Zack & Cody Can Finally Get Their Restaurant Reservation

Nov 6 2023

Disney+ took to TikTok to share a blast from the past – a scene from Suite Life on Deck which sees twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse, portraying Cody and Zack, attempting to get a table for two at a prestigious restaurant.

Unfortunately for the twins, the only reservation available was set for 7:30 on the 16th of November 2023. And even though that might seem close now, it would have been 15 years ago for the twins.

Talk about a packed dining experience! The Suite Life on Deck, a spin-off sequel to The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, premiered back in 2008 and proved to be a massive hit on DISNEY CHANNEL.

Following the life of the twins as they set sail aboard the SS Tipton to continue their studies, the show introduced new characters, love interests and opportunities for the brothers to get up to fresh shenanigans.
