==Disney Channel Games 2007==

The second annual ''Disney Channel Games'' ended in August 2007. Hosted at [[Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex]] at [[Walt Disney World Resort|Walt Disney World]] in [[Lake Buena Vista, Florida|Lake Buena Vista]], [[Florida]], stars from international Disney Channels joined the teams, making room for the new Yellow Team. In addition, each team played for a charity (including [[Boys & Girls Clubs of America|Boys & Girls Club]], [[United Nations Children's Fund|UNICEF]], [[Make-a-Wish Foundation]] and [[Starlight Children's Foundation|Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation]]). Disney promoted these games as environmentally friendly.

Contestants from the first games who did not return for the second include [[Zac Efron]], [[Vanessa Hudgens]], [[Kay Panabaker]], and [[Anneliese van der Pol]]. [[Vanessa Hudgens]] and [[Zac Efron]] were not available for the event. Several new additions from new [[Disney Channel Original Series]], [[Disney Channel Original Movies]], and across the globe joined the teams, including [[Maiara Walsh]] and [[Jason Dolley]] of ''[[Cory in the House]]''. Each team member did not receive a nickname, although [[Brenda Song]] remained a captain and [[Dylan and Cole Sprouse|Dylan Sprouse]], [[Kyle Massey]], and [[Corbin Bleu]] took over for the other teams. [[Phill Lewis]] and [[Brian Stepanek]] returned as hosts while ''[[Cory in the House]]'''s [[Madison Pettis]] served as a guest judge on one occasion. Several voice actors of animated characters are also seen in the audience of the games. They include [[Nancy Cartwright (actress)|Nancy Cartwright]] and [[Grey DeLisle]] ([[The Replacements (TV series)|Todd and Riley]]), [[Dante Basco]] ([[Jake Long (American Dragon: Jake Long)|Jake Long]]), [[John DiMaggio]] ([[Fu Dog (American Dragon: Jake Long)|Fu Dog]] and [[Doctor Drakken|Dr. Drakken]]), [[Christy Carlson Romano]] ([[Kim Possible (character)|Kim Possible]]) and cheerleaders, and [[J.P. Manoux]] ([[Kuzco]]), among several others.

The winning team was the Green Team and a donation of $25,000 was made to The Boys and Girls Club Of America. The other three teams were also awarded with $25,000, resulting in all teams donating equal amounts of money to their charity.

==Disney Channel Games 2008==
[[Image:DCGames.png|199px|thumb|right|The DCG logo for the 2008 games]]

The [[2008 Disney Channel Games]] took place in the summer of 2008. The games were held July 27 through August 30, 2008. The ''Disney Channel Games'' had two extra hosts [[Cody Linley]] and [[Meaghan Jette Martin]]. Unlike the previous two games, the 2008 edition of the games only featured 5 events and online hosts. [[Dylan and Cole Sprouse]] missed the first episode as they "missed" the bus.

For this edition, thirty-seven Disney Channel stars from around the world convened at [[Walt Disney World]] in [[Orlando, Florida]] for "Disney Channel Games," featuring [[relay races]], [[obstacle course]]s and other events in five special half-hour telecasts, "Disney Channel Games," were presented each week beginning Sunday, July 27 (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) on Disney Channel and was hosted by [[Brian Stepanek]] (''[[The Suite Life of Zack & Cody]]''). [[Phill Lewis]] did not host the games in 2008. The special telecasts closed with a post-Games concert featuring performances by [[Miley Cyrus]], the [[Jonas Brothers]], [[The Cheetah Girls (band)|The Cheetah Girls]], [[Demi Lovato]] and [[Jordan Pruitt]].

The event was filmed at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and benefited four children's charities: [[Make-A-Wish Foundation]], [[Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation]], [[UNICEF]] and [[Boys & Girls Clubs of America]].

Each of the five subsequent "Disney Channel Games" 2008 special telecasts were presented Saturdays (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) through August 30. The 27 Disney Channels worldwide aired the five special telecasts thereafter with local Disney Channel stars hosting their country's telecast. The "Inside Track," exclusively on www.disneychannelgames.com, hosted by [[Meaghan Jette Martin]] (''[[Camp Rock]]'') and [[Cody Linley]] (''[[Hannah Montana]]''), went behind the scenes of the ''Disney Channel Games'' 2008. DisneyChannel.com users could vote for their favorite players and dive into the action via online versions of the ''Disney Channel Games'' seen each week.

In the end, with the announcement made by [[Miley Cyrus]] during the final closing ceremony, it was Team Inferno that won the Disney Channel Games Cup.

==End of event==
A Disney spokesperson confirmed on February 4, 2009 that the Disney Channel Games would not be held in that year due to lack of actor availability due to program filming, concert tours, time off and other reasons. Instead the network has instead devoted charity efforts under the ''[[Disney's Friends for Change]]'' initiative. Likewise, an edition in 2010 was unplanned.<ref>http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2011/02/disney-channel-no-disney-channel-games-this-year.html</ref>

Disney Channel Games are a Battle of the Network Stars-based annual television series that aired on the Disney Channel during the summer from 2006 to 2008.[1][2][3] Phill Lewis was the co-host of the 2006 and 2007 editions and Brian Stepanek hosted all three of them. The show had various stars from Disney Channel and its international iterations competing for charity as team-based contestants. The Games were filmed at Disney's Wide World of Sports in Orlando.[4]

Disney Channel Games were not aired after 2008, but a similar series called Disney's Friends for Change Games aired in 2011.

The Disney Channel Games began as a series of shorts[citation needed] that aired during summer 2006. A second edition followed in summer 2007, with the final edition of the series airing in summer 2008.

A Disney spokesperson confirmed in February 2009 that the Disney Channel Games would not be held that year due to actor availability and Disney's "focusing on the launch of a new pro-social initiative with Disney Channel and Disney XD stars".[5][6] The result was Disney's Friends for Change initiative.[7] The series also did not air in 2010.[8]

Disney's Friends for Change Games

[edit]
Disney's Friends for Change Games logo

Disney's Friends for Change Games aired on the Disney Channel as part of Disney's Friends for Change initiative. It replaced the Disney Channel Games. The series was hosted by Jason Earles and Tiffany Thornton,[9] and again featured various Disney Channel stars as team-based contestants competing for their chosen charity. Disney's Friends for Change Games premiered on June 24, 2011, and aired five episodes through July 31, 2011, plus a recap special.

The first event was viewed by between 3.4 million and 4.9 million viewers.[10] The finale special was viewed by 3.6 million viewers, with Kids 6–11 (1.9 million/7.7 rating) and Tweens 9–14 (1.6 million/6.4 rating) making up a sizable portion of the total.[11] The entire series was viewed by over 37 million unique viewers.[11]
