Disney+ (Plus) is an on-demand video streaming service made available on Amazon devices (including FireStick) on November 12, 2019. 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 use on Amazon FireStick. The app is fully compatible with Alexa, meaning you can use voice commands to play movies and shows within the app.
Attention FireStick Users
ISPs, hackers, and other third-party entities across the world monitor your online activities. For security, privacy, and smooth streaming, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.
I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including an Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.
