ABC's October 29, 2026 official press release confirms that Dancing with the Stars will air a Disney Night episode on Monday, November 2, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. EST/PST, simulcast on ABC and Disney+. Cynthia Erivo will serve as guest judge, and the remaining eight couples will perform routines inspired by Disney stories and stage adaptations.
The announced routines include 'A Star Is Born' from Hercules (Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov), 'Under the Sea' from The Little Mermaid (Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach), 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' from Mary Poppins (Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson), and 'Be Our Guest' from Beauty and the Beast (Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy). ABC also lists songs from Peter Pan, Aida, Hamilton and Tangled.
ABC says the episode will stream the following day on Hulu. The official release does not establish that this is the programme's first Broadway-focused Disney night or that the Monday move was specifically caused by election coverage.
