Information but at a cost
This show provides good information about all things Disney, however, it comes at a cost to your ears. No pun intended Pam and Ricki have such irritating voices and verbal ticks it makes the show virtually unlistenable. I had enjoyed this show several years ago and left due to those issues, I recently tried to listen again and their skill as podcasters did not improve. Starting every other sentence with the word “so” or “umm” is not how to get things done. Mike is full of enthusiasm. I don’t know how there’s this many episodes with this high of ratings, but it’s not that good of a show. There are many that are equal to if not better than this one.

It’s truly a community of listeners
I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2017 and it’s amazing when I’m listening to the Sunday call in show and recognize the voices of callers because they call in and share their experiences so often. Also, I love the ornament exchange and Christmas card exchange. When I get that card in the mail from Scott and Rikki I really feel part of the crew.

Great source for Disney news.
Love the passion for Disney. Family friendly and always positive. Tons of great information from the hosts, guests and listener trip reports. One of my favorite podcasts! I really enjoy the Disney “drafts” they do. It’s a fun new twist. Live shows are a great way to interact.

Disney all day long
Great resource
I have been listening to this podcast for years. The team does a great job of both informing and entertaining. The enthusiasm never wanes. Even though our trip was months ago, I'm still listening. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Midwesterners
Many people from the midwest go to Disney world. I think you have to get out of the basement more. St Louis is not a small city. Go out and see it! Who knew he was from Missouri. Got old. Good bye.

What Happened?
Love this podcast but about a year ago Mike starting being so rude and condescending to Rikki. It’s really off putting and makes it uncomfortable to listen to this anymore

Top Disney Planing Podcast
Overall top Disney planning podcast. Partnered with The Magic for Less, the podcast brings hefty knowledge & experience to you. I have been listening to Mike & the crew since the beginning of time. They did daily shows during Covid to keep us, the Disney Fans, consistently engaged. If you haven’t listened to them yet, you have been missing the bus. They bring a little something for every type of WD traveler. Don’t forget to follow them in the socials. KMS Brooklyn, NY

Wonderful Disney Podcast!
This podcast has been giving me my weekly Disney fix since 2016. I love listening to Mike, the host, give his fun perspective on Disney and other things. He has a great podcast team that provides expert opinions on planning a sweet Disney trip. The best of all is how consistent Mike is with putting out his shows - I can always count on 4 shows a week! Give a listen, especially if you already have a trip planned!!

Perfect podcast for Disney a newbie or seasoned veteran
I started listening, and running during the 2020 pandemic. Mike’s daily half marathon runs was one of my inspirations that helped keep me motivated to reach my goal of completing the Dopey Challenge in 2022. I successfully completed the dopey challenge goal, ran with a lizard for a portion of the marathon, and never miss a episode. Mike, Pam, Rikki, and Scotty G keep the show fresh and engaging every week while keeping me up-to-date with all the Disney news. I will be running all three wine and dine races next weekend and plan on saving up some episodes to listen too for the runs. I am running for Give Kids The World and their recent show also inspired me to volunteer! Which I will be doing the morning after the 5k run. Thanks BOGP for making the Disney Fandom a better place.

So fun
Such a fun show. I work at 2am and I’m able to listen while I work - this show always makes me laugh. I feel like I know Mike, Pam, Ricki and Scott - even though I’ve never met them. The up to date info is also a great resource. Thanks for such an awesome show.

Thank you
Ever since finding this podcast, it’s been a bright light in my world. I enjoy listening while I walk my dog or do chores. It’s the perfect escapism. Thank you, Mike, Pam, Rikki, Scott, and the callers

Too much sports.
I’m a sports fan but they are over the top. I really don’t care about the weird obsession with college football. Also the trip reports they do aren’t helpful because they do them so late! A trip report for a trip that happened 9 months ago isn’t helpful.
Princess char
Fun, wholesome and informative!
Love this podcast and the BOGP crew! They always keep me up to date. Can’t wait for my next Disney experience. Mike is a super helpful travel agent, made our trips great! Thank you all!

WE DON’T CARE ABOUT SPORTS
Please stop talking about sports. No one is here for that. Also it would be great if MAGA Mike would tone down the vague racism.
Cakuiju
Stop the sports!
An amazing Disney podcast, the hosts are the best! And they know so much…they do so much for charity, we love them. But if you have your own patreon already, leave the sports talk there! This should be a Disney planning podcast please!!

Enjoyable show
The trip report episodes are great

Key show for planning an amazing trip!
The Be Our Guest Podcast has been an amazing show to help me plan two amazing Disney trips! A short 3 day trip with our family of 4 in May 2022 then a week long trip September 2023 with extra family members totaling 4 adults and 5 kids. The BOGP team offers the best planning tips and offer a variety of perspectives, all while keeping the show fun and positive. I knew what to expect, how to plan to help our crew have a wonderful time, and was able to navigate how to hit all major attractions. The BOGP is the best! Excited to have them to keep the magic alive until the next trip :)

Most weekly podcasts than any other Disney fan podcast!
Mike and co-hosts Pam, Riki, and Scotty G. are as fun and nice as they are pro-informative. Mondays are typically trip reports, Wednesdays and Fridays subjects vary, Sunday is a live interactive show with call-in questions and shared trip experiences. Tuesdays are a bonus show for Patreon supporters, “Mike in the Midwest “, with nostalgic stories about growing up in the Midwest. Highly recommend!

My favorite Disney podcast
I love this podcast so much. Keeps my Disney withdrawal at bay in between trips. And the hosts are just the best!
Mcfadden01
Entertaining and informative
Great Disney podcast which can be enjoyed by either a Disney rookie or veteran. Keep up the great work Mike!!!! I also think Ricky, Pam and Scott do a great job as well!! In a landscape of negative Disney podcasts, BOGP offers a positive spin but aren’t afraid to tell you when they don’t like something.
Beachclubfan
Fun & Informative Love BOGP!!!!
Be Our Guest Podcast is fun and informative. I love hearing the crew talk about their experiences as well as the guests they have calling in talking about their own trips. I have tried some new places and experiences based on suggestions I have got from listening. My favorite part about this podcast is that they are truly fans of Disney who have the ability to share their Disney Addiction with other Disney Fanatics!! Keep up the great work!

Long Running Show
One of the top Disney World planning podcasts out there. I’ve been listening for many years. These people are super knowledgeable and keep up with the latest Disney news.

Great show!
From listener questions to trip reviews Mike and the crew are a must listen in my Disney podcast rotation. They offer great advice and fun topics as well.

Ok, but…
Long time listener Hosts are knowledgeable and passionate about Disney. You do have tolerate two dorky dudes (who don’t realize they are m) and some quirkiness. Most of it is manageable, but at times it is too much. Mike…please stop acting the the Midwest is 50 years behind the rest of the world being from the Midwest does not make one simple, not fancy, uncultured, plain, etc. Do not continue perpetuate a Midwest stereotype. Stop referring to Scott as your brother from another mother and bff; you are not 11 years old.

Fantastic Disney Podcast
They primarily focus on Disney World, but do sprinkle in Disneyland, DCL and Run Disney. Very down-to-earth, unpretentious and positive. It’s like visiting your Disney friend 3 times a week. Lots of good info and just a lot of fun to listen to.
B Weck
Fun and Insightful
I really enjoy this podcast. I learn so many great WDW tips. I really enjoy listening to people’s trip reports and call ins. Mike does an excellent job hosting. I am thankful for the multiple shows a week. I look forward to new episodes dropping. Thanks for helping me get my Disney fix!

Definitely one of my go to Podcasts!
After a few years of listening, I’m finally getting around to actually writing a review. I’m a California native who’s been to Disneyland 20+ times and Disney World seven times. Love listening to the trip reports and lively banter. Mike does a great job of always keeping things upbeat and positive. This podcast was one of my favorites that got me through Covid isolation which is why I’m now a patron. God bless the entire BOG team!! 💛

Love This Podcast!
My weekly infusion of all things Disney Parks! Always positive and upbeat. Lots of fun tips, suggestions, and fresh ideas.

I listen to every episode
This podcast has kept me coming back for over a decade. What sets this apart from other Disney podcasts is that I find it to be the most interactive and listener-friendly podcast out there. Mike and the team love Disney and care about informing their listeners. They take the time to thoroughly read and answer listener questions and frequently invite guests on the show to share their experiences. They are so genuine and positive. They have a reliable show format that is delivered on a consistent basis. It’s great entertainment and I learn something new about Disney every episode. Plus Mike has an awesome radio voice. I highly recommend this podcast.

The best!
I love this podcast so much! I have been a listener for many years, and it is the only podcast that I listen to consistently. I am especially grateful for all the shows Mike put out during the pandemic when the parks were closed. It gave me something to look forward to during a very dark time. I like that Mike, Ricki, Pam and Scott are all so positive. The trip reports make me feel like I am in my favorite place, and I can often picture exactly what they are talking about. For example, when Mike and Scott talk about their time at Old Key West, I feel like I am there, eating at Olivia’s or relaxing by the sandcastle pool. This podcast has brought me so much joy. I hope this podcast continues for years to come.

Love this funny and sweet podcast
Having listened to Mike for months now, I feel he is the most positive person in the Disney podcasting world. I love the others as well. But truly appreciate how Mike can alway find a positive spin on any situation! Thank you for it Mike. I wish we were friends in real life!

Absolutely love this podcast.
I love all 4 hosts. I feel like it’s my good friends talking about my favorite topic. Brightens my day every time. Keep up the great work.

Hey Mike, do you run?
This podcast is getting exhausting. Mike interviews people but interrupts them to talk about his running. It’s really annoying. His aww shucks I’m just a guy from the Midwest who isn’t fancy, who runs, and has to justify why he eats his ice cream. Make. It. Stop.

Best Disney Podcast
The Be Our Guest podcast is my favorite Disney podcast. I personally love the RunDisney content and discussions the most, but generally it is just a wonderful, upbeat and positive place for all things Disney.

Perfect For Disney Lovers
The Be Our Guest podcast is my absolute favorite podcast out there. They provide content for all levels of Disney lovers from the ones first planning their trips to the veterans who go many times a year. Highly recommend! There are way more positive reviews than negative but, some of these negative reviews are ridiculous. The people behind this show have huge hearts and a big passion and put a lot of good into this world, give it a try before basing your judgement off the negative reviews. Not every show will be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s fine, but, just move on if you don’t like it. No need to put harsh words out there for people who work hard and put on a good quality show.

Always a fun listen
The team at BOG is always a fun listen and Mike being a Park people more then a all things Disney person is a great way to see how ours view the Parks and Disney at large. Topics fun and engaging and sometimes things I wouldn’t had thought about.

Friendly, upbeat,fun
I love this podcast. As someone said, it feels like family.

All around best Disney Podcast
Mike Rahlmann is the pro’s pro of Disney World podcasting. As a little podcaster trying to make it, Mike is my inspiration. His energy for Disney travel flows through the each episode. Not only is Mike’s passion contiguous, he’s an expert at his craft (Disney World info and as a podcaster). BoGP is a like an old reliable friend, it’s always there and it’s always ready to entertain. The podcast focuses on the WDW positives, but it’s an honest heartfelt approach. Pam and Rikki always add steady and informative perspectives. Scottie G is also a treasure and an awesome co-host to add to the team. Keep the great work BoGP crew!
