If we could see into the future, we never could have predicted this. In case you missed it: Ethan Craft was trending on Twitter earlier this week, and Hilary Duff was joining in on the Lizzie McGuire viewing party. For a moment, we could’ve sworn it was 2002 again.Â
Whether you were rooting for Lizzie and Gordo the whole time, wishing you possessed psychic powers, or relating to Ren Stevens on a spiritual level with her pesky little brother, we can all agree Disney Channel was the place to be in the 2000s.
And it’s the place to be once more. ABC Family is saying bye-bye to 2014 with a “That’s So Throwback” end-of-the-year event! Every night this week, you can catch some of your favorite shows at midnight. It’s time to party like the early 2000s. Check out the complete schedule below! Lizzie McGuire, That’s So Raven and Even Stevens have already aired over the past few days—and The Cheetah Girls is involved in our near future, so you just might want to take a look.
January 1st – The Cheetah Girls (12AM – 2AM ET/PT)January 2nd – Halloweentown (12AM – 2AM ET/PT)
As the year ends, we decided there’s no better way to end it with some good ol’ nostalgia. In honor of this glorious event, we’ve rounded up our favorite Disney Channel stars, then vs. now. (As if you didn’t feel old enough.)
Hilary Duff (“Lizzie McGuire”)
Looking at pictures of Hilary now, it’s pretty hard to believe that nearly ten years have gone by. Fab as ever, Hilary has been back in the studio writing music for her new album while raising her adorable son Luca. You can also still catch her on new TV Land series Younger.
Raven SymonĂ© (“That’s So Raven”)
Recently, Raven made an appearance on Oprah’s Where Are They Now? sporting a colorful bob. The starlet has managed to stay somewhat below the radar and enrolled in college last year at the Academy of Art University. Raven is still as inspirational as ever!Â
Shia Labeouf (“Even Stevens”)
Shia went on to do pretty big things after Even Stevens such as starring in the Transformers movies, and even became somewhat of a heartthrob in recent years—though he seems to have gotten himself in a little trouble lately. Yikes! We hope things get better soon.
