Whether you’re planning for an upcoming trip to Orlando or looking to keep the magic alive between vacations, podcasts can offer a great way to connect you with Orlando’s world-class theme parks. Although there are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of podcasts that discuss Orlando’s theme parks, the Be Our Guest WDW Podcast is one of our top rated Disney podcasts.

With over a thousand episodes in their archive, the Be Our Guests WDW Podcast is a great source of vacation information for Walt Disney World® Resort visitors. On occasions, the podcast also discusses topics on other Orlando area theme parks and attractions. Once a year, the podcast holds a 12-hour live show in support of Orlando charity, Give Kids The World Village.

Hosts Mike, Rikki and Pam offer different perspectives on what it takes to plan that perfect Disney World vacation. Episodes of the Be Our Guests WDW Podcast release three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Each Monday, episodes include Mike along with a podcast listener who discusses their recent trip to Disney (or Universal). On Wednesday’s episode, hosts answer questions from fellow listeners. The week ends with Friday’s show where podcast hosts discuss recent news or random Disney topics.
