Fun Facts:

Prior to the opening credits, the premiere of the Teen Beach included a dedication to beach party film legend and original Mouseketeer Annette Funicello, who passed the same year as Teen Beach Movie's premiere following a long, valiant battle against multiple sclerosis. The dedication read, "In memory of Disney Legend Annette Funicello, the world's most beloved beach movie star.”

This is the only Disney Channel Original Movie that was released in 2013, making it the first time this has happened since 1997 with Under Wraps (1997).
