Fans who have been enjoying the pint-sized competition on “Dancing With the Stars: Juniors” will need to take a week off from the ABC competition series, as the network has delayed episode 5 until Nov. 11.

The reality competition series, which most recently eliminated Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson from the show, is taking a week off due to the special broadcast of “Mickey’s 90th Spectacular,” which will be airing on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. EST instead.

The spectacular, according to ABC, will be a two-hour event paying tribute to Mickey Mouse 90 years after his first appearance in “Steamboat Willie” on Nov. 18, 1928. The event will feature appearances by Skylar Astin, Anna Camp, Kelsea Ballerini, Luis Fonsi, Tori Kelly, Miles Brown, Josh Gad, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Sage Steele. Original “Mickey Mouse Club” stars Bob Burgess and Sharon Baird will also be there for the festivities.

The special will also feature appearances by Kristen Bell, Sofia Carson, Tony Hale, Sarah Hyland and Disney CEO Bob Iger. In addition, there will be several musical performances, including Josh Groban and NCT 127. Leslie Odom Jr will perform “When You Wish Upon A Star,” while Meghan Trainor and Zac Brown Band will also perform the Disney classics, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” and “Bare Necessities.”

Of course, it won’t be a long wait for fans who want to continue watching the dancing competition series. It will return one week later in its usual time slot.

When the competition returns, according to an ABC press release, the remaining teams will perform either a Charleston, jazz, cha cha or samba to a song of the junior celebrity’s choice. Songs were chosen either because they were a favorite tune or one which holds a special meaning.

The remaining competitors who are still vying for a chance at being crowned the first-ever “Juniors” champion are Akash Vukoti, Ariana Greenblatt, Jason Maybaum, Mackenzie Ziegler, Mandla Morris, Miles Brown and Sky Brown.

“Mickey’s 90th Spectacular” airs at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. “Dancing With the Stars: Juniors” will return on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. EST.
