I see that everyone is asking the same question….. when are the DC 2009 games? Does anyone have the answer ????
@fernanda – I believe they always tape the games in the spring – March, April or May – and then televise them on the Disney Channel in July or August.
As soon as I get an info about the games I will post it here at Disney Society. And, if any of you hear something before me, shoot me an email!
Thank you so much Julie for the response. Please keep us all posted on the dates so we can plan around them.
Thanks again !!!! I know how’s gonna be really happy…. my daughter !!!

Almost everyone knows they are filmed in April~ it is just a matter of when & exactly where! Do you have a reliable resource to give you exact dates & locations????
You are welcome fernanda!
Carol – Nope, no reliable source yet giving me specific dates. I’ll look into though.
I’d like to know the dates and location too =) I don’t know were took place the Disney Channel Games 2007 and 2008, but if it was at the same location, it probably will be the same for 2009.
(Forgive me for my bad english but I’m french ^^)
The Disney Channel Games are always held at Disneys Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando,Florida. I go every year and it’s always at the end of April through the beginning of May. The games last a whole business week and then the concert is always on saturday.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that last year there were certain days that the public could go to because it’s hard for them to film with screaming fans in the background. Im sure this year will be the same.
Hi Kaitlyn

I need to confirm actaual dates so we book our vacation accordingly.We need to book one soon before my husband takes charge and picks a new location!! Don’t want that!! Any further information you have will be greatly appreciated.

Kaitlyn:
Thanks sooooo much for the info, finally someone is on the ball….. it’s amazing how all these teen sensations can drive a mom crazy trying to get their kids to see them.
Thank you so much again & Happy Thanksgiving !!
Hello Ladies:
I emailed Wide World of Sports directly to see if they had the date for the DCG for 2009, they just responded saying that the dates are not available yet and to check on disneychannel.com for updates. Guess we’ll have to find out some other way ’cause they’re not telling !!!
The Disney Channel Games filming has taken place the last week of April. The 2008 Disney Channel Games were filmed at Disney’s Wide World of Sports® at the Walt Disney World Resort® from April 28 – May 03, 2008. Therefore, would anticipate they will be filmed in 2009 from April 27 – May 02, 2009.
the DC games 2008 were AMAZINGGG. i met so many people.
does anyone know whether the stars are going to stay at the AKL again? if not, do you think they will?
I was wondering if you could email me the dates of the 2009 disney channel games.
