  • Is Disney Destiny a Sneak Peek at Villains Land?!
    Mar 27 2026

    Is the Disney Destiny giving us our first real look at Villains Land? 👀 This week, Lauren shares insights from her sailing and what it might reveal about the future of Disney villains at the parks.

    🏴‍☠️ Is the Disney Destiny a Preview of Villains Land?

    Could Disney Cruise Line be quietly testing ideas for the parks? After sailing aboard the brand-new Disney Destiny, Lauren is connecting the dots between what she experienced onboard and what Disney has teased for a future Villains Land at Walt Disney World.

    From themed spaces to character interactions and immersive storytelling, this episode explores whether the Disney Destiny is more than just a cruise ship… and instead a preview of what's coming next.

  • Our Disney Guilty Pleasures (And Listener Confessions!)
    Mar 13 2026

    Everyone has them… those Disney experiences you know might not be the "best" or most popular — but you love them anyway. This week on Rope Drop Radio we're revealing our guilty pleasures at Walt Disney World, plus sharing some hilarious and surprising submissions from our listeners.

    🏰 Guilty Pleasures at Walt Disney World

    On this episode of Rope Drop Radio, we're embracing the fun side of Disney fandom by sharing the experiences we secretly (or not so secretly) love at Walt Disney World.

    These might not always be the most efficient use of park time, the most popular rides, or even the best food… but for whatever reason, they make our Disney trips better.

    From underrated attractions to quirky snacks and relaxing park habits, we're sharing the things that bring us joy — even if they might raise a few eyebrows.

    We also asked listeners to share their Disney guilty pleasures, and some of their answers might surprise you!
