The Disney podcast to end all Disney podcasts
Len and Jim genuinely have the inside info on all things Disney and that makes this podcast so great. They love Disney but they’re honest about Disney too. And yeah there’s a lot of dad jokes which I appreciate as a fan of dumb humor. I actually pay for the ad free version and it’s worth it.

Another 5 star review?
Yep! Already 79 reviews so I'll keep it brief. Len is a Disney nerd, by the numbers, hardcore nerd. Jim is a Disney geek, a fount of insight, history, and lore. Together, they dish. They are the Disney Dish. It's shmursday people. Listen!

THE Quintessential Disney Podcast
Granted I’m a new listener but a lifelong Disney fan and this podcast is everything...it takes a love and turns it to an informed passion. The beast that is Disney, and specifically the parks themselves, is without a question one of the most interesting topics in modern recorded history, and this podcast only reinforces that. Don’t believe me? I dare you to listen to Jim and Len and come up with another subject that combines imagination, business and history all into one entity...it’s what makes the subject of Disney so unique and in large part what makes this podcast so awesome. The nature of Disney itself, allows Jim and Len to discuss even the seemingly most mundane topics like an earnings call, in a story-like manor that draws listeners in. To put it simply, Jim and Len’s ability to execute excellent informative story telling every Shmursday, combined with the unique nature of Disney itself, is a podcasting match made in heaven!

Nothing Better
The best Disney Parks Podcast period. I have no idea how Jim can tell so many amazing Disney stories. And how Len can come up with so many witty responses.

If only…
I had a magic lamp, I would ask Genie fir a wish to be trapped in a skyliner with these two (in a totally non creepy way of course)! I would ask for all the amazing stories and hilarious tidbits! So much insider info that you don’t get anywhere else! Absolutely my favorite Disney podcast!

My weekly listen
I love the stories that Jim and Len tell and their take on current Disney news. They are the only Disney podcast I come back to weekly.

Great Show!
I love listening to the show while out on walks and runs. All the shows help make the week go by faster and always enjoy all the great information!

Tom Sawyer island market data from 1970s
All of my 4 siblings and I were kids at WDW in 1976. To this date our collective memory of what we loved and hated. These now 45 year old memories are consistent - loved and played on Tom Sawyer island for hours. Those of us returning cannot figure out why we loved it. Surprised at ourselves - hated line and wait for an show we thought was for babies. But, to be fair, my parents had us growing up on universal monsters and 1930s comedies

THAT’S IT EXACTLY
that’s it exactly

Best Disney Fix
If I can’t go to the WDW Parks and Resorts, the next best thing is Len and Jim’s podcast. Entertaining, informative and downright hilarious! Len’s Disney news segments and Jim’s storytelling have saved my sanity during quarantine. I don’t even fast forward through the commercials just so I can hear Jim soothingly talk about virtual counseling. Who needs counseling when we have Jim and Len! BTW, I’m in NH too, Jim. Let’s start a support group for grounded Granite Staters!!

The one I look forward to every week!
Jim Hill and Len Testa make up such a perfect pair. I enjoy the news updates and bits of history that are shared every week with a realistic, lighthearted view that takes into account where we’ve been as well as where we are now as a society and Disney-loving community. Jim, I hope you never retire because I would truly miss these weekly talks. If you like this one, also check out the others Jim Hill offers, about Universal, Marvel, Star Wars, and animation.

Great stuff for any Disney fan
As a fan of the Disney parks, but also of the history of the Disney company as a whole, I look forward every week to a new installment of this podcast! (In fact, it’s one of the few things I look forward to Mondays for. It is what gets me out to run at lunch time, just so I can listen to the latest episode.) Keep up the great work!

Wonderful backstories
I love the backstories to Disney history. Great information for any Disney fan.

All the Disney news full of nerd details
I missed the original WDW today cast when they stopped making that podcast. I followed Len Testa here when he joined Jim Hill in reporting out on the latest disney news. I love their banter. The scoop. The times when Len gets into the math behind everything. I especially love when he gets into the math. This one is in my must listen to podcasts

Best Disney Podcast!!!
My Monday morning commute has become so much more enjoyable since I discovered Len and Jim on the Disney Dish. I listen close to a dozen Disney podcast. And while I enjoy all of them for different reason. Disney Dish is hands down by far the best. Len’s humor and current knowledge of what’s going on around DW gets me excited for upcoming trips. (Fingers crossed for Ratatouille opening before my end of January trip). And Jim’s history and inside scoop on all things Disney is amazing and informative. Keep up the amazing work guys! I wake up morning mornings excited with anticipation of a new episode.

The authority on Disney parks and history
I love Len Testa's knowledge of the parks and surveys. He is able to explain what Disney is thinking and what Disney is trying to learn from their survey questions. Jim Hill has inside knowledge from his sources at Imagineering and a great history of the parks. His stories are always fun to listen to!

Best podcast ever!!!
This is an awesome awesome AWESOME podcast that is so much fun to listen to, and the disney knowledge you get is incredible! Listening to Jim and Len has helped me stay sane throughout the pandemic. Great work!!

Thoughtful and Engaging Disney Parks Podcast
I’m a new listener and so far I am really digging this podcast! I’d heard Len as a guest before on other podcasts so when I found this I thought I’d give it a listen, and I’m so glad I did. Both hosts are very knowledgeable about current events at the Disney parks as well as Disney history. Their conversations are casual while still remaining on-topic, which I really appreciate.

Awesome podcast
This is one of the best Disney podcasts. Great timely information and really entertaining. Thanks Len and Jim!

Love this podcast
You guys are so knowledgeable and provide so much information about all Disney properties. A fun listen that helps me get through my work day! Thank you!

So much news and history!
I listen to the Disney Dish to get the latest on what is happening in the Disney parks. Also, Jim always has a great story to tell - usually the history of some attraction or something else within the parks. So enjoyable!
This is a great show and must listen

The Top Disney Podcast
I'm really impressed by how the volume and quality of episodes that Len and Jim put out every month. They have a great chemistry on The Disney Dish while talking about both the latest news and Disney history. The show moves quickly and remains engaging on a wide range of topics. If you're a fan of theme parks, you should be listening to the this podcast!

My favorite podcast!
The infamous Sunday Scaries (or is it now Shmursday Scaries?!) are much easier to manage knowing I’ll be able to escape reality with a new episode of The Disney Dish. Len and Jim are incomparable, and every episode is highly entertaining. Bravo!

Love love love your podcast
Len and Jim, you both do a fabulous job. I have binge listening to your podcast on my staycation. It's so informative and interesting and fun. Your personalities shine through. Story ideas: I am dying to know the history about the giant ride buildings hiding in plain view at the parks. Which ride buildings are massively and sneaking disguised into the landscape? Any good stories about ride buildings that particularly challening to build or problematic? Just an idea. Keep up the great job! - Gabrielle Russon

So entertaining!
This is the Disney Podcast I never knew I needed! How awesome to find podcasters who are as geeked out by Disney magic as I am. Going back to listen to the saved episodes and enjoying each one! Thank you!

All the Beat Information
Great podcast! Not only is it very entertaining, but it is full of the best information. Touring Plans is also a must use website. Must listen for any Disney fan or first-time Disney visitors.

The best
Could literally listen to these guys read the phone book. If there were phone books anymore. Really nice to fans they meet in the parks.

Disney Edutainment
These guys know their stuff and they seem to have a lot of fun sharing it. I look forward to every episode and always walk away with new knowledge and a couple of laughs.

Best Podcast Ever!
This is my best source of Disney news and history. I love Jim and Len both and they are so easy to listen to. This podcast keeps me up to date and well informed on all the important news from Disney. I have learned so much about the history from Jim and the park info from Len! I look forward to the weekly episode and listen each week. Very well done!
