Calling all 90's and early 2000's kids! If you miss the old Disney Channel, this quiz is for you. Let's face it, the Disney Channel now just isn't the same. No matter which way you spin it, shows like Dog With A Blog or Girl Meets World just can't keep up with TV shows of the mid to late 2000s. I know you're already thinking of Kim Possible, Hannah Montana, That's So Raven, Wizards of Waverly Place, and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Those were the days of comedy gold, pure idiocy, and relateable humor, and now we have to wait for the days Disney gives us marathons of their older shows.
Do you remember who dated who? Who was best friends with who? Where these shows happened, what the characters quirks were, who their family was, what they did for a living? After all, these shows have been off the air for a good few years now. But, if you're confident you're a real Disney fan, a real Kim Possible or Hannah Montana connoisseur, this quiz is for you.
What is the name of the hotel Zack and Cody live in?
Imagine having the life Zack and Cody had. I mean, yeah, having a twin can probably drive you crazy sometimes, but their lifestyle was definitely different than most kids'. Because their mother was a singer for events and dinners, Zack and Cody got to live in a suite in the hotel. An extended vacation, with access to the pool and game room and gym? Sounds pretty sweet! So sweet, in fact, that the show's name is a play on the words "sweet" and "suite". Clever!
Which twin has a crush on Maddie?
How old were Zack and Cody when the show started. Like, 10? Maybe 12? In any case, they weren't very old at all. On the other hand, the lovely Maddie Fitzpatrick was well into her teens. If you don't remember Maddie (AKA Sharpay in High School Musical), she was the smart, kind, and well-spoken teenager who worked at the Tipton candy counter. Zack and Cody spent a decent amount of time trying to get candy from her, and one specifically spent his time flirting with her.
What is Mr. Moseby's first name?
Oh, Mr. Moseby! The Suite Life of Zack and Cody wouldn't be half of the show it was without this character. This erratic, irritable, uptight and hilarious hotel manager whose absolute worst nightmare was a pair of crazy twins. Of course, living in a hotel can get a bit boring - there's no backyard, there's a lack of personal space, and none of your friends live there with you. Naturally, Zack and Cody got a little crazy, and Mr. Moseby definitely wasn't a fan of that.
What was the name of the cruise ship Zack and Cody moved to?
The biggest development in the show's history was definitely when Zack and Cody left The Tipton hotel in Boston for the adventure of a lifetime: living and going to school on a cruise ship. Mr. Tipton being ridiculously rich and extravagant, he bought a giant ship and put a school, a mall, a pool on it. You name it, it was on the boat. This change in scenery was pretty reflective of the twins aging - it was almost like graduating from one great thing to a greater one.
What business do the Russos own?
Every good TV show like Wizards of Waverly place needs a reliable, familiar set where it would make sense to shoot most scenes. For the Russo wizard family, this location was their family business - one that their father cares about tremendously. Like, no joke, the business is EVERYTHING. All three of the kids and both of their parents work shifts at the business to make sure it keeps running, and they live right above it. They live, breathe, eat the family business!
Who is older between Zack and Cody?
Any twin knows that this is the end all, be all issue to be settled between them and their sibling. Hell, even if you're not a twin, you know how important it is to the older twin that everyone - like, literally everyone - know that they were born a few minutes earlier. For some reason, in a kid's head, it makes a world of difference in terms of calling shots and having superiority. Zack and Cody are no exception!
What's the name of Alex's werewolf boyfriend?
Wizards of Waverly place was a pretty innocent, PG television show - as Disney usually is. For a while, explicit romance was limited, but once Alex Russo got old enough to be taking suitors, viewers were presented with one of the most iconic Disney couples ever. That's how the story of a wizard and a werewolf started, how they fell in love, dated, weathered the storm - because, obviously, a wizard and werewolf combination is a little sketchy. But dang, were they cute.
What's the name of Justin's best friend?
Ahhh, this character was...well, quite the character! Seriously, this guy was so extravagant and eccentric, had the weirdest ticks, but made for so much humor and comedic relief in the show. Justin and his best friend were opposites in many ways: one was highly logical, a strong student, while the other was a bit erratic and silly. Both, however, could come together over their love of comics and actions figures and other nerdy stuff. This guy even became Harper's boyfriend later on!
What's the name of the beagle the Russos have at one point?
Let me refresh your mind if you forgot about this episode. So Justin finds an adorable beagle and decides to bring it in, because it seems lost. Logical, right? So to do the right thing, the Russo kids put up signs to find the dog's owner, but the person who comes to claim the dog ends up being a fraud, and they go on a wild goose chase to get the dog back from this sketchy wizard man. Eventually, they get emotionally attached and decide to keep the dog...but what was his name?
Who ends up becoming the family wizard?
There are lots of magical worlds portrayed in television, and all of them are constructed differently. The one downside to the world of Wizards of Waverly place is that every generation of wizarding families ends up with one family wizard. That's right - when all of the children are of age, they take part in a competition to test their skills and determine who will keep their powers forever. Those who lose, unfortunately, lose all their powers and become mere mortals.
Who is this?
Let's start easy, with one of Disney's most iconic and timeless animated series. Call her, beep her, if you wanna reach her... it's Kim Possible! Most 90's and 2000's kids grew up watching this bad ass girl and her best friend fight crime and pull of some of the coolest stunts. Not only was Kim Possible a devout student and cheerleader, she was nothing short of a superhero and a role model for kids. She rarely went anywhere without her best friend and sidekick.
Where does Kim Possible go to school?
When she's not taking calls through a computer in her locker, running off to fight some super villain, or flipping her way through the city, Kim Possible is just your "basic average girl". Well, at least, that's what she says. Kim and her best friend Ron otherwise attend high school, go to class, and yes, deal with their fair share of bullies. It's actually a wonder that Kim Possible isn't homeschooled, because she's out of school and ditching class so much.
What is the name of Kim Possible's biggest enemy?
Although Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable deal with a variety of villains, all of whom are aiming for world domination, there was one particular and very crazy man that Kim usually ended up fighting. This guy is undoubtedly Kim and Ron's arch-nemesis, and is aided by his super-powered sidekick, Shego. This guy is a relatively smart scientist, but has serious insecurities and actually dropped out of college because some of his friends, including Kim's dad, teased and made fun of him.
What kind of animal does Ron have as a pet?
Every good animated Disney show or movie needs its staple animal. A pet that's cute, quirky, out of the ordinary, and provides some of the best moments of humor or weirdness. For Kim Possible, that's Rufus. He's a little rodent that's literally always either in Ron's pocket or on his shoulder, and loves eating tacos and nachos at Bueno Nacho. Ron and Rufus are quite the pair, and there aren't many missions that Rufus has missed...but what exactly is Rufus?
What are the names of Kim's brothers?
Kim Possible comes from quite the family, and although her name is a pun on the word "impossible", this family proves that nothing is impossible for them. Never has a family name been more fitting for a family. Kim's father, James, is a rocket scientist. Her mother, Ann, is a brain surgeon. Clearly, both of her parents being bright was passed on to Kim and her younger twin brothers, who are basically geniuses. The Possibles are a family of prodigies!
What's Raven's last name?
Another classic Disney show that most of us grew up on is "That's So Raven" starring Raven Symone. This show ending broke quite a few hearts, but thankfully, it just got a new spin off that's just hit Disney! "That's So Raven" centered on a regular teenage girl and her friends, except Raven wasn't so normal. She was psychic, and had visions that let her see into the future. Only issue was, she'd try to fix the future, and that never ends well.
Who are Raven's best friends?
Raven goes to high school like any other teenage girl, and like any other teenage girl, she has her friend group. Her two friends are like family to her, and they almost never did anything without each other and know about Raven's visions. Her male friend was aiming to become a rapper and plays on the school basketball team. Her female friend is an animal and environmental activist, is vegetarian, and is usually a little clueless and lost. Either way, both of these characters make the show so much better!
Where is That's So Raven set?
Many Disney shows and movies are set in fictional towns and high schools, but "That's So Raven" is one of the exceptions. Although the show was actually filmed on a set in a lot somewhere in Hollywood, the names of the schools and locations in the show, as well as the shots of Raven's house, make it clear where it's actually taking place. Just like Raven and her quirks, the city she lives in is charming, special, and definitely unique.
What's Raven's catchphrase?
Raven is a funny, sassy young lady who has a bad habit of trying to meddle with the future every time she has a vision. She can't help it, because she wants to help, but most of the time, it gets her into trouble. Every time she thinks she can change the future, she ends up doing something that leads her to exactly what she saw in her vision. As a result, she reacts with one of her catchphrases, one of which is more popular than the others...
What is Raven's passion?
Raven is more than a daughter, sister, best friend and psychic. On top of going to school and trying to save the people around her, Raven has an artistic passion that she routinely expresses throughout the length of the series. She's proudly creative, innovative, and in with the times. As we later find out in the "That's So Raven" spinoff, "Cory in the House", Raven even goes to school to fine tune her skills and become a true artist in her field.
Where does Lilly find out that Miley is Hannah Montana?
Hannah Montana didn't start with much of an origin story, because in the pilot, Miley was already Hannah. Only her family knew about her double identity - normal teenager by day, and pop star by night. Neither her best friends Oliver or Lilly knew about the fact that she had a second life. In the pilot, Lilly shows up to Miley's house with two Hannah Montana tickets, and you can imagine how that was going to play out - not well.
What is Rico's catchphrase?
Rico is quite the character, and made for a lot of the show's humor. Need a plot twist? Rico's got you covered. Same goes for hot dogs and nachos. This little man, who runs a surf shop on the beach, is way too smart for his own good. He's difficult to love, manipulative, detached, and arrogant, but watching his and Jackson's relationship flourish was well worth all of that. Other than his diabolical laugh, Rico has a typical catchphrase, making him easy to recognize.
What were Lily and Oliver's pet names for each other?
Yeah, this was a character development from both Lily and Oliver that no one expected but everyone expected. In season 3, Miley's best friends got together and started dating. They were sickeningly cutesy with each other, holding hands and giving each other eskimo kisses and calling each other weird pet names. Their relationship was threatened by thoughts that Oliver actually told Miley he loved her and not Lilly, but turns out that Oliver was just practicing to tell Lilly he loved her.
What kind of a house did the Stewarts move to at the end of the series?
We all loved the Stewarts' house on the beach in Malibu, California. It gave viewers a sense of familiarity, it was a home within the screen. From the fights that happened in the kitchen, to the times Lilly would skate board into the living room, to the insane moments in Miley's Hannah Montana closet, the Stewart family home carried tons of meaning in the show. But a change of scenery was necessary to keep the show changing, so the family moved homes.
What did Hannah's wig look like in the last season of the show?
Kind of like the change in sets, Miley had to change her Hannah Montana wig every once in a while to stay trendy, relevant, and interesting. Of course, nothing major changed about the wig - it was always blonde with bangs, in keeping with Hannah's signature style. She couldn't very well dye her hair brown, otherwise people would immediately recognize her as Miley. Actually, is anyone going to talk about the fact that the wig did not make Miley unrecognizable?!
