Danielle Fishel Will Be Joined By Boy Meets World’s William Daniels On DWTS, And Fans Are In Their Mr. Feeny Feelings

Okay, so four weeks in, and Season 34 of *Dancing with the Stars* is already looking good for your 2025 viewing plans. I have to say, Danielle Fishel is really impressing me – her dances are playfully nodding to her *Boy Meets World* and Disney Channel days, which is a lot of fun to watch. And speaking of *Boy Meets World*, get this: William Daniels, the one and only Mr. Feeny, is joining her on the show! The nostalgia is *real*, and fans are absolutely loving the Mr. Feeny energy he’s bringing to the dance floor.

Surprisingly, Danielle Fishel turned down “Dancing with the Stars” several times because she didn’t feel the time was right. However, after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis last year, she eagerly accepted the offer to join Season 34, wanting to add some joy to her life.

The actress previously said that competing in the dance competition series brought her back to Boy Meets World in filming with a set full of people. Well, she’s about to go back further to the famed sitcom as her Pod Meets World Instagram account posted the announcement that BMW actor William Daniels will be joining the ABC series with her, and the Mr. Feeny comments were buzzing:

  • @elaine4animals (DWTS’ Elaine Hendrix): “Giving the people what we want. YESSSSSSS! ❤️”
  • @i_ronney: “Every time I see a Bill Daniels headline my heart skips a beat!”
  • @mychal3ts: “I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 😭”
  • This will be a special dance especially for the millennials ❤️🥹- @the_finalgirl90
  • @disneyplus: “Yessss! 🥹”

I can’t help but imagine how amazing this dance is going to be! Seeing the announcement immediately reminded me of that classic *Boy Meets World* episode where Mr. Feeny and all the guys were dancing to Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff.” I remember Mr. Feeny, the principal, really getting into it with some fun disco moves! So, I have a feeling this 98-year-old is going to make his first dance competition a really entertaining experience for everyone watching.

On her podcast, *Danielle with the Stars*, Danielle Fishel shared that she, her partner Pasha Pashkov, and William Daniels will be dancing to the *Boy Meets World* theme song for their “Dedication Night” performance. It’s hard to picture what that dance will be like, since there are actually two different versions of the theme song, but it definitely makes me excited to see it!

People who enjoy the ABC/Disney sitcom are excited to see the experienced actor perform in Week 5, and his former colleagues are too. Here’s what Trina McGee (who played Angela) and Danny McNulty had to say:

  • @trinamcgeeofficial: “🔥🔥🔥🔥”
  • @dbmcn: “🔥💪🏻❤️‍🔥❤️❤️‍🔥💪🏻🔥”

Emojis often say it all, and former BMW cast members are anticipating some intense competition from their old co-stars on the dance floor. With Mr. Feeny now involved, the judges better give them high marks—or they might face a playful ‘detention’!

I was already feeling nostalgic for *Girl Meets World* after watching Danielle Fishel dance to a song by her former co-star, Sabrina Carpenter, when I found out she’ll be dancing with William Daniels next week! It’s going to be an episode full of memories that fans will definitely want to see.

If you’d like to see Topanga and Mr. Feeny dance, be sure to watch *Dancing with the Stars* live on ABC this Tuesday! If you miss the live show, the episode, called “Dedication Night,” will be available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu the next day.
