'DWTS' star Amanda Kloots shares cute moment of son Elvis at Disneyland

WATCH: Broadway star Nick Cordero dies after long battle with COVID-19

Amanda Kloots and her son, Elvis, took a trip to the most happiest place on earth: Disneyland!

The talk show host told her Instagram followers Wednesday that she got to experience the theme park with her toddler, whom she shared with her late husband, Nick Cordero, in preparation of "Disney Week" on "Dancing With the Stars."

Alongside a picture of Elvis, 2, smiling for the camera as he hangs on to a fence with a Mickey Mouse-themed Ferris wheel in the background, Kloots wrote, "I got to take Elvis to Disneyland for the first time with @dancingabc to celebrate Disney week! He rode his first ever ride and was completely mesmerized the entire time!"

Although Kloots said the moment was "special" to experience the theme park through Elvis' eyes, she also said it was bittersweet doing so without Cordero, who died of COVID-19 in 2020.

"All these firsts with Elvis are always a mix of emotions to be honest. You’re trying to be in the happy moment and at the same time it is another nudge to the heart of how much has changed," she explained. "I’m so lucky to have this little man in my life though. He is my constant reminder to live, laugh, smile, love and celebrate magic."

"Dancing With the Stars" returns Monday night at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, when the celebs and their pro partners will celebrate all things Disney.
