Its important to remember that paper letters are the key to our efforts, and events are spaced out so you have at least a week to prepare as many as you can. Please refer to our how to help section for addresses and more information.
Then on the day of the event, you can also send faxes, make phone calls, and use our email program at SDSmail.org
Save I’m in the Band
Wow! Our first Save Im in the Band Day got our movement off to a great start. We lit up twitter and sent over a thousand emails to Disney! Of course, we still have a lot of work to do.
As mentioned above, our second Save Im in the Band Day will be this Friday May 6th 2011. You should use the next few days to help us get the word out to more fans. And please be sure to send paper letters as well! Depending on where you live, you should start sending them in today.
And don’t forget about the Save Im in the Band email program to make it easier for you to email Disney. Please customize the included template letter as its only intended as a guide if youre unsure of what to say.
May Disney Channel Highlights
The May Disney schedule looks quite bizarre There are no new episodes for anything scheduled for the second half of the month. Are they just not ready to announce their plans that far in advance? If not, is there any particular reason? At SDS we’re puzzled, but we will find out in time.
This month will include the final episode of The Suite Life on Deck and the first episode of Disney’s new series ANT Farm.

Disney’s new man at ABC Family
Disney’s new plan for ABC Family channel includes a new president for the network, Michael G. Riley. In this new article and interview, he discusses the changes at the channel and their plans gong forward.
Mr. Riley was deeply involved with the casting and scheduling of the new shows and will start wooing advertisers this week in New York. In addition to "The Nine Lives of Chloe King," the new dramas Mr. Riley will be promoting this week include "Switched at Birth," the story of two teenage girls who were mixed up as newborns. "The Lying Game," meantime, is a mystery about twin sisters.
The goal for "The Great State of Georgia," in which Raven-Symon stars as an aspiring actress with a larger-than-life personality, is to create a comedy block on Wednesday nights. It will be paired with "Melissa & Joey," a successful returning series starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence.

Is Hellcats in trouble?

A lot of our readers no doubt remember Aly Michalka from Phil of the Future and Ashley Tisdale from The Suite Life and High School Musical. And of course, they have a new series together on the CW network called Hellcats. Unfortunately, the ratings have been dropping at a rather alarming rate and some of us are worried the show won’t be renewed. It’s not a Disney show, but given it’s Disney connections, I’m assuming many of you may be interested. What do you think? Drop us a like at webmasters@savedisneyshows.org or find us on twitter or facebook.
Sharpays Fabulous Adventure DVD Signing
SDS Webmaster Greg, after many years of trying, finally met High School Musical actress Ashley Tisdale two weeks ago in LA at a DVD signing for her new movie Sharpays Fabulous Adventure. Unfortunately, this was before we realized that Hellcats might be in trouble (as mentioned above) so he didn’t mention anything about it. Oops! Be sure to check out her new movie, though.

Webmaster Greg also attended Debby Ryan’s Meet and Greet in Long Beach CA on May 1st 2011. He briefly spoke with Debby and wished her luck with her new show. Perhaps more importantly, we also had the chance to speak with her mom and to let her know about both Greg’s Debby fansite Debby-Ryan.com and Save Disney Shows, should her new series Jessie ever need any help.
