- It was originally going to be named Disney's Whomptastic, but was changed due to the meaning of the word "Whomps". Most shows airing on the block would be reruns of already-running One Saturday Morning shows, with the exception of Doug, which had already completed its run. Some shows, like Sabrina, The Animated Series would sometimes air their new episodes on the block instead. Recess had Season 4 and Season 6 premiere on Disney's One Too, and also had the already-aired episodes reran. All of the episodes from Disney's One Too would be reran on ABC.

In March 1998, UPN resumed talks with Disney and in April, UPN made a deal with Disney to air Disney programming on Sunday mornings (8-10 a.m.) and weekday afternoons (3-5 p.m.). The new lineup, a sister block to Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC, would be called Disney's One Too. Originally announced as "Whomptastic Weekdays" (though changed likely due to it being a word used in the animated series Recess as a substitute for "sucks"), the block debuted on September 5, 1999. The Disney's One Too block was also seen in Canada on the family-oriented specialty channel Family, which has long been associated with The Walt Disney Company due to its carriage of Disney-produced feature films and television series (and which currently serves as the Canadian broadcaster of Disney Channel's original programming). Many shows formerly featured on Disney's One Too continued in reruns on Toon Disney and the Disney Channel. The block's last airdate was August 29, 2003, leaving UPN as the only major broadcast television network without children's programming.

The block ended in 2003 due to Disney's contract with UPN ending. The timeslot used for Recess, 4:00 PM, would be used for Recess repeats on Disney Channel on weekday afternoons until 2005.
