    Let’s mix it up a bit!
    I really used to like Tom’s occasional rants when they were mixed in with actual news and some positive stories about WDW. That’s when the podcast was enjoyable. The rants back then were, without a doubt, absolutly warranted. The Disney company obviously listened and responded. That was meaningful and purposeful criticism. However lately, each show seems like just one very long negative rant. Honestly, it’s not as enjoyable to listen to. Bring back the old format or at least mix it up a bit!
  • Golden/Jamie
    Negative and bitter
    Instead of celebrating theme parks it’s a constant trash talk on 90% of the subject matter
  • CattyPaw$
    Less Eric
    Less Eric. Get rid of this guy.
  • Blacksburgcurmudgeon
    Honest and interesting
    There’s biased and unbiased reporting-this show is the latter. I appreciate knowing the hosts’ honest opinions, since so much Disney talk is overly sycophantic.
  • Cinscientious
    Great!
    I always enjoy listening to this podcast. It’s informative and the guests are great.
  • Winterfell one
    Miss the news
    I love the pod! Eric and Tom are such a great duo. However, I miss the news
  • GenZ_90s_Guy
    As powerful as News Tonight!
    This podcast gives me more of the powerful discussions that WDW News Tonight would give me with the best hosts. I wish Tom would do an episode on the Chapek years from 2015 to 2022. Being someone who joined the “jaded” part of the fandom in 2021 with the help of Tom and WDWNT, I would love to hear more about what happened before then. I only understand a time of the parks starting in 2011 so it’s great to hear the facts and opinions of people who have been around for much longer. 10/10!!
  • KamBeaux
    Jaded and Immature
    This is the podcast equivalent of two teenagers talking trash about their ex boyfriends. The negativity spewed by Tom and Eric is exhausting and (dare I say) toxic. I cannot imagine why they choose to continue to cover WDW if they despise it so much.
  • MemBrian
    Interesting listen
    Probably the most provocative of the Disney podcasts. I definitely appreciate Tom’s knowledge, passion, and willingness to ruffle feathers.
  • realmusicislive
    Informative and entertaining
    This podcast is full of the latest news and information about the parks without the rose colored glasses, you can tell the hosts really care.

    More badly created crap from an unreliable website
    This show is as bad as the website that created it. Tom Corless is a worthless slug of a man who whines his way through life. His staff is a bunch of boot licking idiots and their content is basically tabloid fodder. The absolute worst in Disney news.
  • I. Sweatbutter
    The Fox News of Disney
    There is definitely great information in this podcast, but Tom Corless is kind of obnoxious. It’s like listening to Glenn Beck complain about Walt Disney World. He often blows off real stories to focus on perceived drama and offers his often negative opinions on the joy of Walt Disney World.
  • Raybrook364
    Not So Magical
    Meh..he has an arrogant way about him.It’s a I’m here and you’re not kind of thing and he looses me every time. It’s not exclusive inside news so there is better out there 🤷‍♀️
  • btheFirst1
    Negative about Disney
    Very negative and all they seem to do is complain about Disney. Why do this podcast if you hate Disney so much!
  • Willie555
    The worst
    Website is nothing but clickbait. Podcast is a snooze fest.
  • Krf67
    Good information 👍🏻
    Tom gives good up to date information on what’s going on in and around the parks 👍🏻
  • Mikeandkarla
    Great Disney podcast.
    Informative, like the personalities. Wish it would be more regular. Schedule is all over the place.
  • cvw2
    Stop cackling and fix your audio
    This really has potential. There's actual usable content on this podcast, but the hosts just can't seem to get over each other. I was constantly having to adjust the volume for two reasons. First, they would cackle hysterically over marginal humor. (Example: "The ancient Na'vi were known for their online ordering." "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA! [*Insert sound of choking peacocks disguised as sincere laughter.*] Second, the host seems to be almost rocking back and forth in front of the microphone. I'll turn it up to listen to him, then a co-host on remote will chime in, and blows the audio, causing me to leap for the mute button to avoid ear pain. Otherwise, a decent show. Four stars if they would learn how to use audio meters.
  • Byerspc
    Good Disney podcast
    One of my go to Disney podcasts
  • Mommy2allgirls
    Miss the old days
    I miss this podcast. I feel that now episodes are few and far between and when there is an episode it's mostly recordings and not the discussions. I just miss this podcast. Please come back
  • Old Time Fool
    Very good. Worth a listen
    I have been listening to this podcast for a few years now. The show is currently undergoing a transitional period. It's not as good as it once was, but I still like to listen it. Most of the segments have a very good panel. I like all the different points of view. There are 2 things I should warn you about. First the audio quality has been horrible lately. They need to get everybody on there talking in the same volume and clarity. Some are loud, others are difficult to hear at all if you listen without headphones. Second, the host has an annoying habit of referring to himself in the third person. "Tom likes this" or "Tom won't eat that." (A distracting habit that needs to stop.) Other than that, they offer a lot of knowledge and passion for the subject matter. Disney World parks. Give them a shot. You may like it!

    Great and Entertaining Podcast
    Excellent show! Very entertaining! Very informative as well!
  • Fan 1975
    Great stuff!!!
    I've been listening for a while and this is a very entertaining and enjoyable podcast. There is lots of information to be had: from what's happening right now at the parks to how the parks have developed and evolved over the years. Not to mention you get unbiased opinions about the parks from multiple perspectives.
  • Baxter Bruner
    Very entertaining
    I started listening recently and have enjoyed the news, discussions, and debates - very much worth the time!
  • WDWmeg2011
    Tom is Entertaining!
    Tom is very entertaining and I believe he has one of the best voices in Disney podcasting!
  • FinalFantasyLover80
    Sensational Podcast
    As someone who does a lot of Disney podcast listening, I can safely say that this one is my favorite hands down. Every podcast has their unique spin, and this one's spin is their extreme in depth Disney knowledge. This is not a podcast for people who want to know the best places to meet characters or which time of the year is best to go. Instead it is for someone who LOVES Disney, especially Disney World as a park. I've learned tons and tons of stuff about Disney that I never would have learned had I not listening to this podcast. The panel that is on the podcast is very opinionated, which is exactly what you need in a podcast. There are often debates (of the playful, non nasty variety), and it makes listening both colorful and entertaining as well. One thing that is especially fun about WDWNT is the unique segments that the show does. Some of the other podcasts I listen to are extremely dry, only providing Q+A on the parks, or talking about their favorite restaurants (And there is a time and place for that as well), but this one has such a variety. There are gameshows (The Match Game, a name that tune game), history segments (Back to the Future), countdowns (most recently, the Top 40 Moments in Disney HIstory, and just overall fun ones (The Golden Age!) I am guarenteed that each show I download will not be the same old thing. The podcasters themselves are people who I wish I could hang out in the parks with. Come on, who doesn't want to have dinner with Tom Corless? Each and every person on this podcast has such passion, and that's what makes the podcast work! No, I am not affiliated in any way with WDWNT, I am just a big fan, and I strongly urge any Disney obsessed fan like myself to begin listening, TODAY!

    Awesome podcast
    Been listening for a month and I'm hooked. Great insight and discussion!!
  • Jerry Skids
    Informative, Funny, Entertaining...What else could you want?
    Simply stated...this is the best non-trip planning WDW podcast you'll find anywhere. The hosts are smart, witty, and entertaining, the topics and segments are always interesting, and the episodes go by so fast even though they are 1 - 2 hours at length. I highly recommend WDWNT!
