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 start using 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!
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!

V. Grey says
I just got a FireStick. My family lives three blocks away. They bought me this device and it is exactly like theirs. We have the same internet company. Same devices everything. However Disney plus works perfect for her but not me. I download the app, and it loads forever but never gets to the login/trial screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and nothing. I have rebooted, reset device, turned off internet, turned it back on, nothing. ALL my other apps work fine. Disney plus works on mobile/ other devices. What should I do?
Max says
Hi, I am not quite sure what’s causing the issue. Many Disney+ users have experienced the same problem. Have you tried contacting Disney+ support?
