Disney Channel in the 2000’s was a dream; with Hilary Duff, Raven Symone and the Sprouse twins reigning supreme, it was clearly the best time in Disney history. This was the rise of some iconic Disney Channel Original Movies (Thirteenth Year, anyone?) and memorable shows like Phil of the Future and Even Stevens. If you were a Disney kid, you would remember all of these and more–in fact, if you’re a Disney kid, every single thing on this list will make you say YAAAASSS.
