19 Disney Channel Movies That Define Every Millennial's Childhood

I think I can speak for most '90s babies, if not all millennials, when I say Disney Channel Original Movies were IT back in the day. So in honor of some of the greatest movies that nearly shaped my entire childhood, here are just some of the best:


1. Tower of Terror (1997):

This movie gave me a panic attack almost every time I watched it, but that never stopped me. Pretty sure I also broke the VCR from watching it too many times (sorry not sorry).


2. My Date with the President's Daughter (1998):

Duncan Fletcher, you lucky guy you, even though your real name is Eric Matthews. I know I speak for many when I say all I wanted in life was to be Hallie Richmond.


3. The Thirteenth Year (1999):

The kid grew fins... Need I say more?


4. Smart House (1999):

Pat, you were kind of an evil wench towards the end, but who wouldn't want a house that's programmed to basically do anything you ask? I'm still waiting on mine.


5. Life-Size (2000):

15 years later and I'm still wondering if Sunnyvale is actually a real place?


6. Model Behavior (2000):


Switching lives with your long lost twin, dating every 90's girl's heartthrob aka JT. Ugh, sign me up!


7. Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire (2000):

I knew from the moment they met in the grocery store that Dimitri was a bad seed. Nothing but hella creepy vibes coming from that one, but thankfully it all turned out okay in the end.


8. Phantom of the Megaplex (2000):

This movie absolutely scarred me from entering a movie theater until about the age of 12, but Pete Riley made it worth every single time. <3


9. Motocrossed (2001):

Andy was a total badass and taught us that we can do anything we set our minds to regardless of our gender. GIRL POWER!


10. The Luck of the Irish (2001):

Ryan Merriman, you're hot. You may have been a leprechaun for half the movie, but you're still hot (pointy ears and all).


11. Double Teamed (2002):

This movie quite possibly could have been the only reason I stuck with playing basketball until the 8th grade. Wishful thinking that somewhere along the way I'd turn into Heidi Burge.


12. Cadet Kelly (2002):

The 2 lessons learned from this movie; a) I never wanted to go to military school and b) Christy Carlson Romano's favorite word is maggot.


13. Gotta Kick It Up! (2002):

"Si se puede!" "Si se puede!"


14. Get a Clue (2002):

If Lindsay Lohan had a spy kit, I had a spy kit.


15. Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off (2003):

The original Troy Bolton battling between playing baseball and cooking. Our hearts really went out to ya, Eddie.


16. The Cheetah Girls (2003):

"Cause we are sisters, we stand together. We make up one big family though we don't look the same."


17. Pixel Perfect (2004):

Phil of the Future creating a girl from the future, am I the only one finding this ironic?


18. Stuck in the Suburbs (2004):

You work those frosted tips Jordan Cahill. My 10 year old self strived to "accidentally" switch cell phones with a celebrity while out in public, but I live in Connecticut so that just wasn't happening.


19. High School Musical (2006):


Because there is just nothing better than Zac Efron circa 2006.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
