really comfortable in my routine and how things work. But I still listen to every episode Katie & Erin put out, regardless of if I have a trip coming up or not. I feel like I’m listening to my own friends and I love my weekly dose of Disney!

    Feed the Disney Obsession
    I first got into this podcast when I was prepping for our family’s first Disneyland trip in June. Neither I nor my wife had been in nearly twenty years and we were excited to have our daughter experience it for the first time. I went through the planning episodes and felt so prepared. After the trip, I kept listening and binged all the episodes. Katie even helped me plan a Christmas trip where we got to take my parents. Listening to this podcast truly is like hanging out with some fellow Disney obsessed friends. Katie and Erin are knowledgeable, entertaining, and, from the interactions I’ve had with each of them, very kind. I’m glad to have found their podcast.
  • Tmw715
    Entertaining AND informative
    I’ve been listening for awhile now even though my trip had come and gone and didn’t realize how much I was picking up. But then I took a spontaneous trip and was behind Philander and his group today in line at DCA. I don’t think everyone else knew they were in the presence of greatness! Thanks for your podcast for teaching me so much and entertaining me at the same time!

    Love These Ladies
    I love listening to these ladies talk about all things Disney. I’m not even sure how I found this podcast, but I have been listening since the beginning and love listening every week. When you’re listening, it feels like you are just sitting talking with your best friends. I wish I had a Disney best friend like they have each other. (I can’t wait to hear this review read in 2027 😉 And the answer is yes, I am still listening 😊)
  • AshleyEdwards14
    My Fav Disney podcast
    I love these two ladies! I look forward to hearing them every Friday! I also appreciate how quickly they (I believe it’s Erin!) responds to you on instagram. I have never been able to do a meet up in the parks with them but I love that they do that. Listening to the rope drop kids is also super fun! Any time we go on vacation or we have a Friday off and we are traveling in the car my entire family listens to you guys! Keep up the good work and please never stop this podcast because it’s one of my favorites and definitely my Disney favorite 🫶

    The one I always return to
    As a previous Southern California resident and magic key holder, finding a podcast to fuel my Disneyland love was important. I have listened to many, many Disney themed podcast but Ropedrop & Parkhop is the one I continue to return to. Katie and Erin do a great job of keeping their listeners up to date on Disneyland news and finding interesting topics to keep us entertained. Keep it up ladies!
  • mum2jandp
    Your search for the best Disneyland podcast ends here!
    I found RD&PH back when my family lived in the Bay Area. As the Disney planner in the family, I’ve read/watched/listened to most Disneyland news sources out there and I can honestly say that this podcast is the most informative and most entertaining of them all. I think it’s the rapport between the two hosts. Their love for each other and for Disneyland is obvious and genuine. Our family now lives 45 minutes from the parks and we are all Magic Key holders. I consider myself a Disney expert and I still listen faithfully every week. Seeing a new episode in my podcast feed is a highlight of my week. Kudos to you, ladies!
  • jawajax
    Love these girls!
    I have known Katie and Erin for years and listened to them talk Disney every time we got together. When I heard they were starting a podcast I was so excited that they were following a dream. I started listening as a way to support my dear friends but learned quickly their podcast was not like many others. They are knowledgeable and share so many great tips. They are funny and real, not monotone and dry, they share the good and the bad without being negative. Katie and Erin truly love all things Disney and it shows each time they release a show. I LOVE every episode. My family and I are binging currently in prep for our first trip to Disneyland and know this podcast will make it go smoother. I am so glad these ladies followed their hearts and dove in to do this podcast! ❤️

    My favorite Disney podcast
    This is definitely my favorite podcast about Disneyland, and in my top podcasts about anything really! It doesn’t matter if I’m actively planning on trip or just keeping the magic alive until the next one, I find myself listening to it every week as it makes me smile! Katie and Erin feel like good friends I’m catching up with while I drive my kids to school or take a kid-free walk by myself haha. Thanks for all you do! And I bet I’ll still be listening when you read this review on an episode 1-2 years from now.

    Disneyland Fix
    I stumbled on this fun podcast when I was looking for a Disneyland fix when I can’t be physically at the parks. My work week usually starts on Thursday and I make sure that l listen to the new episode on my drive to work to fill my cup with Disney happiness. Thank you for bringing DL magic to me on a weekly basis.

    Review from a dude
    Great, informative show with a couple of gals that have great chemistry!
  • MamaLysss
    Most Magical Podcast!
    I absolutely love this podcast and can’t recommend Erin and Katie enough! My family and I are going on a multi-generational trip in February and could not feel more prepared after binging all of the ropedrop episodes! This will be my first trip back since my childhood and I’ll be taking my two year old and 8 month old and feel way more confident after listening to all of Erin and Katie’s tips and tricks. Along with giving you all the information you need to create the dream blueprint for each Disneyland trip you take (Disney vet or not), this podcast is also filled with fun banter, honest opinions, and open minds and is a blast to listen to! It’s helping me stay sane while I eagerly count down the days until my trip and I’ll still be listening once my trip is over to keep away the “Disney blues” until I can plan my next visit! Love you ladies and keep up the good work! (And yes, when you read this I’ll still be listening 😊).
  • lowpbop2002
    So fun!
    As a Disney World person planning my first Disneyland trip, finding great Disneyland planning podcasts has been challenging! Finding Katie and Erin has been the best! These two are my favorites! They are so much fun and informative!

    Your Disney BFF’s
    I enjoy this podcast so much. It helps me keep up-to-date on what’s going on currently at Disneyland and it’s like getting to spend a bit of time with some good friends who loved Disney just as much as you do. I look forward to hearing you read this review on the podcast two years from now. Lol 😂
  • Wmscott24
    Great podcast!
    Katie and Erin are Amazing! I enjoy the podcast so very much. Lots of information about Disneyland in a great format. I feel like they have done a wonderful job of developing a community through their podcast. I look forward to each episode. Thank you for being awesome!

    I Plan Trips Like I’m Getting A Degree In Them
    I eat, sleep, and breathe the vacation destination. Current object of obsession: Disneyland. Your podcast is feeding my need and teaching me so much. I find myself taking notes each episode. As a fellow 1980 baby experiencing adult-onset motion-sickness, I so appreciate Erin’s cautions. Thank you for the Disneyland lore, the practical tips, the food advice, and especially the real talk. So happy to keep listening.

    All things Disney!
    I found Katie and Erin’s podcast last year when planning our first trip during Halloween season. Wether you’re new to Disneyland or are a repeat trip planner, this podcast is perfect for you! I love listening even when I don’t have an upcoming trip to get a little taste of that Disney magic. 🪄 I’m now listening while planning our first trip for the Christmas Season, with our 2 year old, and am loving all the extra tips & tricks I’m learning for the holiday season. Thank you, Katie and Erin, for bringing us all a little Disney magic each week! ♥️

    Disney planning experts
    Wow! These ladies know their stuff and I have learnt so much about navigating the Disney insanity. Planning my first trip for this December, I’m confident that armed with all their info I’ll have a fantastic time!
  • Kirsten1984Forever
    Like having friends help you plan your trip!
    I started listening to this podcast after we booked our first trip to Disneyland this year and WOW it has been such a help and a delight. We just finished our trip and I was able to enjoy the trip a lot more since I learned how to do so much in advance and knew so much about the park before going. My friends had given me advice but it all paled in comparison to what I’ve learned from listening to this podcast! From snack and meal recommendations, to navigating the app, to buying fuel rods (amazing), to rope drop logistics - this podcast was a lifesaver. Save yourself hundreds of dollars by listening to them and not hiring a Disneyland trip planner. I will now continue to listen for fun and look forward to their episodes each week. Thank you thank you!

    The best!!!
    I was looking for a new Disneyland podcast to listen to and I was sooo lucky to come across this show. Hosts are fun and positive. Thank you !!!
  • Sarahchristine14
    Look forward to each week!
    I am a Disney World girl and I love getting my parks fix through podcasts. However, there are only a few podcasts that I feel like are well done and informative enough that make the cut for subscribing to. When we decided to book our first Disneyland trip, of course one of the first things I did was look for podcasts. I am so happy I found this one! I learn something new every week and it is so pleasant to listen to Katie and Erin! Thanks for all of the help you have already given me for our August 2025 trip!

    Best Disneyland Pod!!!
    This is a fabulous way to learn everything you need to know about Disneyland, AND be entertained at the same time. I’ve listened to this show since the beginning , and I’m still finding nuggets of Disney wisdom in each episode. Note- this review was not generated by ChatGPT. A real, live fan wrote it. Keep up the good work, ladies.
  • Appelbaum24
    Come for the info, stay for the fun!
    I started to listen to this podcast when I went to Disneyland last year with my sister for Christmas time. These ladies had me covered with menu readings AND episodes about what to do at Disneyland when it rains. I’m still listening a little under a year later and they’ve quickly become my favorite Disney podcast!
  • Courtish1
    Not Annoying
    I couldn’t think of a better way to express why I have binge listened to every episode of 2024 and will likely keep going, other than to say this show about Disneyland is rare for Disney podcasts because the two hosts aren’t annoying. They are earnest and honest and there is a warmth to them that comes through in everything they talk about.
  • tnm78954668
    The best!
    I just started doing the research for our Disneyland trip and I’m so thankful I find this podcast. Thank you ladies for your hard work and sharing all of your amazing information and knowledge! I plan to continue listening even after our trip! I look forward to your podcast every week!
  • AliciaC1986
    Hey
    Thanks so much for sharing your Disneyland experiences because I’ve always been to WDW we will be going for two days next year in October. Listening to y’all makes me so excited to go

    Happy feels
    I’m a big Disney dweeb who grew up going to Disney World with my family and most importantly my amazing Grandma who passed just a couple of years ago. She made sure to infuse our lives with Disney Magic and this podcast has become my weekly dose. I recently started visiting Disneyland and am obsessed with how intimate and approachable it is compared to the parks in Orlando. It simply does not get enough credit and I love how Erin and Katie give Disneyland its well-deserved flowers on a weekly basis. Their podcast is informative, kind and mindful. Thank you ladies! - Sara from Oklahoma

    Fun and Friendly Disney Tips!
    I found RD&PH during my first Disneyland trip planning in early 2023. I love to get a touch of Disney news and information even when I have no trips on the books. The kids’ episodes are really fun, and I like the friendly banter between Katie & Erin. I still tune in weekly even for just the Boise weather report! Desperately missing Disneyland at this point!
  • CPalmberg
    The Best Disney Podcast Bar None
    I listen to this podcast every week on my drive to work. Erin and Katie are awesome podcasters and even sweeter people in real life. They keep me updated on all the goings on at Disneyland since we can’t visit that often. Thank you ladies for sharing all your knowledge so that everyone else can have their best Disney trip too and for bringing the magic to us every week.

    Best Disney Podcast Ever !!
    I grew up going to Disneyland as a local but since moving to Georgia in 2005 I rarely get to go ! I am planning a trip for July with my boyfriend and it will be his first time going ! Not only has your podcast been very informative on all the new changes but it has brought me so much joy ! Thank you so much for giving me an ounce of Disney everyday leading up to the trip !!
