Am I missing any other major WDW-related Podcasts for park attractions and strategies?

 

[DOOM1001]

Not a podcast but I make sure I watch the weekly Attractions Magazine YouTube show every Thursday,I also subscribe to the magazine.Every once in a while I'll also listen to the Mickey Miles podcast for Run Disney talk.

Be Our Guest podcast

 

[Jennasis]

Be Our Guest is pretty good (but my top 3 are WDW Radio, DisUnplugges and Inside the Magic)

I find myself wavering on listening to these podcasts. Some of them seem to get a little too close to Disney and turn into more subtle promotion than informative.

That must be a tough line to balance.

My favorite is the irregular but highly informative "Disney Dish Unofficial Guide Podcast" where Len Testa essentially winds up Jim Hill on a topic and lets him go. By "informative" I mean, "gossipy".

Next favorite is WDWtoday which is regular as clockwork and quite methodical and informative in their coverage. They get a lot of interesting viewpoints from their team of podcasters.

I also check the feeds for WDW radio and WEDway radio and listen to them occasionally when the topic is interesting.

Hands down, my favorite podcast is Be Our Guest. They are true Disney fans and just the sweetest people. Very informative, too. I love that they don't have egos and are very humble. During their Q&A shows, they really dig into the questions to answer them.

I also like WDW Today...but I am really starting to despise their Q&A shows. They zip through the answers (often one sentence on a very debatable topic with pros and cons such as resort or restaurant recommendations) and are often WRONG on anything related to tickets or the nitty gritty on FP+ or memory maker.

I agree, the Disney Dish podcast with Jim Hill and Len Testa is really fun to listen to.

I tried giving Lou M's podcast a chance, but it seemed too much like a Disney commercial for me.

I listen to Mouse Chat...it's a fun, laid back show...but they have one podcaster who is bombastic and tries to dominate the whole show.

I just got into Inside the Magic in the last few months...that is a good show, but I find myself fastforwarding through all the interviews.

I started out just listening to the Dis, but I've expanded. I still listen to the Dis, but I really enjoy some of the other shows out there where the focus is more on the parks and the news, rather than the hosts...if that makes sense. Not a dig on the Dis...but they have quite a different style.

I used to listen to WDW Radio with Lou and had to unsubscribe - he seems to be too much of a self-promoter and sugar coats everything Disney does to keep him in the good graces of WDW. I find myself listening to Inside the Magic and the Dis Podcast as they both seem to give honest opinions of the Disney company.

In addition to those already mentioned

Wedway radio
Wdw news today
The Disney good blog podcast

 

[Suvadoo]

Unofficial Guide's Podcast with Len Testa and Jim Hill is my favorite. It's more of a history lesson about the Disney company. I really learn a lot.

Dis Unplugged is next, especially if they're focused on the news.

WDW Today is all right, but the Q& A shows are really repetitious, and the show length prevents good discussions on some topics.

I am a big fan of the Dis, and also love Lou's WDW Radio. While I agree he is extremely pro-Disney, I tend to be the sam way and so I enjoy it.

 

[Dug720]

I don't mind Lou's as I have actually learned some stuff. BUT - big caveat - I refuse to listen to his live restaurant reviews. An hour plus of listening to people chewing their food and talking with their mouths full?? No thank you. I can't even make it 5 minutes. So when I hear "live restaurant review" (or something similar), I just slide that little dot forward to the end on my iPod. I can't believe other people haven't complained about that to him - or enough other people he's figured out to STOP doing it "live".

I ADORE those live reviews.

How do you stand all the lip smacking? Maybe I was brought up strangely, but I was taught that is extremely rude.

It just doesn't bother me, but I can understand how others might be put off by it.

 

[DisUniversal]

I like Be Our Guest and the Unofficial/Disney Dish one with Jim Hill and some episodes of the DIS unplugged. Can't stand any podcast where it's just one person talking for an hour...don't know how anyone can listen to that. Greatly prefer a 'roundtable' type format or at least two people doing the podcast.

 

[Richard M Nixon]

Oh wow, I didn't realize where the Dis unplugged stood in the ratings. I thought it was a big show, but ITM has an order of magnitude more followers. I didn't even know they existed.

 

[CanadianPaco]

I have really enjoyed MouseQuest! It is really well done and informative!
