5 Things You'll Love This Disney Channel Summer

Disney Channel Summer is about only one week away from launching and we are so excited. Even though the fun promo hasn't released, we have knowledge of what we'll see. You can except these things this summer is Disney Channel and Disney XD:1. Teen Beach 2:The music-filled sequel to the Disney Channel's breakout telefilm hit Teen Beach Movie — which ranks as the second highest-rated cable television movie of all time — finds Maia Mitchell (The Fosters) and Ross Lynch (Austin & Ally) reprising their roles as surfer sweethearts. Only this time, instead of being transported into a 1960s beach party movie, the duo get a visit from new film friends when they make a real-world visit in the modern day.


2. Best Friends Whenever:Disney Channel's new live-action comedy follows best friends Shelby and Cyd, who when their aspiring scientist friend Barry's invention goes awry, gain the power to leap forward and backward in time whenever they want — and sometimes when they don't. Now they experience the twists and turns of friendship and must decide between fixing mistakes in the past or catching a glimpse of the future. 

3. Gamer's Guide To High School:Disney XD's live-action comedy series stars Jessie's Cameron Boyce as a teenage professional video game player who circumvents life's challenges using his gaming acumen. Boyce also co-stars in Disney's upcoming Descendants movie. (See No. 4 below.)
4. Descendants:Disney Channel's original movie — a music-driven, contemporary live-action adventure-comedy —introduces Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay, the teenage progeny of Disney's villains Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil and Jafar, respectively. Descendants is set in a present-day idyllic kingdom, with the benevolent teenage son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast) poised to take the throne. His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to the troublemaking offspring, who have been imprisoned on a forbidden island. Kenny Ortega,who directed and choreographed Disney's High School Musical, also directs, choreographs and executive produces Descendants.
