13 Moments We Had When Disney Channel Announced Its Movie Marathon

If this isn't a Throwback Thursday, I don't know what is.

13 Moments We Had When Disney Channel Announced Its Movie Marathon
Buzzfeed

Us '90s kids have already thrown our own Disney movie marathon with friends, fan favorites, and snacks, but it gets better. Our dreams are finally coming true thanks to the network we all watched every day after school and every night, before we used to go out, Disney Channel.

Why, you ask? First, this spectacular news does not require a why since we just care that it is happening. Second, Disney Channel is releasing its 100th original movie and wants to thank its fans over the years of its previous movies. From May 27 to May 30, the most viewed 51 movies will be shown, and the remaining 49 will be aired in June. We'll take what we can get. Four days. 51 OG movies. Let the nostalgia begin. And yes, I'll be using Disney Channel OG gifs just to get you even more pumped.

1. Realizing it's not just a rumor

There have been rumors of sequels to DC (and no, not Detective Comics) original movies like "High School Musical," "Hocus Pocus," and "Descendants." Granted "High School Musical 4" is coming out, but not with the original cast. Translation, we will not be watching it. The point is our inner kid has gotten its hopes up and let down before, so this was probably the best news received all week.

2. Telling all your friends

They did not believe you at first either, but once they did it was nonstop screaming and jumping.

3. Researching it

There is a schedule and everything. It is during Memorial Day Weekend, so thank you Disney for recognizing the many college students that don't have cable or the free time to enjoy this beautiful event.

4. Noticing a lot of favorites are not on the list

DC movies that won't be aired and that I believe should be on the time slot include "Luck of the Irish," "The Color of Friendship," and "Go Figure."

5. Strategizing a plan

No time for eating! First you order the importance of each movie, from most to least of course. Then you figure out bathroom, eating, and sleeping breaks. I'm just kidding, I know there won't be any sleep to waste this precious time.

6. Being honest with yourself

You obviously can't watch every single one without passing out or having a mental breakdown. Don't worry, you can DVR the movies that you will miss. Then watch them all over again while throwing your next Disney marathon!

7. Inviting the crew

You got to gather everyone and decide whose house you're watching it at and who can bring what snacks. Also, does anyone finally notice what Fifteen Cent (that name though) meant by that? I thought this was a kid's movie, Disney.

8. Contemplating dressing up

This may seem like I'm joking but I'm not. This is a very special time and I think it deserves going all out. There are so many options too: a princess in a protection program, commander of the 21st century, or a Lemonade Mouth band member.

9. Explaining the no talking rule during the marathon

You may miss the twitches save their mother and the kingdom of Coventry from the Darkness or Kim and Shego duking it out over Drakken's kidnaping plan. Yes, I am still very into these stories.

10. Playing all your Disney music to get hyped (you know it's on your iPod still, don't lie)

Ours are too Troy, our are too. We didn't watch those sing alongs and dance marathons on TV for nothing! Every single person who has seen these movies when they came out has every lyric and dance move memorized, guaranteed, and we are damn proud of it.

11. Practicing this routine since it's been awhile

Single handedly the coolest twist of events that my five year old saw happen in a movie. I shall practice and I shall master this.

12. Realizing it will have to end at one point

Keep in mind, this is a totally normal reaction. What to do with the rest of your summer vacation? No one knows.

13. Wondering if it will ever happen again

I hope this turns into a yearly thing so all the '90s and '00s kids can reverse back in time (like Kim P.) watching these movies with their families and friends every month. I'll never forget the daily Halloween and Disney specials!

These movies were our childhood and I for one appreciate going back to that time. It will be fun being a kid again cheering on the Wildcats and laughing at Suga Mama never listening to Oscar. In addition to being aired May and June, all the original Disney Channel movies will be for sale on various platforms like iTunes and Amazon.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

11 Signs You Grew Up In Hauppauge, NY

Because no one ever really leaves.

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.
