Whitney Leavitt is excited to bring her daughter to the Dancing with the Stars ballroom.
Speaking with PEOPLE after a rollercoaster week 3, the MomToker, 32, shared her excitement for next week’s theme — Disney! There will be a very special guest in the audience cheering Leavitt on, the oldest of her three children, daughter Sedona, 5½.
“My oldest daughter hasn’t come to a show yet, but she is going to come to Disney Week, which I’m really excited about. It’s going to be really cute,” she shares.
Asked if Sedona has any ideas for channeling all things Disney, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star says, “I mean, of course, she’d love for me to be a Disney princess or something, I’m sure, because she’s my little princess.

Excited, she adds, “I think she’s just going to enjoy the night. It’s Disney!”
Partner Mark Ballas, a dad himself, suggested, “And we can take them to Disneyland, which will be fun. We get to do the carousel.”
“Yeah! It’s always nostalgic taking your kids to Disneyland,” she shared, adding, “Honestly, love it more than me just going.”
In addition to Sedona, Leavitt shares sons Liam, 3½, and Billy, who celebrates his first birthday later this month, with husband Conner.
Speaking with PEOPLE earlier in the competition, Leavitt shared that being on the show is made even more special knowing her kids are witnessing it.
“My family rallies around me in a different way — my husband and kids bring me so much strength and joy. It’s a full-circle moment for me,” she shared.
“I went from being the little girl on stage waving to my parents in the audience, to now having my own kids watching me and hopefully seeing what it looks like to chase a dream with courage and heart. Knowing they’re proud of me keeps me going, even on the hardest rehearsal days.”
