When I was on my recent Halloween-ish Christmas-e WDW trip we had the Disney Channel on the television, I mean if you're staying at a Walt Disney World resort you just have to check out the Disney channels because it suddenly becomes entertaining. Since it was Halloween they were promoting their newest TV series, The Wizards of Waverly Place. They promoted it nearly every hour.

I actually didn't get a chance to see the show while on vacation but just saw the promos. BUT sometime this week they had a mini marathon of the series and I Tivo'd it. I love it. The show's star, Selena Gomez, is brillant casting and she sings the very catchy theme song "Everything is Not What it Seems". This young actress is going to be a star, no doubt about that. She IS the reason why I'm watching. But then again there's another reason.

Her adorable wizard brother, played by David Henrie [now 18 years old and perfectly fine to be featured here on a gay blog filled with Disney Princes] is quite the looker on the show. He plays Selena's 16 year old brother and deals with learning magic as a teenager as well as tackling social problems such as having his first heterosexual kiss. Yuck.

Now the reason I'm writing about this show and this episode featured above is because it was the first episode I saw of the show AND the opening situation reminded me of my high school days... same awkward locker situation, a jock asking for my help, keeping it secret that he wanted to learn stuff from me... I don't know, it's just funny how some shows suddenly remind you of your own past experiences. I guess I connected with the show and now assume there are gay writers on staff because this is just a gay fantasy that every gay high school student has had nearly every day of the school year.

Anyway, the series is addicting and fun to watch. Tivo it and enjoy it. Once again Selena Gomez is going to be a star, hopefully leaving the Disney Channel behind soon and moving into Romantic Comedies on the silver screen.
