Dancing With the Stars Disney Night is the special Monday, November 2, 2026, episode of Season 35. ABC announced eight remaining celebrity–professional couples, a Disney-meets-Broadway theme, team dances, and guest judge Cynthia Erivo. The two-hour show is scheduled for 8–10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on ABC, with a live Disney+ stream and next-day viewing options. If you are checking the schedule, the performers, or whether you can still vote, the important details depend on your time zone and whether the live voting window remains open.
These details come from ABC's November 2 episode announcement and Disney's official streaming calendar. The lineup below describes announced performances, not independently verified completed routines or final scores. No elimination result is treated as confirmed here.
Disney Night is scheduled for Monday, November 2, 2026, a special move from the show's regular Tuesday-night pattern. ABC lists an 8–10 p.m. broadcast in the Eastern and Pacific time zones and 7–9 p.m. in the Central time zone. The live Disney+ listing specifies 8 p.m. Eastern. These local television listings should not be confused with the single nationwide instant when online voting opens.
| Viewing reference | Local time on November 2 | UTC equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern (New York), EST (UTC−05:00) | 8–10 p.m. | November 3, 01:00–03:00 UTC |
| Central (Chicago), CST (UTC−06:00) | 7–9 p.m. | November 3, 01:00–03:00 UTC |
| Pacific ABC local listing (Los Angeles), PST (UTC−08:00) | 8–10 p.m. | November 3, 04:00–06:00 UTC |
U.S. daylight saving time ended on November 1, 2026 in locations that observe it. That makes the November 2 labels EST, CST, and PST—not EDT, CDT, or PDT. The National Institute of Standards and Technology's 2026 daylight saving guidance confirms the transition. For anyone watching on a streaming service, check the event start time shown in the app for your location; the Pacific ABC local program listing is not the same instant as the 8 p.m. Eastern live voting window.
ABC is framing this episode around Disney stories and their stage adaptations. That means the announced music comes not only from familiar animated films but also from theatrical productions such as Aida, Hamilton, and Newsies. It is better understood as a Disney-and-Broadway showcase than as an evening restricted to animated movie soundtracks.
Cynthia Erivo is the announced guest judge, joining the program's regular panel of Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough co-host the series. The presentation includes individual competitive dances, professional and troupe numbers, and returning team routines. These formats give the episode more moving parts than a standard sequence of solo couple performances, but the established competition remains central.
ABC identified the following eight remaining couples for the November 2 show. The music selections and dance styles are advance announcements; a last-minute on-air change would need to be checked against the broadcast or an updated network notice.
| Celebrity and professional partner | Announced dance | Song and production |
|---|---|---|
| Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov | Quickstep | “A Star Is Born” — Hercules |
| Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas | Jive | “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” — Peter Pan |
| Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik | Contemporary | “Easy As Life” — Aida |
| Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson | Jazz | “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” — Mary Poppins |
| Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach | Samba | “Under the Sea” — The Little Mermaid |
| Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa | Paso Doble | “Satisfied” — Hamilton |
| Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy | Quickstep | “Be Our Guest” — Beauty and the Beast |
| Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold | Waltz | “I See the Light” — Tangled |
ABC also announced live guest performances by Heather Headley during numbers associated with Aida and Tangled, Kyra Belle Johnson during Mary Poppins, Michael James Scott during The Little Mermaid, and Rodney Ingram during Beauty and the Beast. A guest singer's appearance is separate from the celebrity–professional dance partnership, so the two should not be mixed up when reading a performance recap.
Yes. ABC announced the return of team dances with two named groups. Team Slaytopia is set to perform to “Zoo” from Zootopia 2, with Tatyana Ali as team captain and host Alfonso Ribeiro participating alongside the pairings of Tatyana/Jan, Maura/Mark, Amber/Pasha, and Julia/Ezra. Team Wildcats is assigned “We're All in This Together” from High School Musical, with Connor Wood as captain and host Julianne Hough joining Connor/Rylee, Ezra/Daniella, Jenna/Val, and Harry/Jenna.
Separately, the announced professional and troupe performances feature music connected to The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Newsies, The Greatest Showman, and Aladdin. Team routines and troupe performances may be memorable parts of the telecast, but do not assume that a group routine automatically determines the final elimination. The show's official scoring and voting announcements are the proper basis for that conclusion.
For the live episode, ABC lists the special Monday broadcast and Disney+ carries the live event. Disney's November 2026 release calendar, published October 15, lists the November 2 livestream at 8 p.m. Eastern and the episode as available on Disney+ and Hulu on November 3. Availability can depend on your subscription, service region, and local television schedule.
ABC says that online voting runs during the live simulcast in the Eastern and Central time zones. Eligible online voters in the United States, its territories, and Canada can use the official Dancing With the Stars voting page. Text-message voting is available through participating U.S. wireless carriers; ABC says Canadian viewers cannot vote by SMS. Read the live page's current instructions and eligibility conditions before submitting a ballot.
If you are in the Pacific time zone and watch an 8 p.m. local ABC broadcast, the Eastern/Central live voting window may already have closed. It is therefore important not to wait for a delayed local broadcast if you intend to participate. Check the official voting page for the actual open or closed status rather than assuming the full two-hour TV slot remains available for voting. ABC says viewers' votes are combined with the judges' scores when determining who may be at risk of elimination; a fan vote alone does not establish the result.
For a reliable recap, separate the announced lineup from what was actually performed, scored, and decided on the broadcast. Confirm the judges' marks, any team-dance scoring details, and the final elimination from the aired episode or an official ABC update before repeating claims circulating on social media. At the time this preview was prepared, the November 2 performances and final elimination were not verified as completed results.
The simplest way to follow the episode is to use ABC's official rundown for pairings and songs, Disney's release calendar for replay availability, and the official voting page for voting eligibility. That combination answers the most common Disney Night questions without mixing this 2026 special with prior seasons or treating unverified predictions as outcomes.
