In this guide, you will learn to install Disney+ on FireStick. The steps provided also work on FireStick 4K and Fire TV Cube.
Disney+ (Plus) is an on-demand, video streaming service that was made available on Amazon devices (including FireStick) on November 12, 2019. Ever since then, it has become one of the most downloaded services on the Amazon Store.
This relatively new service now rivals the streaming giants Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime. Disney+ features many exciting originals, including the ones from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It also features content from Pixar and National Geographic. Additionally, you can watch the entire range of movies and specials from the Star Wars franchise.
Disney+ is easy to install and get started with on Amazon FireStick. The app is fully compatible with Alexa. Meaning, you can give the voice command to Alexa to play movies and shows within the app.
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!
