<Li> Dylan Sprouse portrays Zack Martin, the self - centered, outgoing, immature twin, who usually dresses in skater and baggy - camo clothes . At school, he is a straight "D" student, although he does well in wood shop . In the first season of the show it was revealed that Zack is ten minutes older than Cody, as he was born at 6: 30 and Cody at 6: 40 which he uses against Cody, normally telling him, since he's older, to do some sort of job that he doesn't want to do . Or in some cases, gives him "brotherly" advice because, "I'm the older twin ." He has a big crush on Maddie, but after the first season, he was showing this less frequently . He has also taken advantage of his teachers and has faked conditions like dyslexia (in Smart and Smarterer). </Li> <Li> Brenda Song portrays London Tipton, the only daughter of Wilfred Tipton, the owner of the Tipton Hotel . London is a rich, dimwitted teenager with her own private suite at the Tipton Hotel in Boston, complete with a large wardrobe with several divisions (each with their own talking mirror) and a kitchen . London loves fashion; she only wears designer clothes and hates plaid, especially the plaid Catholic school uniforms . She does not have a nanny, or any other adult, to help her but relies on the Tipton Hotel Staff for any assistance or guidance . In the episode Forever Plaid, due to her poor attendance at her old school, she transferred to the same Catholic girls' school, "Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow," that Maddie attends . In the episode First Day of High School, London transfers to Zack and Cody's public school, "Cheevers High," due to being expelled from all of the private schools she had previously attended . She dislikes her step - moms (previous and current) and usually talks to Mr. Moseby and Maddie about her problems . When happy she always claps her hands repeatedly while saying her catchphrase, "Yay me!" She also has her own web show called Yay Me!

However, it is possible that she developed an allergy to lobster after the earlier episodes and before the later ones . It is also revealed in one episode that she must think about what she does before doing it . For example, she was walking through the lobby while thinking "left, right, blink, breathe" in the episode Super Twins (although this was Zack's dream). London is a shopaholic who shops to fill the void of lack of attention from her father . </Li> <Li> Ashley Tisdale portrays Maddie Fitzpatrick, the teenage candy - counter girl at the Tipton Hotel, who throughout the series holds several other jobs / positions including a cashier at the Cluck Bucket, manager on the Camp Tipton Daycare Center, and counselor for her school's summer camp program--Camp Heaven on Earth . She also visits Antarctica during the series to help save the penguins . While she comes from a lower - class family, Maddie is very hard - working, outspoken, and intelligent . On the occasions that her selfish side comes out, she can be a bigger opportunist than London, though she always loses out when this side of her personality is shown . Like Esteban, it is shown she has an incredibly long name; in the episode "Pilot Your Own Life," it is revealed to be Madeline Margaret Genevieve Miranda Catherine Fitzpatrick . She attends private school at "Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow" and later attends "Cheevers High ."

It is later revealed that his first name is Marion and the majority of the other characters often made fun of his masculinity because of his feminine name, as well as his experience as a ballet dancer . His repeated catch phrases, "Good luck with that" or "Pish posh" have become his trademark . Though he acts as though he does not care about the boys, he actually has a great deal of affection for them . For example, when Mr. Moseby took the boys to a baseball game, he caught a ball for Cody, ultimately making Mr. Moseby "the most hated man in Boston". In the episode "The Ghost of 613," it is revealed that he started out at the Tipton as a bellhop back in the 1970s, and had a "voluminous' fro". Mr. Moseby is more of a father to London than her own, because Mr. Tipton is seldom around . Moseby even taught London how to walk, her ABCs, and tried to teach her how to drive . He cares for London and treats her like his own child . He also helps London with any problems she is having . He was also known as the "Meanager," due to his stern persona . He has an older brother named Spencer, who is a little person (played by Dana Michael Woods), who is very wealthy and lactose intolerant .
