"We just want to take this time to truly just enjoy our family," Daniella, 33, explained to Us Weekly.
The professional dancer said she and Pasha, 40, "haven't had a moment" to focus on themselves and their three-year-old daughter, Nikita.
"She has been on three tours," Daniella said. "We haven't had a break, and I think this is the time to just inhale each other and go for a vacation in December or something."
Daniella, however, suggested she may surprise fans at one or more of the tour stops.
"[We could] pop in and out because I think we should do some of the stuff. That'd be fun," Daniella teased. "We'll do a few weeks here and there."
The 60-stop tour is set to feature Adele Zaikman, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Britt Stewart, Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, Hailey Bills, Jenna Johnson, Rylee Arnold, Sharna Burgess, and Val Chmerkovskiy.
The shows will also include new DWTS Troupe members Carter Williams, Jaxon Willard, Kamri Peterson, and Onye Stevenson.
Pasha is partnered with Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn on Dancing with the Stars' currently-airing 35th season.
Pasha and Amber scored 23 out of 30 points from Dancing with the Stars judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli for their rumba to Mariah Carey's "Hero" on Tuesday night.
Daniella, for her part, is competing on Season 35 with Paralympic track and field athlete Ezra Frech. He said her support has helped him manage the highs and lows of the competition.

"Having Dani as the therapist, the best friend, the coach and all of the above is so valuable," Ezra, 21, told Us in a joint interview with Daniella on Tuesday.
Ezra said he tries to absorb as much as he can from his partner, adding that any praise he receives for his dancing is because of her.
The pair scored 24 out of 30 for their rumba to Mariah Carey's "Anytime You Need a Friend" on Tuesday's episode. Daniella said their success comes from focusing on each dance in front of them instead of looking ahead to scores or the next week.

"We literally just try to think about devoting all our time and effort into the dance that we're doing that week," she said.
"It's not about the score. It's not about the next week. It's just about what we're doing in the moment."
Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesday nights at 8PM ET on ABC and Disney+.
