Watch the Opening Number of Dancing with the Stars Disney Night!
Watch Dancing with the Stars Mondays at 8|7c on ABC!
There will be Disney magic in the ballroom as nine celebrity and pro-dancer couples compete on the fifth week of the 2019 season of Dancing with the Stars 2019, live, MONDAY OCT 14 8|7c, on ABC. Episodes can also be viewed the next day on ABC.com, the ABC app and Hulu. For the first time in the show's history, the opening dance number will take place at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, in a pre-recorded segment and will feature the cast on Main Street, U.S.A. and in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, choreographed by the acclaimed Zach Woodlee (Grease Live and Glee). During the show, the celebrity contestants and their pros take over the Happiest Place on Earth as they seek inspiration for their dance numbers at Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. One lucky Dancing with the Stars couple will even get to travel to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and take the controls of the Millennium Falcon. From thrill attractions to favorite Disney characters and more, this will be a "Disney Night" to remember.
Vying for America's vote, each couple will dance to a variety of beloved Disney songs including "We're All in This Together" from High School Musical, "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid, "A Spoonful of Sugar" from Mary Poppins, "Beauty and the Beast" from the live-action Beauty and the Beast, and "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from the live-action The Lion King, among others.
In addition, a special dance inspired by new song "Into the Unknown" from Disney's Frozen II will be featured. And special looks from Disney+'s upcoming High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and live-action Lady and the Tramp will be shown.
Each Monday night, the live vote (via abc.com, the ABC app and SMS/text) will be combined with the judges' scores and tabulated in real time. The live votes will occur each week only during the live broadcast in the EDT/CDT time zones (but fans in all U.S. time zones may vote within that window).

- Country artist Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko (Samba)

Hosted by two-time Emmy® Award-winning host Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews, Dancing with the Stars is the hit series in which celebrities perform choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including head judge, Len Goodman, and dancers/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.
Dancing with the Stars is produced by BBC Studios. Andrew Llinares is the executive producer.
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (audio speaker iconlisten) is a song and single from the 1964 Disney musical film Mary Poppins. It was written by the Sherman Brothers, and sung by Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. It also appears in the 2004 stage show version. Because Mary Poppins was a period piece set in 1910, songs that sounded similar to songs of the period were wanted. The movie version finished at #36 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
