r/DisneyChannel

Just wanted to share a cool thing that happened at Disney Channel Nite @ Disneyland last week :) My bf and I did a Troy & Gabriella look and I wound up matching the mannequin in the costume archive (I had no idea it’d be there when I planned our outfits!) Super cool to be wearing this while seeing the actual dress and necklace. The photo op was also cute!

honestly it was so random giving sharpay her own movie. last time I watched it was in 2020 but it was alright but she was annoying But got better towards the end.

also happy birthday to me

Wizards of Waverly Place used to be one of my favorite as a kid, lkke top 3 Disney shows but now I don't like it so much? Like the characters are funny, Alex is an icon, but I don't feel like rewatching it. And Sunny with a chance used to be one of my least favorites, always thought it was too cringrey but now...I still find it cringe but it makes me laugh lmao, is one of my favorite shows to rewatch

The first case also happened with That's so Raven, I remember liking it as a kid but tried rewatching it and I don't find it that funny :(

Symoné revealed that she had the first of two breast reduction surgeries at the suggestion of the adults around her.

“I went from a triple D all the way down to a B. Someone said I needed to do it in order to get a show,” she recalled, adding that her father also “suggested strongly” that she have the procedure done.

Symoné also shared that she opted to get liposuction at the same time in an effort to quiet external chatter about her size. “I was like, ‘Yeah, if I get lipo, will people stop calling me fat?’ And so, I got a twofer,’ ” she said.

She suffered a seizure when she awoke due to the anesthesia, and she said she still has scars on her breasts more than 20 years later.

“I have scars. I still have scar tissue to this day,” she shared. “And I gained weight after and had to, like, go back for a quick little, like, [get] a little bit more out ‘cause [my breasts] were still too big for others’ feelings.”

Can we please stop comparing the girls? The comparisons aren’t necessary... They all played a part.

Yes, Raven sparked this conversation with her “Mount Rushmore,” but she’s entitled to her opinion. She was focusing on the people who helped build the channel. Miley came later. That doesn’t make anyone less important. They’re all iconic in different ways.

Miley was hugely popular and widely recognized, but she was also inspired by earlier stars like Hilary Duff. And later stars have openly credited those before them, Zendaya has said Raven influenced her. You can have favorites without dismissing others’ impact.

Miley, Selena, and Demi had major mainstream success, but that foundation didn’t appear out of nowhere.

Even That’s So Raven helped pave the way for Hannah Montana. This wasn’t a competition. It was a shared era with shared influence. It’s also worth acknowledging that there’s broader context to these conversations, including how visibility and opportunities weren’t always distributed equally across talent at the time. That doesn’t take away from anyone’s success. It just helps explain why experiences weren’t identical. Raven has her right to her own opinion on how Disney treated her.

There’s room to respect all of them without ranking or comparing them. They were all influential to the channel, and they all mattered.
