Got plans on November 2nd? If not, you do now! And if you already have plans, CANCEL THEM!

To be honest, my evening plans often include cozying up on the couch to stream something on Disney+, whether it’s a show I’m binge-watching or a favorite movie I’m rewatching, but this fall, I’ve got important plans every Tuesday night. That’s right, folks, Dancing with the Stars is back, and coming soon is DISNEY NIGHT.
It has become a Dancing with the Stars tradition each year to have a themed Disney Night somewhere midway through the competition. You see, the show is aired on Disney+ and ABC, so it would make sense that The Walt Disney Company wants to advertise all of its assets in one night. And even if you’re not caught up on the competition or rooting for one celeb in particular, Disney Night is an absolute TREAT for Disney fans.

This is one of the nights each year that Dancing with the Stars goes BIG budget. We’re talking full sets, over-the-top costumes, and special effects that don’t usually grace the ballroom floor. Throughout the night, the stars and their professional dancer partners will perform to hit songs from a variety of Disney movies (and sometimes TV shows). The production value is off the charts!

If you’re hoping to watch Disney Night on Dancing with the Stars for Season 35, you can tune in to ABC or Disney+ on November 2nd, 2026, at 8 PM EST. The show streams on Disney+ and Hulu the next day. Voting for the stars is open during the show and closes shortly after the final dance. To vote, you can text the first name of your favorite star to 21523 or vote on the ABC website. (Note: If you’re a West Coast resident, the show comes on at 8PM PT as well, so you’ll have to blind vote early, while it’s premiering live on the East Coast).

Of course, you know that our team here at DFB will be tuning in! This season, we’re running a Dancing with the Stars bracket on Bracketology, and friendships are on the line. We’re seriously competitive, y’all. As it currently stands, I’m in second place, but I’m ready to claw my way to the top and win this whole thing. I’m rooting HARD for Jackson Olson from the Savannah Bananas! (He also happens to be a big DFB fan.)
