Phil of the Future
Save Phil of the Future Day is To Be Announced
Here we have collected the tools you will need for Save Phil of the Future Day. We recomend setting this page as your homepage the day before Save Phil of the Future Day so you will be reminded to call and email on Save Phil of the Future Day.
It is important that as many fans as possible participate in these series of special days. We dont want Disney to see all the emails and letters coming from just one area, it will look better for us if the emails, letters and faxes are coming from fans EVERYWHERE. That way, every fan is counted and it shows how big our movement really is. Emails and letters from one source doesnt make our movement very credible with Disney ... every fan, on some level ... no matter how small or large a contribution, must participate in some way.
- All known Disney contact info is available on our How to Help page.

What you should do on Save Phil of the Future Day:
Send email to Disney. We have our new email program set up now at SDSmail.org. You can also use the email list to send mail from your personal email program. Your goal should be 3 sets of emails. We recomend sending a minimum of one set and a maximum of 6 sets per email address per day. Don't be afraid to modify the email templates to give each message a unique feel. Some may call this spamming, and it kind of is, but we're trying to keep the spamming part to a minimum.
Send Faxes to Disney. You can use these instructions to set up your Windows XP computer as a fax machine. Unfortunately, Windows Vista Home does not include a fax program. You can, however, use FaxZero.com regardless of your operating system. Faxes are harder for Disney to ignore then emails, and cost very little (in phone charges). Disney's main fax number is (818) 560-1930. The rest are listed on the How to Help Page.
Call Disney. This is the most important thing you can do! Three important Disney Phone numbers are the Toll Free number: (800) 874-1687, the NEW Toll Free number: (800) 723-4763 [Canada: 888 877-2843], and the main Disney Switchboard number: (818) 560-1000. If we jam their phone lines, it's very hard not to notice us. Many more phone numbers (including some cell phone numbers!) are available on the How to Help Page.
In preparation for this event, you should send paper letters to Disney using the addresses on the How to Help page about a week before the date of the event. The goal is to have them arive on Save Phil of the Future Day. But it's never too late to send your mail in.
Also use the Media Contact email program to tell the media about our cause. But please, Do Not Spam The Media!. The media contacts on that program are NOT Disney. There is a sample letter for the Save KP movement that you can adapt for Phil of the Future and other useful information in the Contacting the Media section.
If you have a question about Save Phil of the Future Day you should, email the SDS Webmasters (But please remember, SDS is not affilated with the Walt Disney Conpany).
Phil of the Future was cancelled in the Fall of 2005 at the end of Season two. As far as we can tell, there was no single factor that caused disney to cancel the show, but rather a variety of factors. These included Alyson Michalka's Mother wanting a pay increase for Aly, Scheguling conflicts with Ricky Ullman's other projects, Aly & AJ's (then) new singing carear, and issues related to ratings. Since the orginal cancelation, Aly & AJ's new series fell through, Ricky made a rucus with the WeBee Boys, Amy Bruckner left hollywood, the sets where torn down, and Disney channel hit a new stride with High School Musical.
Today, only a handful of hardcore fans keep up the fight, and a third season seems unlikely. However, all is not lost. While many fans have moved on, there are still many fans around. A DCOM, especially if it where done in such a way that it promoted Aly & AJ, is still a good possibility. Because of the time travel aspect of the show, it is easy to pick up years after season two ended.
