Dance makes Disney sleep (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

waltz

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dance' is the definition.
(I know that waltz is a type of dance)

'disney sleep' is the wordplay.
'disney' becomes 'Walt' (Walt Disney).
'sleep' becomes 'z' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'walt'+'z'='WALTZ'

'makes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for waltz that I've seen before include "The 123, 123 ballroom dance" , "Strauss's dance" , "Ballroom dance, originally from Germany" , "Dance in three-four time" , "Last dance?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
