Welcome, Disney lovers.
It’s 2006. You’re 8-years-old and the clock has just struck 8 p.m. You've just put your fuzziest pjs on. You fill up a bowl of ice cream, sit on the couch and turn on the TV. A new episode of "The Suite Life of Zac and Cody" is on, and it's going to be followed with 30 minutes of "Hannah Montana."
Your naive young self has absolutely no worries, and life is good.
Flash forward to 2018. More than a decade has gone by since your favorite Disney shows first aired, and you and your now never-ending list of responsibilities have tragically realized that 2006 was simply too good to us.
You really don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
Here’s to 2006 and it’s glory days:
1. Selena Gomez – Now 25
On and off with Bieber then, on and off with Bieber now. Ah, it’s almost as if nothing has changed at all.
2. Miley Cyrus – Now 25
"Hannah Montana" was 12 years ago? *Tries to remain calm* *Definitely isn’t calm* *Feels the gray hairs coming in*
3. Demi Lovato – Now 25
Oh, Camp Rock was a decade ago? That’s fine with me. Totally not freaking out. Totally. Not.
4. Dylan and Cole Sprouse – Now 25
Is seven years too early for a "Suite Life" reunion? How about at 10 years? Asking for a friend.
5. Nick Jonas – Now 25
OK, it isn't funny anymore. Someone take me back to 2006. I think I'm in the year 3000.
6. Joe Jonas – Now 28
This is real, this is me, why are you a part of DNCE? Those are the lyrics, right?
7. Vanessa Hudgens – Now 29
Sorry Kanye, but the 8-year-old in me will always believe that the “Say Ok” music video with Zac Efron is by far the greatest music video of all time.
8. Zac Efron – Now 30
A man of that beauty is just not allowed to be that number.
9. Hilary Duff – Now 30
Lizzy McGuire is the same age as Troy Bolton? I think someone just threw my entire childhood right out the window.
10. Kevin Jonas – Now 30
It might be 2018, but we still don’t really care about him, right?
11. Jesse McCartney – Now 30
OK fine, you got me. A number doesn’t define a ~beautiful soul.~
12. Ashley Tisdale – Now 32
He said she said she’s brunette now?
13. Raven-Symoné – Now 32
OK Raven, seeing into the future was cool in 2006. Now it’s 2018, though, and we need you to take us back to the past.
Unfortunately, the reminiscing stops here. So thank you, 2006. The 8-year-old in me will always love you.
