For the most part an excellent podcast. My only gripe is it seems as if Brian talks as much as the other three hosts combined. You don’t always need to use 50 words to say something that could be said with 5

These guys set the bar. The monthly episodes are insightful and funny and most importantly never boring. The hosts have been together a long time and it shows in their banter during the podcast. I love when they go off on tangents unrelated to the topic at hand only to bring it back full circle....Read full review »

With my first visit to WDW being 1975 this podcast takes me back to a simpler time. The best historical stories. And deep dives into what Disney is today.

I love this podcast. I have been going through every episode the last couple of months!! So much great information! One thing I have some constructive criticism about. I am not an audio engineer, but there seems to be some leveling issues going on. Specially when Todd is talking. Todd tends to...Read full review »

While the majority of the episodes I’ve listened to discuss WDW before I ever visited, I love hearing about the resort’s past. I also appreciate the team’s sense of humor. I still chuckle thinking about the discussion of how fast CoP spins and what the long term effects of repeated centripetal...Read full review »

I wrote this approximately (18) months ago and forgot to send it… 🚧 I have just finished your first podcast. The content and panel were excellent. Looking forward to full mental immersion into the entire catalog. Your website of restored Disney themed home movies and press releases is brilliant....Read full review »

I really enjoy the format of this podcast. I have tried many WDW and DL podcasts and by far this is the most professional. Started with picking coverage of my favorite attractions (Haunted Mansion, Horizons, etc.) now I’m going through all of the episodes.

By far my favorite Disney podcast! So much nostalgia!!
Mouse giggles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/22
Excellent podcast about Retro Disney World that often gets in the weeds. Perhaps that’s why they haven’t done a true show since September. If you are looking for regular content about the Disney Parks this is not the place to go.
SGB1347 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/22
Simply put, the best, most engaging Disney podcast.
EasyD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/21
I really appreciate the research that goes into these episodes and the info presented. However I can no longer listen to the episodes because the main host (and sometimes the others) drops the end of sentences…he trails off at the end of his sentences and gets very quiet and almost mumbles them....Read full review »

I am a mom and a healthcare worker and I haven’t had more than a day or two off since March; I really look forward to this podcast because it reminds me of happier times at Disney. They also have a lovey you tube channel.

The work these gentlemen put in is so valuable. They are so important to Disney history…I honestly think they do more for preserving Disney history than DISNEY does. Please keep going. And check them out on YouTube! Amazing stuff.

If you find yourself a WDW history fan reading blogs and books - this is absolutely the podcast for you! The episodes are rich in detail and extremely well researched. The hosts know their stuff! They are also now a real-world organization helping preserve the history of WDW, which is incredible....Read full review »

This podcast is the one I look forward to the most. When I see a new one post, I can’t wait to pop in my EarPods and listen! The production quality is great and the historical information is fascinating. It instantly takes me back to earlier visits to WDW. Great show guys! Don’t ever stop!
WDW1971 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/21
thorough and complete retro Disney talk, be it attractions, music, resorts of anything related. these guys are great!!
djmikegs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/21
I love the topics in this podcast. I have 2 critiques however. The first is the length of most of the episodes….. over 2 hours! That’s very long! I’ve got lots of other podcasts I listen to and over 2 hours an episode really backs things up. The second is PLEASE stop eating and drinking and...Read full review »

So so informative and great topics! I truly enjoy the work these guys put in to creating a great podcast.
winniebee04 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/21
Started early March and now caught up. Right from the preview episode to the latest one, always entertaining, treasure trove of information, love when you guys go into the weeds! I’m in re-runs on your show until the next episode drops, can’t wait!
Ed Fumic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/21
Frankly couldn’t listen to Disney pods after the shutdown last year. Saw yours mentioned on a Facebook page as good for historical information. Checked out episode one and was hooked. Sad to say I am up-to-date. You’ve been my saving grace for the last 8 months.
Jdc192 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/21
Great information. Detailed topics presented in a fun and energetic manner. Just wish wasn’t a once-a-month podcast! They grew up when I did and give great respect to the 70s and 80s attractions, especially EPCOT Center.
EPCOT Center fan82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/21
Absolutely love this podcast, recently found them and love listening to them while I am working! Absolutely love how they keep current events to a minimum and just stick to the subject of the show! Keep up the great work!
truckdriver8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/20
I started listening a little while back and getting caught up was so sad because now I have to wait a whole month for a new episode. The guys have great information and a good format.

I recently found this podcast last month and have been going through the archives to listen from the beginning. The episodes are very well done, are fascinating, funny, and something I look forward to. The episodes have brought back lots of fond memories of my time in the parks while I was...Read full review »

I have a few theme park history and news show I listen to. This monthly podcast is one I never miss and listen almost the second it comes out. The host are very informative and do their due diligence to pass on correct information.
Silentbrodie99 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/20
The work that the guys at RetroWDW do is fantastic. They go the extra distance (then a couple steps further) to gather information on the most oscure of topics. Along the way is always discover another great story. They really don't have to, but they do, and I appreciate all their hard work.Read full review »

I miss the Walt Disney World that I remember from when I was a kid. This is the best podcast to help with that problem. Listen to the podcast and take a look at the pictures on the website!
AmyBird78 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/20
I just love this podcast.
saaaammmmmmmmmm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/20
It’s nice to know that other people think about the Disney parks historical details as much as I do. I’m thankful for every episode. Keep up the great work!
memorytree via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/16/20
I listen to a lot of Disney content but this is my absolute favorite!
NancyDNY via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/20
This podcast is AWESOME!!! I discovered it in mid 2019 and I’ve been binging it during my morning commute for the last couple months. The gang is roughly my age and remember WDW the way I remember and love it. I love hearing about how our favorite WDW places were developed, and I remembering the...Read full review »
DewMan61699 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/19
I like the content but find this very difficult to listen to. The audio volume isn’t leveled well. Constantly turning my volume up and down. One host will be speaking softly and the next persons voice will be VERY loud and startling.
ItsMisterEric via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/19
Favorite podcast! As soon as it shows up in my feed, I try to listen right away. These 4 are truly capturing that retro WDW feeling I miss so much AND bringing forward so many little details that I almost taste the handwiches! 🤣
RoxyRogue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/19
Just finished binge watching all of the episodes. I’m now officially caught up. Thanks guys for creating such a wonderful and informative program.
sfcaguy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/19
Working my way through the back catalog. Wonderful historical view of the parks. Thanks guys!
Jekylnhyde via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/19
This is how you do a history show. Well-researched, thorough, informative, and entertaining. Make sure you check their website for some of the best restored photos and videos you’ll ever see.
AppleAppUser30 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/19
Listening for the first time, loving the first episode on the Horizons attraction! The research and information you collect and share is incredible. Can’t wait to go back an listen to other episodes. Looking foreword to the rest if the series on Horizons as well!
Drobi1030 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/19
Listening to these guys talk about the old days at Walt Disney World is awesome. I feel like I am part of the conversation sometimes and can relate to so many things they are discussing. I have just started listening about a month or two ago so I am still catching up but I look forward to the...Read full review »

I absolutely love this Podcast. Great historical tidbits about rides and celebrations at Disney World. For those of us who starting going to the parks a long time ago, it will bring back memories of how you remember the parks. I can see the parks in my mind as the guys describe how things were in...Read full review »

I started listening when they put out a Communicore episode, as I am a huge Epcot fan. I love listening to the history of rides that I miss and even some that I never got to experience. I agree with the comments that the episodes are too short at an hour because they still seem to fly by. I hope...Read full review »

lizziemartin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/19
The guys here really dive deep into the details of Walt Disney World history. A must listen for any fan of the way it used to be. It's made so interesting by the 4 different perspectives and experiences. I just wish it was more often than once a month :)Read full review »

Buccaneerfilms via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/19
Meh
I listen to many WDW podcasts. This one is just ok. They try, but overall I find it boring and overly drawn out. If the content of most episodes were edited down to a half-hour (which could be done pretty easily if they cut down on the banter and listener voicemails), it would be more enjoyable....Read full review »

Very nostalgic podcast. Love hearing about 1960’-1980’s WDW! Great attention to details.
Bill 1986 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/18
I’m pretty new to this podcast but it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. I thoroughly the dry humor of the hosts, as well as the overall NPR-meets-Disney vibe (I mean that in the best way possible! I love NPR!). Definitely subscribe to this podcast if you’re looking to relive the nostalgia...Read full review »
