About The Disney Channel Games

By William Howze


The Disney channel between 2006 and 2008 used to annually air Disney channel games. All of the games had been Olympic- based with the first year's games being produced by 7ATE9 and with the shooting taking location in California. Walt Disney World Resort discovered in Florida was the filming locations for the 2007 and 2008 games with Disney Channel producing the 2007 games and Penn/Bright Entertainment and Buena Vista television being behind the production of the 2008 games.

The 2006 Disney channel games series was first aired in the United States on 10 June 2006 with the first airing in the United Kingdom coming on 3 November 2006. The 2006 Disney games were not featured in any of the performance concert closing and opening ceremonies. The blue team was the 2006 Disney channel games winning team.

Inside the 2007 Disney channel games, numerous stars from other Disney channel nations joined the three teams. This result in the formation of a fourth team: the yellow team. The games had been held at Disney Wide World of Sports Complex in Florida as well as the games came to an end in August of that year. Every competing team played for a different charity that included Starlight Star bright Children's Foundation, UNICEF, Girls and Boys Club among other charities. Many but not all team members had nicknames.

The 2007 Disney channel games winner was the Green team which received a $25000 prize which it donated to the Boys and Girls club. The three other teams also received the very same quantity of funds of which each team donated to its chosen charity organization. The opening concert performance for the 2007 Disney channel games was carried out by Hannah Montana and Corbin Bleu on the 15th of June 2007. The closing concert performance was carried out by Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers and also the cheetah girls on the 25th of august 2007.

The last annual Disney channel games had been held from the 27th of July to 30th of August 2008. The 2008 games featured obstacle courses, relay races along with other five special telecasts that had been half an hour each. Like the previous competitions, the 2008 Disney games were also to benefit diverse charities. At the end of this all, the Inferno (Red) team won the competition and it was awarded the Disney channel games Cup. Nick Jonas and Brenda Song received awards for inferno favorite fans. The 2008 Disney games was the last competition.

In 2009, Disney spokesman said that the annual Disney channel games would not be held for reasons like actor time off, actor unavailability or concert tours. Even so, lately there were reports which Disney confirmed that the Disney channel games will be returning in 2011 but this time under the name "Friends for Change Games". The report said that it really is likely that the 2011 Disney channel games will probably be not as elaborate as the prior ones. Again, the games will not be featuring any international star. Finally, it really is expected that a concert of hope will probably be held at the end of the games for cancer awareness.
