BRICKEY DOES IT AGAIN
Once again Brickey brings the phenomenal essence of Disney to life. He is amazing at being straight forward and honest about the company and knows how to say what the community is feeling. Not only that, he is able to convey the nostalgic feelings of Disneyland through his own story telling. One of the best Disney podcasts!

The pod for all the citizens of Disneyland!
If you are a Disneyland fan you will love this podcast. The details and in depth research he does shows through his immersive storytelling. He’s able to make you feel transported to the parks via the pod. Brickey never fails to put together high quality content & this pod is just another testament to that statement. If you are looking for Disneyland vibes you get an IV straight up through anything Brickey produces.

DL4D podcast is a must for lovers of Disneyland
I’ve been listening since the first episode as well as watching Adventures In Design (Now “Hey Brickey”) channel on YouTube. Great to hear the newest podcast episodes. Listening to Mark’s In depth thoughts in the podcast format is always a good listen and makes my day when I have an episode to listen to on a drive or when I need to escape while working. 1) Always want to hear Mark’s deep thoughts / analysis on what’s going on at Disneyland/TWDC. 2) Would love to hear Philander & Jarrod catch up episodes 3) There’s a lot of “Former” Imagineers since the Thanos Snap. Would be cool to hear Brickey interview some of them. I’ve listened to other pods do it but it’s always better when Brickey does it!

Disney Nerds Unite!
If you consider yourself a Disney nerd then this is your podcast. Each week shares an in depth discussion of topics related to Disneyland. From the parks history to tips and tricks of maneuvering the park, it is all here. Some information I knew and have enjoyed hearing peoples take on the topic but I have also learned a lot. Highly recommend the podcast! P.S. I originally wrote a review when I started listening but wanted to add that 2 years later I’m still listening and still highly recommend. In 2020 and looked forward to the bit of Disney magic Brickey brought each week. It was such a nice escape during those rough times. I’m so glad he has started back up with the podcasts because I have more time to listen then to watch (though I do love his YouTube channel too). Highly recommend this podcast for Disney fans who want more then just news but a discussion of the goings on.

Happy you are back
I watch YouTube and listen to podcasts, when I’m at work I really appreciate having a Disney podcast to listen to. Rachelle Adding to my last review, love the new HeyBrickey title of the YouTube channel. Loved the content with you and Adam in WDW for the 40th of Epcot. Can we please get an Adam podcast. I know he shares a lot on his channel, you have such a great way of interviewing for your podcast, I’d love to hear you interview him. One of my favorite episodes is you talking to Ordinary Adventures. Rachelle

Thoughtful and unique Disneyland takes
I thoroughly enjoy Brickey’s podcasts (and his YouTube channel). He is different than many of the others in the best way. He approaches Disneyland news and stories with a creative eye, a sense of humor, and a clear love of the park and it’s history. So glad he’s doing this podcast and all the other great content!
Fantasmic Four
It’s ~like~ the others.
These used to be so goooood. Now every episode has some sort of mention of his “modest” luxury lifestyle, his tesla, his poorly announced “esplanade”, how much he doesn’t care for kids, how he hates the rides but loves the land, how he never watched the movies and doesn’t care about them, how much he doesn’t want to work for Disney ever again, how he has the opposite take of the news headlines, how good he is at his job, how much he understands design, etc. He also tries to not get political but says SO many micro-aggressions. (Tw: blm, racism, transphobia) Do better, brickey.

Mark is the closest we have to Uncle Walt
Why do I listen to podcasts and watch YouTubes about Disneyland? Because I can’t go to the park very often and I’m looking to take a little vicarious trip. I’m interested in what is going on there because I have good memories from all the different times of my life. I love the place. I’m not wealthy. I don’t know anyone personally that belongs to special clubs or can afford to stay on property. Doing the park that way isn’t even remotely in my realm. Mark is the very best of all the choices out there of taking me to the park with him in ways that I can relate to and that I’m interested in. He asks the questions that I have too and surmises in ways that interest me. The podcast format is Mark at his best. The way that he uses sounds to bring his stories alive is wonderful. I’m so happy that he’s making these again. They are pieces of gold. Thanks Mark. Uncle Walt knew that there were gobs of us little ones who weren’t going to be in his park anytime soon. He found a way to take us there with him. That’s what Mark does too.

Thank you for Monday Magic!
Hey Bricky - Thank you for the weekly Monday Magic! Your insightful podcasts filled with your deep thoughts give me much needed company on my drives!
Jeff Bengford
Joy leaking from my eyes
The story that you shared about your father and the parade at the end of the last episode was beautiful. Every citizen of Disneyland has beautiful stories like this. Thank you for your hard work on this podcast. It’s a highlight every week to see a new episode hit my feed.

The Tunnel On The Right!
If you love Disneyland then this podcast is right up your Main Street USA. Host Mark Brickey, a loyal DL devotee, tells it like he sees it, mincing no words and pulling no punches. He passionately embraces the positive virtues and characteristics of this happiest of places, while not shying from constructively calling out its shortcomings and opportunities. While current episodes focus on ongoing developments and updates, an expansive library of past installments present a treasure trove of Disneyland’s history and Walt’s legacy. Add an occasional dash of Walt Disney World and related Disney info (corporate dynamics, movies/entertainment, IP analyses, etc.) and you’ve got a rich and robust mixture of Disney ingredients befitting the finest gumbo ever served in New Orleans Square. This podcast will be your Genie Max (to infinity and beyond!) as it taps into phenomenal cosmic power surpassing your wildest dreams. Best, most genuine Disneyland podcast ever IMHO. Mic(key) drop.

A must listen podcast!!
Mark brings great insight and opinions about all things Disneyland (ok and some WDW occasionally.) mark clearly loves the parks and doesn’t toil in hot takes. When Mark has a criticism it it well considers and honestly something you should pay attention to. Most importantly Mark brings heart to his podcast; if you are a fan of the park he will give you some of those feels you are missing. Mark has built an amazing network of fans. Come join us at Club 1313!!!

Happy to have you back
The only podcast I listen to when it comes to Disney. I love Brikeys take on Disney how we looks at it in a different way. I have my notifications turned on his YouTube and download ready when he drops a podcast. Thank you for what you do!

Love this show
Hey Brickey, So glad to have this format for your content. I tend to listen to your past episodes when I need to take my mind off stressful stuff and I love that the choices of what to re-listen to is growing. 💛

Return of the Bard!
I love this podcast! I can’t do video..if my kids see it they will stop and watch. I can and do sneak in a pod cast during the baby’s last bottle or in the middle of the night when one of my kids wants a snuggle. I love the new format..everything I want to know and presented by you! I’m still waiting for your Star Wars hotel review..I checked the podcast every week until you came back. Please don’t leave us audiophiles without your soothing brand of information dissemination again.

A Disneyland Podcast that "Reads Between the Lines"
I listen to more than a handful of Disneyland podcasts and this is by far my favorite one to listen to. I have never written a podcast review but I believe this one is well deserving of one and I really want it to keep on going. As someone that loves to follow The Walt Disney Company all around, I find Brickey's views and comments on just about everything the company does to be insightful. Not only does Brickey do a great job staying up to date with the Disneyland Resort, but listening to him break down the design and purpose of an attraction, land, building, etc also challenges me to understand the Disneyland Resort's intentions for myself and the guest experience. If you want to stay up to date with the Disneyland Resort while at the same time critically think about the past, present, and future of Walt's original Magic Kingdom (Disneyland), then this is the podcast for you.

Love that you’ve started these podcasts once again. Love to listen while driving or while at work.

New format is outstanding!
Thank you for all the wonderful Disneyland content you put out. I love your podcast and listen during my commute time to/from work. It’s informative and fun to listen too. You have great insights and are so creative.

One agreeable to my fandom.
Very impressed with Mr Brickey’s podcast as I’m spot on page with his point of view, except the part of not watching the movies, come on Brick, live a little and expand that view! My family goes, use to that is but will again, annually or more to Disneyland and no one could understand why I spent the money I did every year to be there. It started as a great family vacation, drive one place, park the car and have a blast for next week just playing. Over the years it has turned into exactly what you share and I love that I’m not alone in these thoughts. I see it as the place I want my kids to grow up in, where I want to live in. Where people will stand quietly and patiently in line for not a short time for a little bit of happiness with their family. Will stand on the sidewalks for hours to see a parade or at the Rivers of America to view the jaw dropping Fantasmic spectacular or in front of the castle to see those fireworks we’ve seen a hundred times and get chocked up every time. For that time we all get along and for the most part are happy citizens within the walls of Walts little city. People say it’s “escapism” I view it as the place that people want to be and see the best of what we can be all the time. I hope to see you on Main Street someday my friend. Thank for all your work, positivity, and optimism as well as clear honesty in sharing your thoughts on what is undoubtedly one of the shining spots on this amazing planet.

Love the New Format
Loved this latest episode and content from you! As a Disney fan who goes for the vibes and not the rides, but also as a black woman, I greatly appreciate how you are using your platform not only spread the magic, but also have those tough conversations about things that just don’t make sense and need to be changed. I look forward to more episodes like this. Cheers to you! 🎉
Miss Tee Teefuny
Love the honesty in this podcast!
It takes a lot of guts to be able to speak one’s mind about Disney, particularly in the way that this podcast’s host did in its most recent episode. Kudos to you, sir, for bucking the trend of “everything in Disney is awesome” and getting honest about issues related to racial justice and LGBTQ+ equity and inclusion. Please do keep it coming— I’m grateful for your voice in the conversation!
JollERancher
Love the vibes!
This is one of my absolute favorite podcasts! Brickey has a unique way of talking about my favorite thing about Disneyland, which is the art and design of the park. He digs deep into topics that go beyond just riding rides. I look forward to hearing each new episode!
mlstartz
Awesome
It’s right there in the title, great show for anyone who loves Disneyland and/or design. Passionate and knowledgeable, which shine their thoughtful commentary and blue sky armchair imagineering about what’s to come
ryanpmack
best ever
my favorite disneyland podcast. Brickey’s dedication and attention to detail and storytelling is top tier. He is a true disney design + history expert. Hope to run into him someday in the parks!
MissyDyan
Become what it set out not to be
It started as a design oriented Disney podcast. It would even openly mock the clickbait out there in Disney YouTube/podcasts with their endless top 10 lists, etc. But at this point, it’s just become another piece of Disney clickbait.

This podcast makes you feel like you're in the park!
I love this podcast. I am a cast member (corporate) and I haven't been to Disneyland in almost 3 years. This podcast has saved me, it makes me feel like I'm in the park and brings that warm, fuzzy magic back to my life :) Brickey is a fantastic host and I love when he brings Philander on. The background music is beautiful and he asks all the right questions for someone interested in design, the history of the parks, and just Disney magic in general. Keep up the great work!

Interviewer very self focused
Not a fan of this style of “talk show” myself. I feel the interviewer speaks about themselves too often, talks over the guests, and puts words in the guests mouths too often. Not my jam.
Not a "talk show"
Captivating!
Got introduced through watching best life and beyond and I am so happy to have found this podcast and YouTube channel! You got yourself a fan ✨✨
allthingsdisneypins
Thank you
Just listened to your episode with Best Life and Beyond on my morning walks. It was a great episode to listen to. I not only felt like we saw a different perspective of Katie and Spencer but I felt like I got to know you more as a creator and now want to go back and watch some more of your YouTube episodes. Thank you for all you do to keep us out of state people entertained when we aren’t able to visit but feel like we are when watching you guys.

A Disney Podcast That Everyone Needs to Hear!
Mark Brickey’s Disneyland for Designers is a podcast that not only brings people’s imagination back to the happiest place on earth, but also illustrates why many have a deep love with the original Magic Kingdom. His dedication to every detail is what makes this podcast the best beyond any other. Mark will take you on a lap around the park but in an entirely new way that is focused on the design and history of the park. After listening to simply just one episode (or several because honestly you won’t be able to stop), you will begin to appreciate the park in such a better light, that I think Walt definitely would have wanted us to see as well. Not only has Mark created an extraordinary podcast, but his ability to build creative YouTube videos and an amazing community has also made this podcast so special. I would have to give this podcast a solid 10/10, 5 out of 5 stars, and two giant thumbs up!

EXCELLENT!!!
I’ve never left a podcast review before but had to for the Disneyland for Designers podcast.This is by far the best podcast for people that truly love Disneyland! Brickey is the first person I’ve ever heard that has the same core passion for Disneyland that my wife and I have. Simply put, if you would jump at the chance to spend a day at Disneyland even if you couldn’t go on a ride; then this podcast and Club1313 is for you. Keep up the great work Mark. Hope to see you at the Mouse House someday and do a lap together!

A trip to the park
In a time when we all miss it so much, this is an audio trip to my favorite place. I’ve become obsessed with this podcast over the past year. Thank you for this content!

LOVING the new format!!
Brickey Mouse has delivered yet again. The new format is hitting absolutely perfectly! A “book report” on the subject’s design and then a deep dive discussion about the subject matter is such a great way to distill the evolution of this podcast. I’ve been listening since Episode 1 and I have absolutely come to adore this show! Keep up the incredible work!
thechelseaclare
Wonderful
I normally never write reviews on podcasts, but I feel like Disneyland for Designers is too good for me to ignore. Brickey, I totally love you and what you have created. This podcasts helps me feel the magic of Disneyland every day that I listen. That said, the episode with Justin Scarred was really hard for me to listen to. I’m sure he’s a great guy, but he would interrupt and change the subject soo often, and it kind of drove me crazy. He would talk more than listen. I love having Jerrod and Philander on the show. You three make a good combo. Thanks again!

Genuine Disney Love
Brickey brings honesty and authenticity to the Disney content creation universe. DFD is overwhelmingly positive, which is something we all need these days. Although positivity is crucial, authenticity is paramount and this podcast has authenticity in spades. Real opinions, from a design perspective, not bogged down by the blind groveling to anything bearing the Disney trademark that is the calling card of most Disney content creation. Come for the trampion, stay for the Philander Butler conversations. This podcast keeps Walt's lamp on for all of us that are missing the distinctive experience that Disneyland exudes from every corner of the park. -Federalist45

Disneyland. Designers. A podcast premise I could only dream of but thankfully don’t have to! By far my preferred Disney podcast. One thing though: PLEASE stop disqualifying yourself with saying things like “I’ve never been to Epcot!” “I don’t watch Disney movies!” You would have even more to say and offer with all the proper research
