===Bumpers===
In between regularly scheduled programming and advertisement breaks, Disney Channel features [[Bumper (broadcasting)|bumpers]]. These bumpers have varied in content substantially throughout the history of the channel, created using a broad array of artistic methods such as [[traditional animation]], [[Computer animation|digital animation]], [[Clay animation|claymation]], [[live action]], and [[puppeteer]]ing. They have been praised for their high quality composition and ingenuity.<ref name="defunctland">{{cite web |last1=Perjurer |first1=Kevin |date=November 20, 2022 |title=Disney Channel's Theme: A History Mystery |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_rjBWmc1iQ |access-date=23 November 2022 |website=[[Defunctland]] |publisher=YouTube |archive-date=22 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221122210826/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_rjBWmc1iQ |url-status=live }}</ref>

However, they became especially iconic in September 2002, when Disney Channel underwent a major rebranding, including in its bumpers and logo. These bumpers highlighted the iconic 'mouse ears' logo throughout them, featuring various videos that culminated in both the appearance of the logo, alongside a newly introduced theme song, which is regarded as its most recognizable and is still used to this day. This theme song consists of a four-note mnemonic jingle composed by [[Alex Lasarenko]], former executive of Tonal Sounds and creative director at [[Elias Music|Elias Arts]].<ref name=defunctland/><ref name=musicuniverse>{{cite web |last1=Bailey |first1=Matt |title=Defunctland uncovers secret behind Disney Channel's iconic musical theme|url=https://themusicuniverse.com/defunctland-uncovers-secret-behind-disney-channels-iconic-musical-theme/ |website=The Music Universe |date=21 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221121045228/https://themusicuniverse.com/defunctland-uncovers-secret-behind-disney-channels-iconic-musical-theme/ |access-date=24 November 2022|archive-date=21 November 2022 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In addition to its logo and jingle, Disney Channel's most recognizable bumper format consists of a celebrity or figure from one of its programs holding a wand and drawing the then-current form of the Disney Channel logo on the screen. This celebrity will introduce their name, the program they are featured on, and finish with the line "And you're watching Disney Channel." Dubbed a 'Wand ID' by fans, this format typically ends in a variation of the mnemonic.<ref name=defunctland/>
