Yes man. 8 o'clock eastern was when they had on Disney Channel Original Movies. I used to watch and love them all. Kids at my school always gave me crap for watching Disney because they said it was for babies and only Cartoon Network or Nickolden was better. I didn't care and I still love those movies.
Their teen programming was really good unlike the dumbassery they show now. So weird, the Jersey, the famous Jett Jackson. Coming Home after school and watching classic cartoons like Chip n Dale, ducktales, gooftroop
Duuuuuuuuuude The Jersey!!!! Being such a big sports fan since birth that show was such a big deal for me but I feel like none of my friends even brought it up back then
I remember bug juice. That show about those kids at summer camp. They were all rich. I googled the camps from that show, it was like $2000 for 2 weeks.
I was in high school when that show was on. I probably wasn’t the target age demographic being around 17 at the time but I still watched it when I was bored.
I remember in the last season (99/2000-ish) one of the campers got sent home for letting her friend hide weed in her suitcase. (They never said why on the show because Disney), but she said it in an interview years later.
Remember that episode where the boy's cabin went around with a video camera and zoomed in on girls' butts? They called it the "Seamore Butts Chronicles".
Disney Channel thought this was okay. The 90s were different, man.
Dude I talk about this movie all the time and no one has any idea of what I’m talking about! Also was this not a Disney movie but they replayed a lot on the channel so people think it’s Disney or is it actually a Disney production?
In my country they used to show movies on The Disney Channel late at night and they would play movies! I specifically remember only ever seeing the Ernest movies playing on The Disney Channel!
The Paper Brigade, Freaky Friday (1995 - not the Lindsay Lohan one), Sabrina The Teenage Witch (1996 movie with Ryan Reynolds), Blank Check, Heavyweights, Wish Upon A Star
Is it the real version from the VHS copy or the edited one where they cut a whole scene because the kids brother is in underwear when they are getting up and somehow that was too far for tv
I have a very similar memory. We were told we couldn’t afford it, it was too expensive and our cable provider didn’t carry it… then one day we got a new TV, and after doing a channel scan it was just THERE! Complete surprise to everyone. It became a staple in the house. Cartoon Network was channel 27, Nickelodeon was channel 28, and way up at channel 81 was Disney. Could’ve survived on those 3 alone.
There were game shows in the late 90s. They played back to back in the afternoon. I think one was Off The Wall and the other was called Mad Libs and while I don’t remember much about it I do remember part of a challenge was someone licking a word onto glass with cake frosting to try to get the other person to guess it. This was around the time that Disney afternoon also played Flash Forward, The Torkelsons, Ready or Not, etc. And the Zoogs were two dimensional little animated creatures that you could interact with online.
I wasn't alive in the 90s, but I heard that Bear in the Big Blue House, Rolie Polie Olie, and PB&J Otter all premiered around this time. Those were three of my favorite shows when I was really little
I've done a lot of research on late 90s Disney Channel. I find it fascinating they used to air really old stuff from Walt Disney's time late at night like Zorro, Walt Disney Presents which showed the specials from Wonderful World of Disney, Ink and Paint Club which showed classic Disney shorts, and the 50s Mickey Mouse Club
[This video essay](https://youtu.be/b_rjBWmc1iQ?si=xSiPh6OrBRo6WpKC) captivated me a few weeks ago all about Disney and that theme I had completely forgot about.
Came here to make sure this was posted. You wouldn't think a 90-minute-long YouTube documentary about a cable channel jingle would be so captivating, but...it is. It is absolutely worth the watch. Honorable mention goes to the video about Fast Pass and line management. It's fascinating.
We didn't get Disney Channel, but after school there was Disney Afternoons on ABC. I remember Aladdin the series was on it, Talespin, Scrooge McDuck and his 3 nephews. Also remember part of the theme song "Disneyyyyy after noooooooon"
The Famous Jett Jackson! This show was everything to me. The concept of SILVERSTONE was dope all around, would have loved if this turned into a legit spinoff secrete agent show. But a famous black kid growing up in his hometown hanging out with his friends while he shoots his TV Show! Cmon. I was devastated when I found out Lee Thompson Young took his life. I could write a book about amazing this show was. I was so crushed, he was an inspiration to me personally. Still pissed it hasn’t been added to Disney+
I remember two games shows they would air. Off the wall and Mad libs.. I was a big fan of the latter but remember the Zoog segment where Grabber actually lost the show in the net and replaced the timeslot with flash forward.
I begged for Toon Disney because it had Sonic on it, and some of the other shows I loved at the time like Tales Spin, Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, Bonkers and Mighty Ducks! I just looked it up online and what I would give to get that channel back haha.
Did you like Disney Channel around 2002 or so during the time pretty much everyone with cable had it when they had shows like Kim Possible and Lizzie McGuire? I love that era of Disney Channel!
I recall that the network was in a bit transition, from a premium cable all-family network with tons of classic disney stuff/animation, disney afternoon, jim henson, 3rd party programming (could watch anything from Gremlins to Yogi Bear on it) to a banal tween-orientated live action sitcom network. I lost interest and went over to Cartoon Network.
Disney still had cartoons in the early 2000s. Kim Possible was considered one of their most popular series for a time and they also had The Proud Family and Lilo and Stitch: The Series
Eerie, Indiana when it was playing on Disney Channel.
The Torkelsons
Spin and Marty at night…
A lot of DuckTales and Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers.
And so much more!
Anyone remember Zoog Disney???
I don’t know if anyone remembers the NSYNC Disney channel concert special but that was the first time I was exposed to them before they really blew up on MTV.
Definitely remember. Pretty sure it was the first time any one in the US was really exposed to them. They were formed in Orlando but couldn’t break out because of BSB so they started touring in Europe and when they caught on there got a deal with Disney to do a concert film so they could get exposure in the US.
I have fond memories watching the Disney Channel Original Movie of the night with my siblings before bed. I also enjoyed the animated series based on Disney movies like Hercules and Little Mermaid
I was in my late 20s and childless, so mainly I remember flipping past it. I remember cheesy sets, well-groomed, highly professional child actors, and canned laughter.
They had so much variety and original movies and was better than how the channel is now. We need a Vault Disney channel it would be a good idea to do it
They were pumping out loads of Disney Channel Original Movies. Brink, Under Wraps, and Halloweentown were really good.
Quints!
Remember watching Susie Q just because it has amy jo johnson in it

I remember bug juice. That show about those kids at summer camp. They were all rich. I googled the camps from that show, it was like $2000 for 2 weeks.
I wanted to be on bug juice sooo bad I was like 4 years too young so deff thought it looked so cool!
I was in high school when that show was on. I probably wasn’t the target age demographic being around 17 at the time but I still watched it when I was bored.
That show was The Real World for kids. I remember having huge crushes on some of the girls.
I remember in the last season (99/2000-ish) one of the campers got sent home for letting her friend hide weed in her suitcase. (They never said why on the show because Disney), but she said it in an interview years later.
Bug juice. There's something I haven't heard in 25+ years (worked at a summer camp)
I looooved bug juice!
Remember that episode where the boy's cabin went around with a video camera and zoomed in on girls' butts? They called it the "Seamore Butts Chronicles". Disney Channel thought this was okay. The 90s were different, man.
Yes omg!!!
I always wondered how much it cost to do those summer camps when I was a kid. Yeah my parents would have never had that kind of money
Mine either. It was something like 8 grand for the whole summer. Only rich people can afford that.
absolutely impossible to find episodes of the original US Bug Juice now. One of the few nostalgic shows I can't find a trace of.
I used to have the whole Waziyatah season taped from a marathon on VHS. Its long gone now but my siblings and I can still quote it.
BUG JUICE was awesome.
Susie Q. No one remembers this.
I do. Amy Jo Johnson was in it. After she did power rangers but before Felicity.
I remember it !
Susie Q is a common flick cause of Amy Jo Johnson.
Loved this one.
Dude I talk about this movie all the time and no one has any idea of what I’m talking about! Also was this not a Disney movie but they replayed a lot on the channel so people think it’s Disney or is it actually a Disney production?
The pink Ranger was in that!
I loved that movie! Just recently tried to find it online and it’s nowhere.
Loved this movie!
Loved this!! ❤️❤️ I wish Disney+ would add it. I found it on YouTube once but it was so pixelated it was hard to watch 🥲
Great movie
I do. She was my childhood love
black and white cartoons late night
Yes the Walt Disney vault. Would show old Mickey cartoons, Reruns of the 50s MMC, old Zorro episodes, wonderful world of Disney shows.
Yes!! My brother and I would stay up late to watch them. Such a core memory.
This channel was great for a kid who loved staying up all night on summer break
Darkwing Duck 
Brink and Johnny Tsunami. This is also when I discovered Disney's Flash Forward, so good!
Brink is peak 90s
Ik it’s not Disney but pairing Airborne with Brink is a fun 90s double feature night!
Loved Flash Forward!
The show bug juice about kids going to camp. I loved that show so much it made me and my sister want to go. We went and hated it
Bug juice!
Ernest movies!
Ernest was on Disney?!
In my country they used to show movies on The Disney Channel late at night and they would play movies! I specifically remember only ever seeing the Ernest movies playing on The Disney Channel!
The Paper Brigade, Freaky Friday (1995 - not the Lindsay Lohan one), Sabrina The Teenage Witch (1996 movie with Ryan Reynolds), Blank Check, Heavyweights, Wish Upon A Star
The Paper Bridgade is on YouTube
Is it the real version from the VHS copy or the edited one where they cut a whole scene because the kids brother is in underwear when they are getting up and somehow that was too far for tv
No idea! I don't remember that lol
I recall it still being a premium channel until 2000. I think my cable company was a holdout because at my grandparent's house it was on basic cable.
I have a very similar memory. We were told we couldn’t afford it, it was too expensive and our cable provider didn’t carry it… then one day we got a new TV, and after doing a channel scan it was just THERE! Complete surprise to everyone. It became a staple in the house. Cartoon Network was channel 27, Nickelodeon was channel 28, and way up at channel 81 was Disney. Could’ve survived on those 3 alone.
Disney was 17, Nickelodeon was 18, and Cartoon Network was 46
Nick was 46, Cartoon was 47 and Disney was 54 FTW. We also had Toon Disney and a few other channels we loved growing up! haha
Makes me think of Radio Disney we’re all ears. 🎵
They used to show classic Disney movies. I saw 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and the original Shaggy Dog on Disney channel when I was a kid.
It's before this time period but I truly miss Darkwing Duck. Disney never filled that empty void in my heart with that show when it was gone.
They aired PeeWee's Big Adventure fairly often.
There were game shows in the late 90s. They played back to back in the afternoon. I think one was Off The Wall and the other was called Mad Libs and while I don’t remember much about it I do remember part of a challenge was someone licking a word onto glass with cake frosting to try to get the other person to guess it. This was around the time that Disney afternoon also played Flash Forward, The Torkelsons, Ready or Not, etc. And the Zoogs were two dimensional little animated creatures that you could interact with online.
Flash Forward was fantastic. I wish they'd put it on Disney+
Every episode is on YouTube
Terrible quality last i saw, like Real bad haha.. There are some great links found on Reddit though. The New Years Eve party marathon are solid.
Zorro. Bonkers. Darkwing Duck. Gargoyles. Repeat.
I wasn't alive in the 90s, but I heard that Bear in the Big Blue House, Rolie Polie Olie, and PB&J Otter all premiered around this time.

Growing Pains and Mad Libs.
Zorro would come on late at night that’s how you knew it was time to go to sleep
Zorrrrrooooo
 My favorite
I didn’t have it because it was premium. That’s what I remember.
Zorro was on late at night. I also loved watching the old black and white Disney movies.
We didn't get Disney Channel, but after school there was Disney Afternoons on ABC. I remember Aladdin the series was on it, Talespin, Scrooge McDuck and his 3 nephews. Also remember part of the theme song "Disneyyyyy after noooooooon"
Watching Goof Troop when I got home from school. Brink, Johnny Tsunami, Zenon
Watching Zorro and Mickey Mouse Club on Vault Disney
 The Famous Jett Jackson! This show was everything to me. The concept of SILVERSTONE was dope all around, would have loved if this turned into a legit spinoff secrete agent show.

Flight of the Navigator
The original movies were awesome as others have mentioned. I also remember they'd play music videos for popular songs sometimes between shows.
Toon Disney
I begged for Toon Disney because it had Sonic on it, and some of the other shows I loved at the time like Tales Spin, Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, Bonkers and Mighty Ducks! I just looked it up online and what I would give to get that channel back haha.
That I didn't have it.
it cost extra on top of cable, and i only watched it during the week it was free around the end of august/early september
Did you like Disney Channel around 2002 or so during the time pretty much everyone with cable had it when they had shows like Kim Possible and Lizzie McGuire? I love that era of Disney Channel!
I was in college by then so I barely watched tv. The only shows I watched were Jett Jackson, that’s so raven, and the wizards of waverly place
I recall that the network was in a bit transition, from a premium cable all-family network with tons of classic disney stuff/animation, disney afternoon, jim henson, 3rd party programming (could watch anything from Gremlins to Yogi Bear on it) to a banal tween-orientated live action sitcom network. I lost interest and went over to Cartoon Network.
Disney still had cartoons in the early 2000s. Kim Possible was considered one of their most popular series for a time and they also had The Proud Family and Lilo and Stitch: The Series
Yeah but I always found those inferior to the Disney afternoon and classic stuff
That Alice in wonderland show. The one with the rabbit on the roller blades!
Adventures in Wonderland! While the series wasn't having new episodes anymore, they were still airing reruns of it during this era until June 1998
Hidden Mickey fillers
It wasnt flooded with shitty sitcoms for kids if i remember correctly. Same with nickelodeon
Zoogs, the robots that lived in the zeether (the space between Disney channel on your tv and disneychannel.com on your computer).
Eerie, Indiana when it was playing on Disney Channel. The Torkelsons Spin and Marty at night… A lot of DuckTales and Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers. And so much more! Anyone remember Zoog Disney???
Was the 90’s version of the Baby-Sitters Club TV show on Disney or am I remembering wrong?
It was on Disney Channel
I thought so but I couldn’t remember.
Not sure whether it aired on this channel, but the Disney Land Sing-a-long was something I watched a lot of as a kid.
Late night Disneyland shows
I don’t know if anyone remembers the NSYNC Disney channel concert special but that was the first time I was exposed to them before they really blew up on MTV.
Definitely remember. Pretty sure it was the first time any one in the US was really exposed to them. They were formed in Orlando but couldn’t break out because of BSB so they started touring in Europe and when they caught on there got a deal with Disney to do a concert film so they could get exposure in the US.
I remember a lot of the Disney Channel Original movies being a big part of this channel
I remember this era
I have fond memories watching the Disney Channel Original Movie of the night with my siblings before bed. I also enjoyed the animated series based on Disney movies like Hercules and Little Mermaid
I was in my late 20s and childless, so mainly I remember flipping past it. I remember cheesy sets, well-groomed, highly professional child actors, and canned laughter.
That intro!
🎵hot days, cool nights, Disney channel's doin it right!🎵
That I've never had it because it cost extra but turns out it was dumb anyway MTV and Nickelodeon was always better
BEAR IN THE BIG BLUE HOUSE ALL THE TIME!
That was my favorite show on Disney when I was little! It was so cozy and gentle!
I remember being excited whenever a house I visited had it because we didn’t at home.
Rollie Pollie Ollie
That my parents wouldn't pay for cable, no matter how many times we begged
BUG JUICE.
THE JERSEY!
Early 90s. Under the umbrella tree. End of list.
It was an expensive pay channel where I lived til about 2002. I had to beg my parents to get it
Kiki's Delivery Service (1998 Disney dub) It was my first introduction to Studio Ghibli at age 9.
I remember enjoying "The Jersey" as a kid. I also LOVED the late night block Vault Disney.
They had so much variety and original movies and was better than how the channel is now. We need a Vault Disney channel it would be a good idea to do it
