This is Frozen Grocer's excellent answer for all things Disney Channel:
"The Disney Channel" doesn't have auditions. It's not a junior high play. The shows on the Disney Channel have casting people who send out what are called "breakdowns" to registered agents. These are lists of roles that are being cast and the types of actors that are needed. The agents then comb through their clients to see if any of them meet those criteria. If they do, those actors (or the video reels of their previous work) are sent out to read for particular parts. The network doesn't just hold an open audition and hope that people will show up.
You're not going to get seen by anyone at any of the production companies just by contacting them and telling them how much you like their shows. You need to have a legitimate agent who will send you out for jobs, and even then the odds are slim of A) even getting an agent in the first place, B) getting sent out for something, and C) getting sent out for a show on the Disney Channel.

As everyone said, the best way to get in is to get yourself a notable agent. But it takes a lot of work, a ton of luck, and considerable inside connections to land a role like that.
Your best bet is to get involved in as much local theater as possible, apply to agencies, take classes, and work hard at them, meet as many people in the acting industry as possible so you can find that right connection.
If you're extremely lucky and consistent with your work, and build up good reputations with other theaters and acting companies and your parents are really good at dealing with people, you might get a call in a couple of years.
If, as you said, you don't care anything about the fame, then just do your acting for the love of it, and don't worry about the Disney Channel.

You can't be on Disney channel unless you are already on t.v!!! they go around and watch people act on other t.v shows, then pick who they want. usually they can act, sing, and dance.
but there is a way to get in, but thousands of kids try, and getting in is like winning the power ball. sent in a face shot with what you can do on the back (IE. dance, sing, act....) and if you have ever had any experience. then, if they like, idk, call you back or something, than you sent in a clip of you acting. sorry to disappoint you, but there's a slim change you get in unless you are a big time actor already.

Miley Cyrus has a famous father, it was easy for her to get her own television show on the Disney channel.

Disney Channel is horrible. If that's your idea of acting please do some research! Look into community theater and acting classes to get started, if you want experience that's where you need to start.

Get an agent and he will find auditions he thinks you are ready for. Maybe you can mention disney channel to him/her and they might be able to help

What Katie said is wrong. you don't have to be on t.v. to be on disney channel. I'm not... lol. But to be on Disney channel, you have to have just the right amount of luck, and of course talent. Just keep yourself aware, and your eyes open for chances. Mine is called AMTC. (google it.)
