Disney Channel Games 2007
The Second Annual Disney Channel Games are over as of 25th August 2007. As advertised, these have proven to be the biggest of them all. Hosted at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, stars from other nations' Disney Channels have joined the teams, making room for the new Yellow Team. In addition, each team is playing for a charity (including Boys & Girls Club, UNICEF, Make-a-Wish Foundation and Starlight Starbright Childrens Foundation. Disney also revealed the games becoming environmentally friendly.
Contestants from the first edition who did not return for the second include Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Kay Panabaker, and Anneliese van der Pol. At the time, Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron were on vacation in Hawaii.[citation needed] Several new additions from new Disney Channel Original Series, Disney Channel Original Movies, and across the globe have 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, 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 animated characters are also seen in the audience of the games. They include Nancy Cartwright and Grey DeLisle (Todd and Riley), Dante Basco (Jake Long), John DiMaggio (Fu Dog and Dr. Drakken), Christy Carlson Romano (Kim Possible) and cheerleaders, and J.P. Manoux (Kuzco), among several others.
The Winning Team was the "Green Team", and they won the competition and donated the $25,000 to the The Boys and Girls Club Of America. However, in a final, anticlimatic twist, Disney gave each team $25,000 too, resulting in all teams donating equal money for their charity.
