[This story contains spoilers from episode four of Dancing With the Stars season 34.] On Tuesday, the beloved Disney Night returned to ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ Unfortunately, Hilaria Baldwin and her partner Gleb Savchenko were eliminated by the end of the episode, despite Baldwin performing a Star Wars-inspired quickstep that earned a score of 23 out of 30.
“This has been an incredible experience,” Baldwin expressed after her elimination. “I’m so grateful to all of you, and I’m grateful to my children and my family. Thank you guys for this.”
Prior to Disney Night, three other celebrities had exited the competition, leaving behind notable contestants such as the ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives‘ stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, Olympian Jordan Chiles, social media influencer Alix Earle, Dylan Efron (brother of Zac Efron and winner of ‘The Traitors’ season three), actresses Danielle Fishel and Elaine Hendrix, Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying, conservationist Robert Irwin (son of Steve Irwin), comedian Andy Richter, and Baldwin.
The evening kicked off with Dylan Efron performing a quickstep to “Life Is a Highway” from the film ‘Cars.’ Although Efron did not dance to a song from ‘High School Musical,’ his brother’s iconic film, Hoying delivered a salsa set to “Bop to the Top” from the same soundtrack.
A recurring theme emerged during Disney Night, with contestants vowing to deliver emotional performances in the upcoming Dedication Night if they advanced past Tuesday’s show. Efron hinted at a special routine dedicated to Zac following a comment from Julianne Hough regarding his lack of a High School Musical-themed performance, stating, “I have something special for next week if I’m still here.” Baldwin also mentioned plans to dance with her husband, Alec Baldwin, next week if she had not been eliminated.
Among the standout performers, Alix Earle achieved her first set of eights, totaling 24 out of 30 for her Maleficent-themed Viennese waltz. Similarly, Jordan Chiles matched her score of 24 out of 30 for a quickstep to “Special Spice,” tying her score from last week’s TikTok Night.
However, it was Whitney Leavitt who captured the judges’ attention, earning the first nine of the season from Carrie Ann Inaba. Judges Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough also praised Leavitt and her partner Mark Ballas, with Hough enthusiastically stating, “Get these two on Broadway, stat!”

Leavitt has consistently secured top placement since the season’s premiere, and Disney Night marked her fourth consecutive week leading the leaderboard with Ballas. Last week, Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui was eliminated alongside her partner Brandon Armstrong during TikTok Night, sharing her frustration by saying, “Pissed.”
