Disney Channel April 2012 Highlights

April’s usually a fairly light month but there’s a good deal of new stuff happening this month. Although, I must say, I do miss not having Good Luck Charlie on the schegule. Such a long break isn’t good for any show – I don’t know what they’re thinking.

This was an interesting episode… sorry about not ging y’all a heads up on this one.
