Hey dads! Long time listener first time caller. My wife and I live in Madison Wisconsin and we are Soon to be parents to a little girl. We lived in Orlando for several years before moving to Wisconsin last year. We just survived our first Wisconsin winter and your podcast was the tiny ray of Disney light that kept us going through those -35 temp days. That is until Matt said “Minnesota state fair cheese curds are far superior to any other cheese curds.” WOW! Not sure how you guys can redeem the podcast after such a miscarriage of truth. #DefinitelyNotExperts. Hahaha. But seriously we love you guys and the show! Question -I know you guys have daughters, so as a first time dad to a little girl what is your number one tip to get the glitter off of you after a long sweaty day at the theme parks?!

Love this podcast. TJ, Matt, Landon (yes I know he’s currently suspended), and sometimes Ben are the best. They pump me up between Disney visits. Keep it up!

I’ve always had a predisposition for loving Disney World from many-a-trips to WDW as a kid. I’m now 30 and have an 8 day split stay with my lady next month(half Pop+Destino Tower)…. And you my friends have absolutely set me on a path of no return that I wouldn’t want to return from if it means more WDW! I started off about 3 months ago with the recent episodes and worked backwards. However this is the FIRST podcast I’ve ever binged from beginning to end. The dapper dads are on my drive to work 1hr every day 5 days a week for the last 3 months(let that sink in; I’m a professional chef and keep it semi hidden from colleagues) and I can’t get enough. I’m caught up and CRUSHED. Keep it coming boys. All the best from the Delaware beaches. #QuitYourJobLandon -Mickey(Yes it’s my real nickname) Oh duh, 3 Questions: Mostly to Matt: in an occupation which has a stereotypically rough+tough mindset, how do you convince peers to have an open mind about our ‘borderline’ obsession.

I found this podcast after my family’s first trip to Disney World in 2022. I’ve been listening ever since to get non-expert tips on what to do in the parks, and where to stay (or not stay!), snacks to try, and to just reminisce about Disney World. Three Questions Question: TJ mentioned shipping Joffrey’s coffee to help keep the “Magic” alive when not in Disney World. What other ways can you keep Disney World in your day-to-day without actually being in Disney?

You guys are great - since returning from WDW in October (we rode out Milton at Riviera!) and having major Disney withdrawal - I’ve listened to all of your past episodes and find myself enjoying every Wednesday morning drive to the gym and back knowing I can hear some new games, trip reports, three questions, and all sorts of Disney fun and games. Thanks for being a bright spot in my week. My family and I will be at WDW in April during your trip down there and hope to run into you!

I stumbled upon this podcast over a year ago when we were planning for a trip and looking for ideas on how to navigate the parks with our 5 year-old niece. I was instantly hooked as it didn’t have the same sales-pitch feel as other podcasts. This crew is so down to earth and just is fun to listen to. My husband started listening after our trip and now we often look forward to talking about each new episode. As upstate New Yorkers, we appreciate how you help fill the gap between trips. We especially love the games! Three questions question: 1. If you created a scavenger hunt around the Disney World Parks, what would your theme be and what types of clues or challenges would you create? 2. If you could swap the themes of two rides - for example, make Aladdin’s flying carpets Avatar-themed and Flight of Passage Aladdin themed - what two rides would you swap? Thanks for all the laughs! Colleen (& Jonathan) from Binghamton, NY

If Matt agrees to chill in a rocking chair in Main Street does that mean TJ has to ride Soarin?

TJ, Matt, suspended Landon, and barely ever Ben helped plan our Disney trip this year, and made it so much fun at the same time! Even though the trip is over, and they aren’t experts, I’m still listening religiously. Thanks guys!!

This podcast is the serotonin I need for the week. I’ve listened to every single episode, and I love it! It’s simply people taking about what they are passionate about - Disney World - and sharing that joy. The Dapper Dads are awesome, and they bring the joy and magic of Disney to everyone who listens! Here’s some ”three questions” question for you: • If there was a Disney World is Awesome/Dapper Dads merch item sold in the parks, what kind do you think it should be? (A pin/shirt/mug/toy etc.). • If you could spend the day at Disney world together with a Disney character, which one would you choose to accompany you? • What kind of snack item would be the ”Dapper Dad snack” at the parks?

My boyfriend and I started listening back in August and kept up with the weekly episodes. We have recently decided to go back and listen to them all. It’s our favorite thing to do on car rides!! Also I’m the 500th review! YAY

The Dapper Dads are so much fun to listen to. And even though they say they’re “not experts” I learned so much from their earlier episodes that helped me plan a GREAT first trip to DW for our family in 2021. I knew NOTHING ab DW and I felt so prepared when we went. I keep listening every week even tho we don’t have a trip coming up bc they’re just FUN- good clean family fun to listen to. I love the games, love the banter, love the trip recaps, love the info. Keep it going guys!

Love love love this podcast! My kids request it every time we get in the car! These three non-experts are turning my kids into little experts. We especially love playing along with the games ☺️ Three questions question for you: if you could bring back any one retired item from the park (can be a ride, a restaurant, a snack or a policy!) what would it be? I’m torn between paper fastpasses and Innoventions in Epcot.

I’ve been a day one listener and look forward to hearing these Dapper Dads all week! They’re the perfect mix of Disney World fans and have different opinions and approaches to a Disney vacation which I love. It’s more of a chat style podcast which I also prefer. We’ve come to think of them as old friends in our house, and (in the least creepy way possible) hope we run into them one day on Main Street, on Pirates, on the skyliner, or in Morocco! Thanks for our favorite podcast!

I’ve been meaning to write a review and just happened to see on IG that you were 1 away from 500! I’m a Cincinnati, OH native and I’ve been going to WDW yearly since I was 6 months old. My parents bought into DVC at OKW during the first year DVC was offered. My husband and I now have a 2 year old and he’s already been to the parks 5x with 2 more trips planned for this year! This is by far my favorite podcast. Matt, TJ, Sometimes Ben, and Landon (should we call him Sometimes Landon now too?) bring good banter and a fresh perspective on the parks. While I rarely ever learn anything new while listening (not experts), I always leave with a smile and the urge to book my next trip. Please keep up the awesome work and Landon please come back! We need your negativity and games! 3 questions questions: if you could relive any of your past days at a Disney park, what day would you want to relive and why? Would you do something different? AND If you had a vow renewal at the park where would your ceremony be and where would your reception be?

I am unapologetically a Disney adult. I'm also a mom of two young girls who loves my family trips even more than my friend/adult only adventures. I love listening to Disney podcasts, especially trip reports. Disney World is Awesome has become one of my favorites. Hearing the perspectives of these Disney loving dads is entertaining, informative, and chases away those Disney blues. It also gives this New England girl hope that one day my Midwestern husband will embrace the magic the same way I do. Right now, I'm enjoying how much he loves watching our girls take in all a Disney trip has to offer. Thanks for all the banter, trip reports, and cliff hangers around who has the highest score on Midway mania. You all are clearly great neighbors with lovely families. It's interesting to hear how your families do Disney given the different ages of your kiddos. Awesome insights! Good luck Dapper Dads with the new sponsorship and potential name change. Thanks for all the content.

I really appreciate you guys for keeping the podcast going for years! I always look forward to listening each week. You keep the vibes high when we are in between trips :) 3 questions: if you were going to park hop to all 4 parks in one day and do one ride/attraction at each, what would they be?

I love this podcast! Although Matt, TJ, Landon and sometimes Ben and Chis don’t live in my neighborhood, I feel like these guys are my neighbors each week. They are not experts, but they love Disney World and have a lot of knowledge on the subject. Give them a listen, you won’t be disappointed, and you will be looking forward to each new episode of adventure, fun and games.

The dapper dads are absolutely delightful to o listen to. They have a lovely attitude and spirit towards a Disney vacation that bring a smile to your face.

Super fun and funny (and occasionally even informative) podcast about Disney. The most entertaining one I’ve found by far!

I listen to far too many Disney related podcasts these days. This one however is my absolute favorite! These guys aren’t experts, but they don’t need to be. The humor keeps me coming back!

I love this podcast! No matter what is happening in the chaos of the world and life, this little sliver of weekly Disney always puts me in a better mood. Sometimes you just need a lighthearted trivia game about Disney to turn your day around!! Thanks Dapper Dads!

I’ve been a long time weekly listener! TJ, Landon, Matt and sometimes Ben will help you get thru those Disney blues until your next trip and make you laugh along the way!

The Dapper Dads & Sometimes Ben are my favorite Disney podcasters! I have been going to WDW before DAK was a park & now I get to bring my family, as well as sending families to Disney destinations around the world as a TA. These guys bring the joy, levity & fun every Wednesday and I’m here for it! 1. If you could have a power/ability of any Disney character (even a villain) what would it be? I.e. talking to animals , super speed, etc. 2. If you were able to live in any Disney movie universe for a week , which would you pick?

Always look forward to new episodes every week.

These guys are expertish but it’s expert enough! If you need ideas on how to plan a trip or a park, they’ve got you. If you just have the Disney blues, they’ve got you. Your friends sick of you talking about Disney? They’ve definitely got you. Now guys, we love the Disney smells so much but they aren’t all great. What Disney smell would you use when your friend/spouse/etc needs a solid reminder to keep the Disney plans flowing. My wife would get the pirates ride fire smell when she starts her car! 😂😂

L for Living with the Land A for awesome N for No disrespect D for Dumbo with TJ O for opening W and S N for not quitting the Pod Please don’t forget to come back ♥️ Mama Mindy

The Dapper Dads and Sometimes Ben make me laugh every week! Fun show!

Love listening to the dads so I can learn more about Disney World and feel a little Disney Magic in my week. They share relatable family stories and I love that I can listen with my kids in the car. They ask for the Disney guys to talk 😊 thanks for keeping the Disney Magic alive all year round!

This podcast has been an amazing way to carry my hype levels while I await my upcoming Disney World trip. Not experts but great host!

I have been a faithful listener (neighbor) for three years or more and my Wednesdays are always marked by your new episodes. This podcast is so fun, down to earth, and wholesome. If you love Disney and don't take yourself too seriously, you'll love this podcast. Thanks for the levity you bring every week!

Love this podcast!!!

love the dapper dads so much! always incredible content and I love the games they play to make talking about disney interactive

Thanks for creating this podcast! I’ve heard three episodes so far and love them!!! It makes me so happy to hear about other guest’s love and excitement about the parks!!!

3 Questions Questions :Pick one ride from each land that should go bye bye! From Reilly from Stoneham,MA

Thanks so much for making Disney Dads AWESOME! I fell in love with Disney World in 2022 on a trip with my wife and my at the time 10 year old son and 6 year old daughter. We left the 1 year old with family back in Atlanta. We were actually on property when a hurricane hit and because of our experience we were comped free park tickets so returned for a mini trip in 2023 with everyone. My wife and I went back in 2024 by ourselves because we had to see what that was like, and after that trip I was singing the Disney blues but found this gem of a podcast. Tonight we just found out while my son and I were listening to the podcast that we will be there the same week as ya’ll April 7th. We will be on the lookout for ya’ll in all the key spots. Toy Story Mania, Adventureland, Main Street USA, Rocking Chairs and of course Hall of Presidents since Landon unfortunately cannot come. I already know it’s going to be a great trip for everyone, thanks for being not experts and just making up fun games and convos that keep the Disney vibes alive between trips. - Nathan, Joy, Ty, Lexi and Livi

Save Landon!

Randomly found this podcast while prepping for our first family trip to Disney. It feels relatable for my husband which gives a nice perspective. Love the what if/ what would you do scenarios. Helps with on the fly decisions as someone who hasn’t been there in 20 years. Thanks!

Hey Matt, TJ, Landon and sometimes Ben, This is Neely and I’m 14 years old! I have been listening to y’all for about 3 years and I have listened to every episode!! They are filled with fun and laughter. These sometimes experts will give you some wrong info but always with a smile!! One time y’all said that it would be crazy if someone listened to their podcast on their way to Disney and I have!! Here’s a 3 questions question: You have one ride left in every park which ones are you choosing and why?

Now that you’ve been doing this podcast for going on 5 years and have been going to DW for even longer than that….. how have your trips changed (for the better or worse) as your kids have gotten older? We have been taking our kids to DW since they were toddlers and now they are 20 and 15 and somehow the trips keep getting sweeter and more fun even though a typical day in the park looks different over time. I’d love to hear how they have evolved for you! Love the podcast btw. 🥰

Keep Going! For the past 6 months I have binge-listened to the pod, and I have loved listening to TJ and Sometimes Ben’s Disney obsessions, Matt’s CTE-fueled tenacity, and most of all, Landon’s consistent (or persistent?) mispronunciations and malapropisms (is that a word?). I know you guys have been doing the podcast for longer than you anticipated, but please keep going! You always bring a bit of joy and laughter to my day, and I appreciate your dedication! My wife and I are going back to Disney for our first trip as adults and are bringing our 5-year old boy. Y’all have fueled my excitement and I listen to y’all every day on my morning walk as I try to get my step count up for Disney. THANK YOU! I do have a Question for the World Famous Three Questions: What is a snack, a ride, and an experience that you’d want to take from the Minnesota State Fair and put it in Disney World?

Life is funny. One minute you’re making fun of Disney adults and the next you’re writing a review for your favorite Disney world podcast. These guys are an absolute blast to listen to! From the friendly banter to the silly games, you’ll find a ton of good, wholesome fun to occupy your time. We definitely need more of that in the world! Thank you guys for spreading good juju and giving me tons of content to listen to when I’m bored at work!

I was at a work meeting the other day and was struggling to find the words to describe something and found myself saying, “you know, that kinda deal” 😂. And it was at that moment that I knew I’d officially become a Disney world is awesome fan boy. Three questions question: you have to answer for each other and identify the ride, hotel, and restaurant that the other dads most over-rate. For example, Landon might say Matt thinks pirates is great ride, but actually it’s mediocre at best (not saying this is my opinion, just an example)

Hello Dapper Dads! Sarah here! I started listening to your podcast in October to get in the Disney mood before my upcoming trip in November. I started from episode 1 and have just caught up to present day just this morning and even listened to them all at normal speed! I quickly felt like I was in the neighborhood and dubbed DWiA as my comfort podcast. I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoy your conversations and I especially love Landon’s games. The few things that have surprised me though after binge-listening to almost 240 episodes are that 1) you haven’t had all the wives on for an episode yet, 2) you haven’t featured any of the kids since very early on, and 3) most importantly, that you haven’t gone together as a group yet! I can’t believe I’ve listed to so many episodes just waiting to hear that it was happening to still end up waiting. Please tell me it’s going to happen this month like you’ve teased!? Anyways, thank you for being my comfort show and for continuing to remind me why I also think Disney World is awesome. To conclude, here’s my submission for the world famous three questions: as you look back on the last 230+ episodes, what is something that makes you happy that you’re glad you did, and what is something you regret doing or wish you did with the podcast?

I’ve been listening to the podcast since 2023 and love it. The Dapper Dads (including Ben) are quick to say “not experts” about Disney World, but I disagree. While they may not be technical experts on all the happenings and details of WDW, they are some of the top experts on the heart and soul of the feeling you get about WDW if you love it. Listen to the podcast and follow the podcast and sometimesben on Instagram. They’ll get you ready for your next trip. 3 questions question: my family is getting ready to take a trip to Disneyland in June for my son’s high school graduation and 18th birthday. It will be our first Disney trip to somewhere other than WDW. If you could go to any of the foreign parks which would it be and why? Marc from North Carolina

I love this show! If I had a $500 WDW gift card - we would finally check out drawn to life! At Disney springs. 3 questions - question - How do the dads feel about the festivals? Hype? Or Magic?

Bar none, this podcast is the best cure for the Disney blues, so thank you Dapper Dads for the weekly dose of Disney. I have a 3 questions question for you — my wife and I are planning a 3 day adults-only trip to WDW. While we certainly want to ride rides and do the “big stuff”, our goal for this trip is to do the “side quests” that we either haven’t found the time for on other trips or that would be more difficult to do with kids. What WDW “side quests” would you go on?

Out of the dozens of Disney podcasts that I have subscribed to since my last trip in July of ‘24, this is the one I look forward to listening to the most every week. The calm, cool collected ‘Owen Wilson’-like voice of TJ talking about his recent trips, the fun although not always fully conceptualized games by Landon, the stoked and energetic passion by Matt when providing reason for what might be a hot-take, and not to leave out sometimes Ben. You guys make me feel like I’m one of your group as I sit in the car and responding to a question as if you can hear me. Your show keeps me engaged, keeps me coming back for more on a weekly basis. Thanks for all the great content!

Hey guys. It’s Alex from Kansas City. Thank you all for great content to listen to while training for my WDW half marathon. We are currently finishing on our last day of the trip. We stayed at Coronado (I remembered to get my clothes out of the drawers). My question is this.. we were talking about 2020 and the NBA bubble. If you had to be stuck at a Disney resort (similar to the NBA bubble) which resort would you choose to stay at? You can’t go to the parks either.

This is my Roman Empire. I think about Disney all the time, and finding this podcast has been so validating/cozy/fun/wonderful.

Started listening when you were about 2 years in. By far my favorite podcast. You’re joking about ending it made me think of a question for you. If you were to stop the podcast, what would you miss the most?
