Disney Channel is a childhood staple. As a kid, you HAD to have watched some form of Disney Channel whether it was a TV show, cartoon, movie, etc. These TV shows, cartoons, and movies made us laugh, go on adventures, and see a world outside our own where blonde twins race luggage carts and red-headed cheerleaders save the world from evil. It's impossible not to love Disney Channel and here are 10 ways you know you definitely grew up a Disney Channel kid.
1) You got HYPED when you saw this
(GIPHY)
"Let's watch a Disney Channel movie!" You always knew something good was coming after this and probably always hoped for your favorite.
2) Mixed shows
(GIPHY)
When things like this happened it was the best day of your life. Easily the best episodes, ever.
3) Disneychannel.com
(GIPHY)
These games could provide hours of entertainment and honestly, it's a tragedy they're not still there to play; RIP Stitch Speed Chase and 625 Sandwich Stacker.
4) Disney 365
(GIPHY)
Clearly the most trustworthy news service in the game. This is where you got all the gossip and important news for the week.
5) "And you're watching Disney Channel"
(GIPHY)
You've definitely tried this out yourself once or twice wondering how cool it would be to actually do it in real life. Even if you couldn't you would hope to see your favorite characters do it.
6) The Disney Channel Games(GIPHY)
Obviously this was even better than the Olympics. Michael Phelps has nothing on David Henry.
7) Birthday parties
(GIPHY)
If you didn't have at least one birthday party themed with your favorite show, you did it wrong.
8) Radio Disney
(GIPHY)
All your favorite stars in one place, singing, what could be better?
9) There's 104 days of summer vacation
(GIPHY)
Knowing every single word to this song was what made it so much fun. I don;t know where they lived, but having 104 days of summer vacation sounded amazing.
10) The big screen 
(GIPHY)
And of course, when your favorite show or star made it big time, you always went to go see them in theaters; it's only right.
Whether you were a hardo or just watched a little here and there, Disney made an impression on all of us because at the end of the day, we're all in this together!
