Lalaine Reunited with Disney "You Wish!" Co-Star A.J. Trauth and I'm Shook
If you didn't grow up watching Disney Channel, then what on Earth were you doing? Not only did the network have the most ah-mazing shows like Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, but they also created movies like Halloweentown and High School Musical. (FYI, you can now rewatch all your faves on Disney Plus, including underrated gems like Phil of the Future and The Thirteenth Year!)
And the best part about watching those cult classics over and over again is that even as the stars grow older and move onto other projects, you still get to indulge in that Disney Channel nostalgia. That being said, when these actors and actresses reunite in REAL LIFE, the throwback vibes are taken to the next level. Here are some of the most iconic reunions of all time.
December 2019
Lalaine and A.J. Trauth
Abby and Alex from the DCOM You Wish!, a movie about a kid who wishes his brother never existed and accidentally makes it come true, reunited thanks to fellow Disney Channel alum (and A.J.'s Even Stevens co-star), Christy Carlson Romano.
Both Lalaine and A.J. filmed episodes for Christy's hit weekly YouTube series, Christy's Kitchen Throwback, where she reunites with Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and other '90s/'00s legends, and they make tasty treats together.

The characters Dylan and Luke, who appeared in the first two Halloweentown movies together, with Dylan going on to also be in the third and fourth films, reunited in St. Helens, Oregon as part of the Spirit of Halloweentown festival.

Robert Carradine and Jake Thomas
The father and son duo from Lizzie McGuire — Sam and Matt McGuire, respectively — looked like a real-life father and son when they reunited outside a McDonald's on May 14. Seriously, someone give the show's casting director a delayed raise, because Jake totally looks like Robert's mini-me.
"REUNION TIME. Caught up with TV pops," Jake captioned on Instagram, later joking, "This post brought to you by @mcdonalds, obviously."

David Henrie and Jake T. Austin
The Wizards of Waverly Place brothers reunited on March 13 in West Hollywood at the Indochino Los Angeles Spring/Summer '19 Launch Party at SkyBar at the Mondrian Los Angeles.
"So... after years of searching when he abandoned the sub shop accusing us all of thinking he was nothing but a total idiot I found Max! Turns out he wasn’t that stupid at all, he’s a full time trial lawyer part time male model and avid rock climber now. Crazy. Missed u bro. Love u. Catch me at wiz-tech soon," David joked on Instagram, sharing a pic of the TV brothers.
Jake also shared a pic on Instagram of the ~magical~ duo, writing, "Dapper with this dude."
Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and so many more!
Miley Cyrus celebrated International Women's Day in the best way possible, by posting some iconic throwbacks featuring her with pretty much all of your fave female celebrities including former Disney stars, singers, and actresses. Seriously, these need to be put in a time capsule so, years from now, humans will truly know what the 2000s were all about.
Miley's archive dive included some pics with fellow former Disney star, Demi Lovato. "We define a f*cking era," Miley captioned a pic which featured the two rocking some epic pink sunglasses. "Sorry not sorry."
Her other pic with Demi also featured Selena and some incredible blue fringed boots, which Miley said are "very rare."
Taylor also joined the party in a pic where the four stars seems to be having the time of their lives. "98.8% genuine," Miley wrote.
She had a similar sentiment in a pic with Taylor, Demi, and her Hannah Montana costar, Emily Osment. "This is not an edit," Miley captioned the pic. "I repeat! This. Is. Not. An. Edit."
And if you think Miley was done with the throwbacks, you're wrong. She's been famous since she was a baby, this girl has over two decades of incredible content. Miley proved that with this amazing photo with Ashley Tisdale.
Ashley wasn't the only High School Musical star to be included in the roundup. Miley also shared an adorable pic of Hannah Montana and Vanessa Hudgens.
Even Mrs. Bieber got a pic, and OMG, this might be the best one.
Of course, Miley's former costar Emily needed her own mini tribute, so she got two selfies of her own. And yes, she is rocking Lola's blue hair.
Ok, can we PLEASE see Miley's camera roll? Because if this is any indication, she is hiding some gems in her phone and we need to see more ASAP!
February 2019
Anneliese van der Pol, Rondell Sheridan, and Rose Abdoo

Does this mean we'll get a chance to see them in Raven's Home? Guess we'll just have to wait and see when the show comes back later this year for its third season.

Hope all you HM fans know after all these years we still come back to each other and talk about how much fun we had growing up together in front of the world during the most awkward stage of life and we couldn’t have done it without all of you tuning in. Thank you for sticking with us. We love you."
