DCOM and Drink

By Gloria Smith and Austin Helmers

Hello Friends! Welcome to DCOM and Drink! Here we take a deep dive into every single Disney Channel Original Movie (and have a few drinks along the way)! We are childhood friends, Gloria and Austin, who both have a love for all things Disney! Join us as we take a look at your favorite DCOMs such as "High School Musical" and "Halloweentown"! We will also be covering some of the lesser known DCOMs like "You Lucky Dog" and "Horse Sense". Let's celebrate (or cringe!) as we take on this fun, erratic journey! Who knows, you might even find a new DCOM you will fall in love with!
