With a dash of pixie dust and a touch of magic, 14 celebrity and pro-dancer couples will compete for a third week as the magic of Disney returns to the ballroom for the 2020 season of Dancing with the Stars, airing Monday, September 28, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. The highly anticipated “Disney Night” episode will begin with a cold open featuring host Tyra Banks and celebrities taking the viewing audience inside their favorite Disney movies.
Want to see your favorite couples advance? Live votes (via ABC.com, the ABC app, and SMS/text) will occur each week during the live show in the ET/CT time zones. However, fans in all U.S. time zones may also vote within that window. With each subsequent episode, the live vote combined with the judges’ scores will be revealed during the show.
Judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli will have tough choices to make, and in a first for Dancing with the Stars’ “Disney Night,” one couple will be eliminated at the end of the show. The couples (along with their dance choices and songs) are as follows:
