"O Maravilhoso Mundo de Disney" (Wonderful World of Disney") is the block after the Zapping Zone where different Walt Disney Pictures are aired. The block is dispensable, so it is used when specials need to be aired. In normal seasons from Monday to Thursday it is aired after the Zapping Zone, and on Fridays it is replaced with "Película Disney Channel"/"Filme Disney Channel" (Disney Channel Movie) and it's aired after this(but regular films air during the mornings every weekday).

• If it lasts 1:40 to 1:45, a miniature episode of an Original Animated Series will air (most likely an 11-minute episode of an Animated Original Series, the most common to air are Phineas and Ferb and American Dragon: Jake Long. Sometimes, Art Attack is air instead).
• If it lasts 1:50 to 1:55, either a music video with air along with Disney Channel promos music video, or an episode of a Disney Channel Short Series such as Shaun the Sheep, The Road to The Cheetah Girls 3: One World, As the Bell Rings,, Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream or Disney Planet.
