Be Our Guest is my favorite podcast on any topic. Mike and his three co-hosts do a great job of discussing Disney news and updates, as well as topics that are helpful when planning Disney trips. After listening to this show for more than 16 years, I feel like the hosts are my friends. I always look forward to the new shows and appreciate all of their hard work.

Alright….I have been debating leaving a review or not. I am not sure if Mike checks these out…but if so, some feedback. First of all, my favorite Disney podcast. I listen to a bunch of them. I appreciate Mike, Scott, Pam, and Rikki’s consistency week in and week out. It is clear they are very kind people who care about each other and the Disney community as a whole. I laugh out loud almost every episode at some point. I cannot imagine what it is like putting out so many episodes every week. But I am so grateful that they do. The only thing I can really point to that would make the podcast better is to edit some of the “ummm”, “you know”, “yeah yeah yeah”, etc that one of the pod personalities seems to say non stop. At times, it can be a bit difficult to listen to. I think an amazing product already would be plussed up exponentially.

I started listening a few years ago while planning a Disney trip and have kept listening ever since! Love all the information, stories, and personalities on this podcast. Thanks!!

I love the personalities on this podcast and the community in their discord channel. Couldn’t ask for more fun and information. Mike, you’re awesome, keep it coming and thank you for providing multiple episodes of content every week to keep my listening schedule packed

Super fun and very helpful podcast for all things Disney!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Be Our Guest" is an absolute gem in the Disney parks podcast landscape! Host Mike, alongside the delightful trio of Riki, Pam, and Scotty-G, delivers the perfect blend of expert Disney parks knowledge and entertaining commentary that keeps me coming back week after week. What sets this podcast apart is how they transform essential Disney vacation planning into an engaging and often hilarious conversation. I frequently find myself laughing out loud at their witty banter while absorbing valuable tips and insights about both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their passion for Disney shines through in every episode. The Sunday night live streams are a particular highlight, creating a wonderful sense of community as Disney fans from across the globe call in to share their experiences and seek advice. I especially appreciate how Mike maintains a consistently respectful and welcoming atmosphere, ensuring the show remains family-friendly and inclusive. Whether you're planning your first Disney vacation or you're a seasoned park veteran, this podcast is an absolute must-listen. The hosts feel like old friends sharing their Disney expertise over coffee. Do yourself a favor and subscribe – your future Disney trips will thank you!

Normally an okay safe show, I couldn’t believe when Pam laughed at the fact that someone tried to murder a former president. It was tasteless, and I couldn’t believe no one stepped in to correct her. Very disappointed in this podcast, which is usually a safe, semi decent show. Be better.

If you are a Disney fan, this podcast is a must! The several episodes per week give me my Disney fix. Mike, Scott, Nikki and Pam are fun, knowledgeable and down to earth. I feel like I know them at this point I’ve been listening so long :)

Only Disney podcast I listen to. I’ve met Mike multiple times and he is so nice! Love this show.

I’ve listened for over 8 years now and I love the podcast. But it is now taking Mike forever to get a show started. It was almost 20 min to get to listened questions this week. Seems to be a new pattern and it’s annoying

The Be Our Guest Podcast is always my first to download and listen to. The group of hosts, guests, and listeners is truely a family atmosphere. The trip reports and latest topics from Walt Disney World are covered in this twice-a-week podcast. I have traveled to WDW many times to meet with the podcasters and listeners, and I can honestly say that they are some of my best friends now.

There are things I really like and things that I dislike. I do get tired of hearing, over and over, Mike saying he’s just a simple guy from the Midwest. We get it. He also interrupts Rikki all the time. He doesn’t do it to Scott or Pam very much, and I don’t know how Rikki keeps it together when he does this. She is gracious to a fault. I get his passion for all things Disney, but listeners want to hear from Rikki too! On the plus side, this is the most positive Disney podcast out there, so much to love about that! It provides informative and timely content and Mike is committed to getting lots of shows out every week. Kudos!

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. How can Mike not know how to tell someone that wants to go for two weeks how they can use them every other day on their trip. He said they wouldn’t get enough days on a 7 day ticket. Sure if they buy it separate. Buy a package and the ticket usage will span any 7 days of their resort stay. Get a better TA.

I love listening to Mike and the gang as they talk all things Disney! I found this podcast about a year ago and have listened ever since. It keeps things exciting between trips and keeps the magic alive! I am also a teacher and love that I have that connection with Mike and Pam, and I also love having a place to go ask questions and keep in the know on the BOGP discord! Thank you to Mike, Rikki, Pam, and Scott for keeping this podcast up and running multiple times a week. It’s the best!! 😊

Food for thought, At this point Mike, Pam, and Rikki (and sometimes Scotty) have done far more shows than , Hochberg, Scopa, Newell (and sometimes Testa) This is the best Disney Trip Planning podcast.

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.

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.

Your show is the best podcast I’ve ever seen it is very entertaining and also useful to know what is going on in Disney also, can I please get a shout out it would be my dream and Disney is a place where dreams come true

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.

This is an all-around great show with a positive and exciting atmosphere! Also, great travel tips!

This podcast makes me laugh out loud when I walk!! Love the stories and love Pam’s outlook and that she lives in possibility. I so bad want to be friends with these 4!! Best line ever. “I love peanut butter like a mistress!”

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.

This is my favorite Disney podcast. The hosts are all great to listen to, informative and entertaining. They give great advice and help me stay up to date with the changes. Also love listening to the trip reports from listeners.

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

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

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!!

So happy I found this podcast! What a breath of fresh air! The team is funny, warm and positive while also being informative and helpful in all aspects of Disney planning. I love the format of multiple shows each week and I look forward to each and every one. Thank you Mike, Pam, Rikki and Scott….your hard work and dedication is truly appreciated!

Mike and the gang always have the best ideas for fun in the magic!!

Great informative show!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!!

The trip report episodes are great

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 :)

I love this podcast so much. Keeps my Disney withdrawal at bay in between trips. And the hosts are just the best!

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.

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!

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.

Love the BOGP Crew. They each bring a different Outlook and give great tips and advice. Fun games, lots of different shows. Give it a listen!

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.

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.

Mike, Scott, Pam, and Rikki do a great job with their podcast. They are knowledgeable, informative, and kind. Highly recommend the 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.

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!

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!! 💛
