Plot[]
Part 1: "Cast-Away (To Another Show)"[]
- Part 1 - Episode 25 of Wizards of Waverly Place.
Justin is excited to meet London Tipton when he wins an essay contest prize: a cruise on the SS Tipton. Theresa and Jerry say that Alex can't go because of her 14 missed assignments. Alex, finds out that there are lessons on board and convinces her parents to let her stay aboard the SS Tipton, and Max joins Justin on board, where Alex bonds with Bailey Pickett, but soon gets in hot water when she uses magic to bring Harper aboard. Alex says that she is Ashley Olsen so she won't get caught skipping classes and Harper has to be Alex Russo.
When Justin meets London, he pretends that he is a doctor, which gains her interest. However, Justin begins to lose interest in her when he discovers how dumb she is. Meanwhile, Max and Zack compete in a series of outrageous challenges, but during the luggage cart race, Bailey gets knocked over into the hot tub while she was eating and starts choking. Alex steps in to give Bailey the heimlich maneuver and saves her, but Alex accidentally reveals herself when she says her name is 'Ashlee Simpson'. London, ashamed of Justin not saving Bailey, accuses him of being a "dumb doctor" and dumps him (which Justin goes along with). At the end Alex transports Harper to Rome instead of home by accident, and continues to skip class.
Part 2: "Double-Crossed"[]
- Part 2 - Episode 21 of The Suite Life On Deck.
Hannah Montana boards the SS Tipton on her way to a concert performance in Honolulu. Since Bailey loves Hannah Montana, Cody attempts to get tickets because he knows Hannah. However, Hannah doesn't remember Cody, so he enlists Woody to help him get tickets by doing a scavenger hunt. Alex pulls a prank on Justin, for which Mr. Moseby blames Zack. Zack then develops a crush on Alex, while Max introduces London to a magical suitcase.[5] Cody admits to Bailey that Hannah didn't recognize him. When Cody gets hit by cake, Hannah sees him wearing the shirt she remembers Cody. Hannah thinks that he kept the shirt from That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana. Hannah gives Cody and Bailey tickets and backstage passes to her show. Bailey then exclaims that it would be the best date ever. She then kisses Cody and he reacts by running out of the room and shouting "Yes! My six-month plan worked!" Thus, the relationship of Bailey and Cody begins. Also Justin, Zack and Mr. Moseby bust Alex for the prank.
Part 3: "Super(stitious) Girl"[]
- Part 3 - 19 of Hannah Montana.
While in her room, Hannah loses the anklet her mother gave her. Lola helps her to try and find it, but with no luck. Finally, a maid shows the anklet to Mr. Moseby, but London snatches it, seeing it as valuable. Hannah and Lola notice that London has it, but saying that the anklet has fake diamonds, London throws it overboard. Hannah is depressed and wonders if anything else could happen. A storm blows her wig away, her hair dye attempt went wrong (her hair turned green), a rat appeared on her head, and a mirror broke. Hannah's rehearsal went poorly, as well. Hannah tells Cody and Bailey that the concert is canceled. Miley believes the anklet is the only thing that will help her, but her father tells her that the spirit of her mother is in her heart, too. Robby gives Miley another wig and Hannah tells Cody and Bailey to come on and that they are invited to the after party, Bailey then asks if that was his plan and Cody talks about a good relationship needing honesty and lies by saying yes it was his plan. Hannah has the Hawaii concert, and all is well. Meanwhile, back in California, Jackson, Oliver and Rico open a package that belongs to Robby, and it turns out to be a bounce house, that inflates itself, getting the boys stuck to the window. Rico eventually deflates it with his fingernail.

Theme song[]
The theme song to Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana is a remix of the three shows' opening sequences and theme songs in a format of a Rubik's Cube twisting and turning to the three shows' theme songs; it starts with Wizards of Waverly Place, then The Suite Life on Deck, and followed by Hannah Montana. It lasted for 1.03 minutes and appears during the show when changing to the different episodes.
Subsequent rebroadcasts of all three episodes feature each show's respective opening sequences for the individual episodes, as well as the closing credits for Wizards and On Deck for the episodes of those two series that were part of the crossover, that were not included in the original broadcast and initial repeats.
- Note: This is Disney Channel's first crossover to have an opening sequence and theme song.
