WHAT are they?

WHAT are they?

Do you remember the old "Battle of the Network Stars" show? It's kind of like that, except with the stars of various Disney Channel shows from around the world. They form teams and compete against each other in sporting events, all to raise money for charity. Some of them also sing in concerts that are scheduled throughout the games. The whole thing is taped and highlights are broadcast later on the Disney Channel.

Keep on eye on this site:
http://tv.disney.go.com/disneychannel/disneychannelgames/info/index.html

It still has the ordering info for 2007, but the procedure will probably be similar this year. Basically, when tickets are made available for 2008, you just email Event Services and ask for some (limit of 4).

I haven't seen a press release from Disney yet. But LaughingPlace posted the dates about a week and a half ago:

More importantly, Selena Gomez (who plays Alex Russo in "Wizards of Waverly Place") posted in the Events section of her MySpace page that she would be in Orlando April 26th-May4th to participate in the games. So I'm fairly confident that the dates are correct.

Thanks!Excellent information!I have known about the dates of April 28-May 3 since January when Hal Boedecker,the TV critic for the Orlando Sentinel posted them on his blog,but it is nice to have another source also mention the same dates.Why do you think Disney will not confirm the dates?I have e-mailed WDW Events with no response.Thanks.

Does anyone know what other Disney Channel stars will be participating this year? Besides Selena Gomez, I know the cast of HSM & Hannah Montana usually do... anyone heard for sure? Thanks

I heard a rumor that The Jonas Brothers have said that they will be participating.I would be SHOCKED if Miley Cyrus does not participate.I would also not be suprised if Billy Ray Cyrus participates in some capacity this year-he was participating in Dancing with the Stars during the taping of last year's Games.As for the HSM Stars,I understand that HSM3 is scheduled to begin filming this Spring,so I don't know how that will affect their participation.

 

[DisneyFan83]

Thanks I imagine Miley will probably participate again as well, since she has the last two years. Also, Mitchel Musso is now a voice in Phineas & Ferb, so I would think he probably would be too... also you're probably right about the Jonas Brothers, since they're about to be in Camp Rock & J.O.N.A.S on DC. Also I bet the brothers from Wizards of Waverly Place probably will too. Thanks, guess we'll see soon!

We went last year and are going again this year!

For anyone who was there last year, what were they like? Obviously busy, but how busy? Are there seats? I have no idea what to expect.

The daily tapings were NOT crowded,I think because the Florida schools were still in session,so it was mainly tourists on vacation at the tapings.The taping of the DCG Concert on Friday night was PACKED,again I think because it was Friday night and the local kids were out of school and able to attend.The DCG are taped at Disney's Wide World of Sports at Champion Stadium which has thousands of seats.

Okay, what is the hold up with Disney on giving us the "official" dates for the Disney Channel Games?!?!?!?!?!?!?! When I researched and found out they were going to be the week after we were suppose to be at WDW, we changed our itinerary. Now, come on Disney CONFIRM!

There have been several threads concerning the 2008 Disney Channel Games recently,so I wanted to post some new information for anyone interested.While the "unofficial" dates of April 28-May 3 have been known for quite some time,Disney will soon be releasing official information including ticket information at DisneyChannel.com. The infotmation could be released as early as today.Have fun at the Games!

 

[WEDWDW]

I have some good news. Disney will soon be announcing DCG 2008 information at DisneyChannel.com.,possibly as early as today. I guess it is time to bookmark DisneyChannel.com.
