Disney World wasn’t the happiest place on earth for Alfonso Ribeiro for a hot minute.

The “Dancing with the Stars” cohost apparently hurt himself while at the Orlando, Florida, theme park over the weekend, TMZ first reported.

The “Fresh Prince” alum was doing a routine at Magic Kingdom with costar Julianne Hough for the upcoming ABC holiday special, “Magical Christmas Day Parade.”

The gossip outlet has video right after the mishap taken by bystanders who say that the 53-year-old actor stepped wrong on a trolley rail on Main Street USA and rolled his ankle.

Ribeiro is seen hopping around on one leg in pain, leaning on costar Julianne Hough and then being led away in a wheelchair. We have a feeling the clip won’t show up on his other show, “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

Fortunately, the true pro was good to go by Tuesday night for the 500th episode of “DWTS,” and the special will go on as planned, airing 10 a.m. Dec. 25.
