Sometimes canon is just not enough. Don’t get me wrong, I love the shows that made the Family Channel (the Canadian 🔯version of the Disney Channel) what it was. I mean, these shows practically raised me and I owe them a lot. I grew up with these characters and they grew with me. My love for these shows has grown so much over the years and it is truly saddening that these characters are locked into time. They will forever remain at the age when their show ended while I continue to grow, age, and experience new things that these characters will never know. And there is both beauty and sadness in that. But fanfiction, theories, and all things like that exist to expand the world of each and every one of these shows that shaped us.

But some of these theories veer into bizarre territory as they often atteওmpt to explain aspects of the series that most of the time, do not need further explanation. And while I supಌport every fan's right to create whatever they please, I do want to address some of the more far-fetched fan theories. Some of them are true and some of them… not so much.

From mental illness and alternate dimensions to time travel loops and government conspiracies, I will do my best to address these theories that have sprouted up on the internet over the years. So, withoutᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ further ado here are thirty Disney Channel fan theories; debunked and confirmed.

30 ♐ True: Was Hannah Montana All A Dream?

It turns out that, yes, the original ending to the beloved show Hannah Montana was intended to be completely different than the one that eventually aired. Originally, the ending was supposed to feature a 10-year-old Miley Cyrus (not Miley Stewart) and reveal that everything (even the show itself) was nothing more than the playtime fantasies of a small girl entertaining herself in her bedroom before bedtime. Now, that is one elaborate daydream. Luckily, it bombed with test audiences and was cut from t𝐆he show.

29 Fake: Is There Something Mor🤪e To Suite Life? ꦅ

No, The Suite Life is not brimming with Illuminati messages or references to other dark secret societies. Yes, the ඣword does appear on a blackboard in one episode, but breaking ꧙down each and every episode and outlining every triangle with a red marker is honestly, a waste of time.

It’s a kids show about a mother and her twin sons.

There is no need to make it into something that it i🍌s not. Let’s stop with the hidden Illuminati theories. Please.

28 True: Did Topanga Ma𒀰ke It To Law School? 🦋

Though not a Disney show, it was included in the Canadian version of the channel so I made the decision to include it in this list. Before Girl Meets World, fans of the original show wanted nothing more than to know if Topanga eventually made it ไto law school in the end. Luckily, the spin-off show confirmed that she not only went🐲 to law school but she also became one of the top lawyers in New York. Topanga deserves every happy ever after she craves.

27 𝔉 Fake: Were Hannah'❀s Friends Hired?

No, Lily and Oliver are not actors that Robbie Ray hired to pretend to be Miley’s friends in order for her to achieve her goal of living a normal life. They are just children that she met through shared classes and became friends with. No one knew she was Hannah until she told them. It happens. Someone once told Emma Watson that she looks like the girl from Harry Potter. Dolly Parton lost a look-a-lik🌳e contest. No one recognized Zooey Deschanel without bangs. People are dumb. Her secret was safe.

26 ꦬTrue: Did London Get Held Back?

In early seasons of The Suite Life, London’s constant absences cause her to be kicked out of school. Forcing he🅰r to join Maddie at the nun-run academy, where they share several classes as they are in the same grade. However, in the spin-off, London, Zack, and Cody find themselves in the same class.

One could explain that fact away by saying that there was only one classroom for all ages on the ship.

But that doesn’t explain why London is graduating 3 y✱ears later than Maddie did. Clearly, London’s constant skipping caused her to be held back several times.

25 Fake: Did Mag𓆉ic Make Alex A Worse Person?

No, the magic in the Wizards of Waverly Place world does not corrupt their minds and result in abnormal or atypical behavior and personality traits. It’s fine. Magic does not work that way💮. Alex is a lazy, selfisꦓh narcissist for no reason other than that being how she is. There is no magical excuse for her behavior. That simply is who she is. Stop looking for things to blame her sucky tendencies on. Some people are just jerks. Simple as that.

24 True: Is She Basically James Bond🐭?

If you were ever watching the hit animated spy show Kim Possible and couldn’t help but to notice similarities between it and James Bond films, you would not be alone. It turns out that the show was ꦕcreated as a tribute to both classic spy film𝄹s and girl power. No girls had been placed at the front and center like Kim before the show premiered and the show often plays on the gender stereotypes which dominated those old films (.e.g. Ron Stoppable being a male version of the classic, blonde, ditzy sidekick).

23 Fake: Di🌠d Bridget End Up On Big Bang Theory?

There is a theory which states that Bridget Hennessy from 8 Simple Rules (which aired on the Family Channel, so it counts) chan♊ged her name, moved to Pasadena, became a waitress at the Cheesecake Factory after failing at her dream of becoming an actress, and moved into an apartment across the hall from two lovable (yet irritating at times) scientists. Though I love this theory, there are just some things that do🍎 not add up. For starters, Bridget is from Michigan while Penny is from Omaha. Funnily enough, the same actress does play her mother on both shows.

22 True: Was It More Tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhan A Playground?

Not only was Recess created to be a microcosmic reflection of our grown-up society, but it also did so through several homages and parodies. The playground had its own rules and was supposed to reflect the rules and lessons that society, at large, was struggling with. Some issues tackled include economic monopolies, capitalistic charity, the ways in which cults can be formed through unquestioned ignorance, the psychological damage that solitary confinement ha♎s on people, and the corrupting nature of power.

21 F꧋ake: Was Hannah Montana A Government Experiment💖?

Even though it is a little odd that every single person (save for a select few villains) is absolutely in love with Hannah Montana, that does not m🎃ean that the show is actually a government experiment which was held in order to study the lengths at which the public can🌺 be deceived by a false identity.

It is simply a show about a girl who wanted to rock the big stage while also being able to catch a movie with friends without drawing a crowd.

The reason why everyone loves Hannah is not that of💫 a sinister government🦂 implant but rather the fact that her songs are incredibly catchy.
