There will be Disney magic in the ballroom tonight as nine celebrity and pro-dancer couples compete on the fifth week of the 2019 season of “Dancing with the Stars.”
For the first time in the show’s history, the opening dance number will take place at the Disneyland Resort, and will feature the cast on Main Street, U.S.A. and in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The celebrity contestants and their professional partners also explored Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park seeking inspiration for their dance numbers.

Professional dancer, Witney Carson, and her partner, Comedian Kel Mitchell, posed with Mickey Mouse. Will his dapper style be an inspiration for their Monday night Jazz performance?

“The Bachelorette” Hannah Brown, and her partner, professional dancer Alan Bersten, visited Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to gain celestial inspiration for their Foxtrot.

Frontierland provides an adventurous backdrop for actor James Van Der Beek, and his partner, professional dancer Emma Slater, as they discuss their upcoming Paso .
