                 "The Swap" is a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) which was released in 2016, isn't the best DCOM to have ever been made, but it is definitely one of my personal favorite DCOMs.         "The Swap" is based on Meghan Shull's 2014 novel of the same name.

                 "Princess Protection Program" is a DCOM which was released in 2009, isn't the best DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) to have ever been made, but it is definitely one of my personal favorite DCOMs.         The premise of the movie is that  Princess Rosalinda Maria Montoya Fioré , soon to be queen (portrayed by Demi Lovato) of the fictional country Costa Luna has to escape her country as its being invaded, but has to leave behind her mother.
