Any questions about my time at The Disney Channel?

Christy giving us Disney tea while wearing a SpongeBob Nickelodeon tea shirt is iconic

Early 2000’s was the golden age of Disney. Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire were everything to my pre-teen soul.

[ChrisJProductionz]

That era of Disney Channel like 1997-2006 was one of the greatest eras in Disney Channel, Raven, Anneliese, Kyla Pratt, Orlando Brown, Shia Labeouf, Hilary Duff, Christy, etc.. I just wanna thank you for making my childhood complete

[sashanico]

The Circle of Life. For me, it was heart wrenching because as a teen, me and my best friend were obsessed with you, Hilary, and all things Disney. So when she died, in early 2004, it was hard to watch our favorite shows, alone. I purposely avoided the Circle of Life for that reason. I just rewatched it and it is beautiful.

Disney Channel Circle of Stars was the “We Are The World” for kids in the early 2000s

[beaniegee]

Circle of Life by Disney's Circle of Stars is still a banger to this day!!

[tiffa]

It sucks that we never got a Lizzie McGuire, and Even Stevens crossover.

[josephmendoza]

You, Hilary Duff, Raven Symone, Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Aly & AJ. Ricky Ullman, Kyla Pratt, Shia LaBeouf, Tia & Tamera Mowry & Tahj Mowry. And of course Lee Thompson young will always be the best Disney Channel stars :)

I find it funny how you described that it was such a task making sure everyone's schedules lined up, while I always pictured the execs being like "Guys. We are literally *Disney.* We will MAKE the time."

[yvettelaurence]

Thank you so much for consistently talking straight to the point and not having a long intro. So refreshing!

[notyayo]

I remember being so excited seeing you all together thinking "they are the best of friends! How cool!" It's really cool to now hear what it was all really like.

[SlayByJay]

It’s crazy how Christy was such a huge part of my childhood… and now we’re both moms and all grown up and it’s just a trip and super cool and I love how relatable she is

[RavenDots]

One of the episodes of Even Stevens that is so memorable to me is the musical one. I still have the “We went to the moon in 1969…” stuck in my head and out of no where popping in to distract me from life 😅😅 I would love to hear you talk about the filming of that episode ❤️ I remember all the behind the scenes they used to show during breaks throughout the week before the premiere of that episode. It seemed like the cast had a blast 😄

[jeremycoleman]

I remember watching and listening to the Disney Circle of Stars performing Circle of Life in 2003 to commemorate the Lion King special edition DVD and you, Hillary Duff, Raven, and so many Disney Channel stars singing this cherish song and I was like beyond moved and I was in tears after the song was over.

[MannysMillennialMouth]

The Circle of Star; the Express Yourself Commercials; the New Years Eve Specials; Disney Channel Games; The Network really marketed y'all to us and it work because y'all are deep in our memories

This song really changed my mood when first heard it at age 15. I was in a dark time when i was young and the only thing that always cheered me up was music. I grew up watching all of them and this music video felt like that moment when you open your Christmas gift yo just smile. That song and video meant so much to me that I found friends who loves that song as much as I do. When i was sad i would listen to this and it always makes me happy. And yes you did a Mariah Carey moment at the end of the song and it always makes wanna yell like that when that part comes hahaha! Always fun to hear these things and I was just watching the Halloween episode of Even Stevens last night...still hilarious.

[lexiibkg]

This was cute af, hearing your memories & feelings of this experience as someone who got absolutely ecstatic when seeing the music video air during breaks on Disney Channel. I felt that it was really special to see all you guys working together in one single effort. Such a monumental moment in Disney Channel history!

[giustinosuarez]

I'm a 22 year old graduate student and I will GLADLY admit that listening to the Circle of Life immediately transports me back in time to the fall of 2004 when my mom played this on our car's cassette tape player on my first day of kindergarten. Thank you SO much for giving countless members of generation Z like me happy memories to fall back on Christy!

Circle of Stars is extremely nostalgic for me! It's so interesting to hear about the behind the scenes action
