๐ Sharing A Ton of Disney Channel Valentine's Day Content & More ~ Happy Valentine's Day ๐
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! ๐๐๐
I know... I know... It's not February 14th. ๐ But, if you haven't been here to see my two previous posts, then let me tell you the exciting news...
We're celebrating Valentine's Day a weekend early and it's been SO much fun! ๐๐
This post was originally going to go up next Monday, which is Valentine's Day! ๐But, I am so excited to share all of this awesome content with you that I NEED to post it now! ๐
So, let's celebrate today by pretending today is VALENTINE'S DAY! Yay! ๐๐
I have SO much content to share with you and I'm honestly not sure how I'm going to do it, but I'll figure it out as I go along! ๐
So, shall we get started? Yay! I love that you're excited to see all the LOVE this post is full of! ๐
Let's do this! ๐
๐๐๐๐๐
Disney Channel in the U.S. didn't have a ton of Valentine's Day promos, like the UK and other countries had. ๐ However, it did have a couple and one of them is super special and nostalgic! ๐ Let's check it out...
The "I Love Lizzie Marathon" might have been years ago, but today we're bringing it back with some fun Lizzie McGuire content! ๐ How cute was it that viewers could send in emails to Lizzie and get the chance to see them on TV?!? ๐ So, from the information I've gathered, the "I Love Lizzie Marathon" was something that happened at least a couple years in a row on Disney Channel! I've found promos from 2001, 2002, and 2004... I'm not sure about 2003! ๐
Can you blame them for hosting the same marathon for years? Nope! Not at all because Lizzie McGuire is iconic! Also, each year had a different style and flare to it and I'm sure different episodes were picked each year for the marathon! ๐ Let's check out a promo from the year 2001 and see the differences between the one above from 2004! ๐
So, are these promos making you want to watch Lizzie McGuire as much as me? I thought so! ๐ Well, I got you covered! Throughout this post, there will be "Lizzie Breaks" and those breaks will be filled with friendship and crush-worthy moments between Lizzie and Gordo (to prove to my sister that they were meant for each other lol) and some more fun "I Love Lizzie" marathon content! ๐ So, what are we waiting for?!? Let's have one of those "Lizzie Breaks" right now! ๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
Lizzie isn't the only star of today's post! ๐ Remember when I mentioned that there is SO much content I have for this post? Well, this post wouldn't have nearly as much fun as it does without my mind thinking of one song...
YOUR LOVE'S LIKE ~ SABRINA CARPENTER
Ever since first hearing that song, I've associated it with Valentine's Day! ๐ If you're wondering why, then you'll soon find out by taking a listen to this wholesome song! But, the song isn't the only thing I'm excited to show you! ๐ There isn't a music video, or even a lyric video, to this song... which means I had to do something I've NEVER done before and create my own video for the song! ๐ I decided since it's Valentine's Day ๐ that I would create a video filled with moments from some of my FAVORITE ships! ๐ So, are you ready to see it? Ahhhh, I'm so excited! This is my first ever edit for a song! ๐
P.S. There are some Jake and Miley moments from Hannah Montana in this video that are cute, but I'm not the biggest fan of any Hannah Montana series ship. I just loved Jake and Miley as a kid and that's why their included in this. ๐
I hope you enjoyed watching my edit! ๐ Now you know why I think of Valentine's Day when listening to that song because it actually mentions Valentine's Day! ๐
So, when I created that edit, it turned into many many many more edits! ๐ But, they aren't song/ship edits! Well, some of them involve a ship... I'm talking a real ship ๐ข and a love interest ship! ๐ Do you have any guesses as to what is next?
When making that edit, I was deciding which couples I wanted to use, which brought me to a ship I didn't quite remember sailed or sunk... on the love interest side of things... not the actual ship ๐ข sinking. I'm sure you know by now what Disney Channel show I'm talking about...
The Suite Life On Deck
I remember this show being really judgy and sometimes funny... which, one of those isn't the best thing to remember about a show! However, I also remembered Zack having a girlfriend that lasted longer than a few episodes. ๐ So, I watched all of the Zack and Maya (the girl he liked for the longest amount of time) scenes and came to the conclusion that I have no idea if I ship them or not. ๐
So, of course, I wanted to ask your opinion! ๐ But, you might be like me and not remember a lot of their scenes together. Well, I have this covered too! ๐ I've made some edits of mostly all of their scenes together and they're split up into four parts! But, what's even cooler is the fact that Disney Channel UK had a promo they did for Valentine's Day called "Suite-Hearts Day" ๐ Get it? Suite as in Suite Life On Deck, but "Suite" is used in replace of "Sweethearts"... Disney Channel UK was genius! ๐
So, in honor of Suite-Hearts Day, let's check out the first part of Zack and Maya's love story! ๐
SUITE-HEARTS DAY BREAK
I truly think Disney Channel UK had some genius ideas when it came to Valentine's Day! ๐ Not only did they have Suite Hearts Day, but they also did a promo called "Love It Up", which was a take on "Shake It Up"... and you all know how I feel about Shake It Up! ๐๐
How amazing was that promo?!? ๐ Well, of course, I couldn't let the fun stop there! When it comes to Shake It Up, I have to go BIG! So, throughout this post, we'll have "Dance Breaks" where I'll be sharing ten different Shake It Up dances picked specially for Valentine's Day! ๐ So, let's get on our feet and dance along with CeCe and Rocky in our first Dance Break! ๐๐
LOVE IT UP DANCE BREAK
The awesome Shake It Up dance songs aren't the only music you'll be hearing throughout this post! ๐ต
Austin and Ally are one of the ships on Disney Channel that had the MOST screen time together and were super cute best friends before any romance happened! ๐ Their music partnership was just as special because it was how they first began to become super close! So, of course, this post wouldn't be the same without some cute A&A love songs! ๐
I've picked four songs, one from each season, and all four of them are some of my FAVORITES from the series! ๐ So, you ready to rock out with Austin and Ally? ๐ธ Hit it!
A&A MUSIC BREAK
Now, I've been saving the BEST for last! ๐ One of the BEST ideas Disney Channel ever had were the "Express Yourself" commercial breaks! ๐ I LOVE watching the OG Disney Channel stars answer different questions because it gives you an insight on what they're like in real life! ๐ฅ I have some really fun and nostalgic "Express Yourself" moments that I can't wait to rewatch myself! ๐ So, let's just jump right in and feel free to "Express Yourself" in the comments by discussing the same questions the stars are during these breaks! ๐
EXPRESS YOURSELF BREAK
Now, there are some other fun things I want to share with you, but they don't quite fit into any of the "breaks" above! ๐ So, I'm going to create a category specifically for the extra content that is it's own type of fun! ๐
EXTRA FUN
Now that we have all of the content categories sorted, we can continue the fun! ๐ Let's go!
๐๐๐๐๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
I chose this dance because I LOVE the song "Contagious Love" and this was also and 80's inspired dance, which goes perfectly with the vibe of the song! ๐ Oh, and the outfits are some of my all-time FAVORITES! ๐
SUITE-HEARTS DAY BREAK
So, in this part of Zack and Maya's love story, they have now decided to become more than friends! ๐ Do you think they should have stayed just friends? Even though Zack lied a lot during the birthday episode, it was cute how much effort he put into making Maya's birthday special! ๐ Zack's character is starting to really care about Maya... I guess we'll have to wait and see if becoming more than friends works out for them! Part three will be coming up soon! ๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
Aw! These Lizzie and Gordo moments keep getting sweeter and sweeter! ๐ Poor Gordo wasn't invited to the pool party, but let's be honest, that tie-dying sequence at the end seemed a hundred times more fun than a pool party! ๐ The music, the editing, the characters, the lessons... Man, this show is just so nostalgic and amazing! ๐
Gordo tells Lizzie in that clip that she's his best friend! ๐ Let's see what Gordo has to say about what it's like being Lizzie's friend.
EXTRA FUN
Here are a couple of more fun Disney Channel Valentine's Day promos! ๐
This promo is probably really relatable to kids this year because it starts off gloomy talking about how Valentine's Day falls on a Monday, the start of a new week... meaning school! ๐ But, then all the color comes on screen and gets you excited to watch all the Disney Channel shows! ๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
Get your tissues ready for this next scene... ๐ข๐
Gordo was so close to sharing his feelings to Lizzie, but it wasn't the right moment! ๐ This scene is so sweet and one of my favorites of Gordo and Lizzie! Poor Lizzie was heartbroken, but Gordo always can make her laugh, even in the midst of crying! ๐
Here's another clip of Gordo sharing what he loves about Lizzie... ๐
EXPRESS YOURSELF BREAK
Let's see which Disney Channel stars chose Valentine's Day as their favorite holiday... ๐
I have A LOT of favorite holidays, but of course my top one is Christmas! ๐ But, I do love ALL the birthdays in my family because it's fun celebrating the people you love! ๐ And, of course, Valentine's Day is special! ๐น๐
SUITE-HEARTS DAY BREAK
So, now that there's only one more part of their love story to go, what do you think about their relationship? ๐ Every time I watch these clips and try to decide if I ship them, my mind focuses on how funny Cody is, especially the last clip! โค๐ Let's still think about it and discuss what we think after we watch part four in a bit! ๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
This scene was cute and awkward at the same time! ๐ In this clip, Lizzie actually makes the move and asks Gordo to dance with her! ๐ It's sweet how Gordo tells Lizzie that he likes her better as her and not the "mystery-woman" she was trying to be for Ethan! ๐
It was fun seeing Miranda in this clip, as well! ๐ Let's see what she has to say about being one of Lizzie's best friends!
EXTRA FUN
I want to know how you feel about Valentine's Day this year by seeing which Alex Russo you are... ๐
Are you Alex Russo number one? ๐
Or Alex Russo number two? ๐
I'm for sure Alex Russo number one! ๐ Self-love is so important! So, if you want, go buy yourself some flowers this Valentine's Day because like Alex Russo number one says, "Whose going to be kinder to me than me!" ๐ธ๐น
A&A MUSIC BREAK
Are you ready for love song number two from season two of Austin and Ally? Me too! ๐ Let's see which one I've chosen...
Disney Channel literally created a montage of all the cute Austin and Ally moments and played them as Austin sang his true feelings to Ally! ๐ข๐ This is such a sweet song and it's the first time in the series that Austin admits he likes Ally as more than friends! ๐ The montage, the song, them looking into each others eyes... this scene is perfect! ๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
I love this scene because Gordo seems so lost and confused by Lizzie! ๐๐ I love how every time he begins to agree with Lizzie, she switches it around as if he's wrong when he was just agreeing with what she said two seconds ago! ๐
Lizzie and Miranda might have not been on good terms in that episode, but everything got worked out and of course, they are still best friends! ๐ So, here's more of what Miranda had to say about her and Lizzie's friendship...
EXTRA FUN
Let's see what fun was going on at the Radio Disney headquarters on Valentine's Day! ๐
SUITE-HEARTS DAY BREAK
Are you ready to watch the last part of Zack and Maya's love story? ๐ Let's see if there's a happily ever after...
Well, that ship sunk really really low! ๐ I'm not sure if I'm sad or if I think Zack deserved better... What do you think? It's sad because Zack was going to break-up with Maya, but then realized for the first time ever he was in love! ๐ข I think it doesn't make sense why Maya broke up with him, considering she didn't want to just be another girl he liked and wanted him to be more serious about their relationship. But, then she has him fall in love with her just to dump him... ๐๐ I feel bad for Zack, but he deserved better now that he had changed and proved he could handle a serious relationship! ๐
At least at the end of the series, we see Cody and Zack both supporting each other's heartbreaks! ๐ Siblings over romance! ๐ One is forever and one is only short lasting... most of the time! ๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
What is up with all of these heartbreaks? ๐ This is a short scene, but still one worth watching! ๐ Gordo is always there for Lizzie and it proves it in this scene! ๐ But, someone else is always there for Lizzie too! Before Gordo walked in, Lizzie's mom was giving her a pep-talk and trying to make her feel better! ๐ Her dad is also there for her when she needs advice!
Here's what Lizzie's mom and dad had to say about Lizzie as a baby...
EXPRESS YOURSELF BREAK
I love this "Express Yourself" topic because it's so funny seeing the Disney Channel stars smile so big thinking about their crushes! ๐๐ But, I am SO with Lalaine (Miranda on Lizzie McGuire) with being single and loving it! Go her for saying that! ๐
Warning: This next dance song WILL get stuck in your head... ๐ต
EXTRA FUN
Remember when I said the UK gets creative with their Disney Channel Valentine's Day promos? ๐ Well, I have another cute one to share with you! ๐ Let's check it out...
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
I truly think Lizzie was starting to realize at the end of these scenes that she likes Gordo as more than a friend! ๐ I love how close all three of the characters are as friends and how Gordo says he not only missed Lizzie, but Miranda as well! ๐ A lot of people think Gordo and Miranda are only friends because of Lizzie, but I think they have their cute friendship moments as well without Lizzie being in the middle. ๐ I loved how Gordo decided to wait to go to high school until he could go with Lizzie and Miranda! They are truly the three musketeers! ๐
There is a fourth musketeer, though, and while Lizzie and him might fight a lot... they also love each other! ๐ But, Matt might need some time to think about why he loves Lizzie...
EXPRESS YOURSELF BREAK
Miley sure was giggly over boys! ๐ Ah, the pure and innocent stage of a young-love crush! ๐ I'm sure we were ALL giggly over someone as kids... ๐ I see you mentally going through your younger-self crushes! ๐๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
If you remember in the "I Love Lizzie Marathon" promo when it said a brand new episode of Lizzie McGuire was premiering that night, then get excited because you're about to see a clip from that very episode! ๐ But... there's a little more to it than that! ๐
That episode was actually the series finale before the movie! Say what?!? Yep. The series finale premiered on Valentine's Day in 2004! ๐ However, I believe the episode "Bye, Bye, Hillridge Junior High" is the true finale episode! ๐ I think the reason they premiered episodes after the "goodbye" episode was due to the fact that Miranda wasn't in the "goodbye" episode and a few of the ones before that. They must have wanted to have her on some of the last episodes. So, they premiered this one along with nine more before it to show that Miranda was still a part of the end of the series! ๐ Does that make sense? That's my theory! ๐
So, even though this episode is listed as the finale, it's not the last clip you'll see during this post because that will be from the true "goodbye" episode! ๐ It's still a very funny episode and I can't wait to watch the clips again! ๐ So, what are we waiting for?!?
Okay, that episode is actually so good and has a great message! ๐ And let's be honest, who hasn't gone back to watch some of their childhood preschool shows? Um... Dora The Explorer anyone?!? โ๐ This episode is so funny and deep at the same time! I love the ending scene and how Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda stick up for themselves even if they feel embarrassed at first for doing it! ๐
So, as you saw, Pocahontas was coming up next after that episode! ๐ I watched Pocahontas in December and loved it! ๐ But, did you know that there was a song taken out of the movie and only found on the anniversary DVDs and VHS tapes? Crazy, right?!? I'm about to show you the AMAZING song I'm talking about, but first, another Disney star has something to share with us... ๐
I have faint memories of watching Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen... woah, that's a long title! ๐ But, I didn't remember all of it, until I watched it last week! I had randomly found the song "Drama Queen (That Girl)" and couldn't stop listening to it! ๐ Then, I found this Lindsey Lohan Valentine's Day promo for the movie and knew I HAD to watch the movie! ๐ Let's just say that the movie is a crazy ride that is full of teenage angst and drama, but I LOVED it! Well, most of it! ๐ Her performance at the end of the movie is iconic and I had to share it here! ๐ So, let's get into the drama... ๐
That was amazing, wasn't it? I mean, what an iconic moment! ๐โญ
Now, it's time to hear the deleted song from Pocahontas! ๐ This song might not be as hyped as the previous one, but it's really emotional and sweet! ๐ Get your tissues ready... it's a bittersweet one! ๐ข๐๐
Wow! That was a tear-jerker! ๐๐ข That song should have been in the movie! It's amazing! ๐
I love this friendship song because it's so sweet and it reminds me of me and my sisters! ๐ I wish we could've gotten to see a full performance of this song, but I still love this scene! ๐ Oh, and CeCe's outfit is perfect for Valentine's Day! ๐
EXTRA FUN
I feel A.N.T. Farm songs are overlooked sometimes, but the show did have some good ones! ๐ The covers that China did were especially good! Including this next one all about believing that you are truly beautiful no matter what anyone says! ๐ A message that someone might need to hear this Valentine's Day! You are beautiful! ๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
A&A MUSIC BREAK
Song number three from season three is coming your way right now... ๐๐
This is another cute acoustic performance from Austin and I love it! ๐ I'm not sure if Ally and Austin were dating in this episode, but you can tell it's pretty obvious he's singing this to Ally! ๐ It's cute because he was nervous to sing again for the reviewer guy, but you can see him start to become confident when he looks to Ally and starts singing to her! ๐ Aw! So sweet!
EXTRA FUN
This next clip is very very random, but I just had to share it because it's so cute! ๐ I'll give you a hint... he's the cutest monkey to ever exist! ๐๐๐
Curious George is just the cutest! ๐๐ต
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
EXTRA FUN
Elementary School was the BEST, especially when it came to Valentine's Day! ๐ My sisters and I would pick out character-themed boxes of cards and write everyone in our classes names down and put them in the little bags on their desks! ๐ It was the cutest and picking out which themed cards you were going to give that year was so much fun! ๐
I was reminded of all of those memories when I watched this interview with Bella and Zendaya from Shake It Up... ๐
When Zendaya shared her memories of doing the same card tradition in Elementary school, it made me want to go down memory lane! ๐ So, I found these! ๐
The memories! ๐ It took me some searching, but I found pictures of some of the card options we had as kids! Now, maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me, but I think I actually picked out those Camp Rock cards when I was in Elementary School! ๐ They just look so familiar! So, which card box would you pick out this year to give to your friends? I would definitly go with the Shake It Up ones, of course! But, I also love the Lizzie McGuire and Dora The Explorer ones! The Dora ones are so cute and bright! ๐๐
EXPRESS YOURSELF BREAK
These "Express Yourself" commercials literally never get old! ๐ The stars are so young and funny, especially when talking about the opposite gender! ๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
I love this episode! ๐ It's one of my FAVORITES! ๐ Gordo is "confused guy"!! Say what?!? I know. It's all so romantic! ๐ I love the song at the end and the awkward slow-motion! Lol. ๐ This scene is super cute and Gordo officially reveals to the audience that he's in love with Lizzie! Aw! ๐
I love Lizzie's outfit in the last scene! ๐ The mesh-sleeved black top is so classy and cute! โค Here's what her dad has to say about her fashion...
A&A MUSIC BREAK
Are you ready for the last love song from Austin and Ally? ๐ Okay, season four here we come...
This is not only the last Austin and Ally song on this post, but it was the very last of the series! ๐ I love this duet! I didn't love the finale, but I loved this song! ๐ It's different than any other Austin and Ally song and it's so beautiful! ๐
So, out of the four Austin and Ally songs I chose for this special Valentine's Day post, which season's was your favorite? ๐ I think I love the last season's the best, but they were all so good! ๐
While Austin and Ally sing that they are two in a million, someone else thinks that you are one in a million... ๐
EXTRA FUN
So, this next clip is solely for my sister Alyssa (Back To Disney Blog)! ๐ I hope you enjoy it, Alyssa! ๐
EXTRA FUN
I am so excited for what's next! ๐ I'll give you a hint at what it is with this next clip...
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
Before we watch another super sweet Lizzie and Gordo moment, Matt has something to say... ๐
Now, back to Lizzie and Gordo! ๐
This was a fun episode because they did a different spin on the game Clue and made it into a "real-life" mystery game at Lizzie's house! ๐ This is a BIG episode for Lizzie and Gordo because what Gordo told us (the audience) about his "confused boy" email in the other episode gets revealed to Lizzie in this episode! Gordo has a crush on her! ๐ This is when all of our younger-selves saw the ship starting to take off... before we even knew what "shipping" was... ๐ข๐
EXTRA FUN
If you didn't know from previous posts, this is my FAVORITE Shake It Up dance from the series! ๐ And it hasn't changed since I first saw this dance on TV! ๐ I love the song, the choreography, and of course, the outfits! ๐
EXPRESS YOURSELF BREAK
All of the fun stuff in the post is coming to an end, including the "Express Yourself" clips! ๐ข I know... I know... it's all so bittersweet! ๐
This one is so funny! ๐๐ Some of the stars seemed so over the topic and some acted like they knew EVERYTHING about the topic! Lol. ๐ Who did you relate to more with their answers? Shadia seemed very exhausted by even thinking about boys and that's super relatable! ๐๐
I LOVE LIZZIE BREAK
