A few posts ago, I mentioned that I love watching TV whenever I want to relax. When it comes to our kids though, we try to limit their time watching TV especially during school days when they have homework to do. But whenever we do allow them to watch, you can be sure that one of the channels they frequent is Disney, most especially when it comes to our three-year-old Ziggy.
But wait, there’s a new Disney channel now available on Cignal TV. Disney XD in HD has arrived! Disney XD in HD is home to shows like Star Wars Rebels, Avengers Assemble, Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H, Ultimate Spider-Man, Kickin’ It and more. All those are characters that our family loves so this is one channel we are super hoping to have soon. Luckily, it’s now available on Cignal TV.
Experience exciting adventure and fun as Cignal TV, the leading Direct-to-Home (DTH) pay TV provider in the country, brings Disney XD – first in HD in the Philippines! Geared towards offering unsurpassed viewing experience and quality content to Filipinos, Cignal TV delivers Disney XD experience straight to the viewers with a thrilling line-up of activities and promos.
Cignal TV and Disney XD kicked off their exciting collaboration by conducting a massive 12-leg nationwide mall tour last June where limited edition Disney XD premium items were given to the first 100 new Cignal subscribers in each mall. As an added treat, one lucky family was flown in to Singapore for a special meet and greet with the cast of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy last July.
It’s all so exciting and that’s why I got so thrilled when we got invited to an event by Cignal TV, wherein both kids and kids-at-heart were given the chance to witness Disney XD Channel come to life through a special meet and greet with Marvel Superhero Spider-Man. The three-day event was held at the SM Megamall Event Center from August 22 to 24. It also featured pre-show games and trivia for the fans and giving away of exclusive Disney XD premium items to those who subscribed to Cignal TV Post-Paid Plan 490 and up.
Seeing the stage got me all so excited already to see Spider-Man. We fell in love with Spider-Man (the mascot) so much when we got to take photos with him several months ago when we dined it at Movie Stars Cafe. Ziggy really got Spider-Man obsessed that time.
Ziggy got excited too when he saw all these Marvel items on display for sale. Who wouldn’t be?
Seeing our fellow blended family couple, Mike and Millie, there with their kids also added to the fun!
The program started with Stan hosting the event. He is the Filipino correspondent of the Daily Bugle and he started the program with lots of games and prizes for us Spider-Man fans. Ziggy got to take a Disney XD cap even though he was acting shy that time and the hubby ended up answering Stan’s questions on his behalf. It was all good though and we gamely waved around these red Spider-Man foam hands.
But of course, the main highlight of the show was seeing Spider-Man!
I have to say, I love how this event was organized. Everybody was in line from the very beginning. There were a lot of people there to assist us with whatever we needed. The Meet and Greet started and ended smoothly as each family went on stage to have their photo taken with Spider-Man. There were even assistants who offered to take our cameras and iPads so that they could take our photos. Finally, it was our turn.
It turned out great, if I do say so myself. I love it!
After the event, we were treated to a really yummy lunch at Buffalo Wings ‘N Things, wherein we had chicken wings, burgers and hotdog sandwiches. We love it there! I especially love chicken wings so I was really, really happy about the treat.
Thanks so much for the invite, Cignal TV and Disney XD! We had fun!!!

You really enjoyed this event and the children too. The Buffalo Wings looks yummy.
Yey! More Disney moments! I know I’m not in grade school anymore but then.. Lol. So good that it’s added in Cignal tv now!
Live events are most popular to children and adults alike especially for Superman, spider Man, batman…In the future, Disney could give some more innovations to the public.
It looks like a fun event. I miss buffalo wings n things already. 🙂

You met Miss Millie from notyourordinarymum. It`s a small blogging world.
Now I feel bad for not being able to go to this event. It does look like it was a lot of fun and hearing that it was so organized makes me want to bang my head on the wall for not bringing B.
Looks like a fun event!

That’s good to hear that your family enjoy the show. I think the chicken wings is really yummy and tasty.
Not a Cignal subscriber, though I saw their ads every time I switched to Disney Channel. Say, this new meidum rally appeals me, (or maybe because I grew up watching some tough stuff cartoons like Spider-Man and Avengers more than the toons that can be easily compared to Disney Channel’s main offering–which I think… sucks 2014 times.)
Anyway, looks like a great event for the family right there. I missed being a kid.
