Optional Add-Ons
Disney+ doesn’t have many add-ons, but one noteworthy feature is Premier Access, which lets you watch select new releases before they’re available to the general public.
However, each Premier Access title costs $29.99, which is higher than a typical cinema ticket. Given that these movies are usually released to all subscribers within a few months, many viewers prefer to wait rather than pay extra.
How Does Disney+ Work?
Getting started with Disney+ is simple. Just create an account and choose your preferred subscription plan — whether it’s the Disney+ (With ads) option at $11.99/month or the ad-free Premium plan at $18.99/month. There’s no free trial available, but the subscription gives you instant access to Disney’s full library of movies, series, and exclusive releases.
You can stream Disney+ on virtually any device:
Computers: Windows and macOS
Mobile devices: Android, iOS, and Amazon Fire tablets
Smart TVs: Roku, Samsung, Apple TV, Chromecast, and more
Game consoles: Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5
When you log in for the first time, a default primary profile is created automatically, giving you unrestricted access to all available content. You can set up to seven individual user profiles, each with personalized settings. For example, you can create child-friendly profiles that restrict PG-rated or higher content. However, note that children can still switch to another profile if it isn’t PIN-protected.
Other customizable settings include language preferences, autoplay controls, PIN protection, and the ability to add favorite titles for tailored recommendations.
Finally, the Disney+ interface is intuitive and visually appealing. It follows a familiar streaming layout, showcasing featured content at the top and neatly organizing other titles by genre, franchise, and category, making browsing effortless.
Is Disney+ Reliable and Safe?
A quick web search reveals that Disney+ usually receives decent reviews across the board. For example, it has an average rating of 3.6/5 on consumeraffairs.com.
However, there are numerous 1-star reviews based on people not being happy with the platform’s library. There were also some concerns with its billing system, although most reviews mentioning this are from the first few months of the platform’s existence.
It also receives a relatively unimpressive rating of 3.1/5 on Facebook. But once again, it appears that most negative complaints are related to Disney+’s library being more suited to kids than adults—which is something we would expect anyway. It is Disney, after all.
Help and Support
Disney+ is backed by excellent customer service. Even non-subscribers can reach out to the support team via the 24/7 live chat and phone channels. Some users have reported long wait times and concerns about the helpfulness of the support agents, but we had nothing but a positive experience.
There’s also an excellent Help Center with loads of how-to articles and useful guides. These are very well written, and many come with built-in videos and screenshots for maximum usefulness.
What About the Disney+ App?
Disney+ is available on both Android and iOS devices. It’s free, and it receives excellent ratings on both platforms (4.3/5 and 4.4/5 respectively). The mobile apps both have the same functionality as the desktop app, enabling you to download, watch, and explore content from across the Disney+ library.
Bottom Line
Since its release in 2019, Disney+ has rapidly grown to become one of the world’s largest streaming platforms. It offers a wide selection of Disney movies and TV shows, along with Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, National Geographic, and various other titles.
It’s easy to use, very affordable, and comes with great mobile apps. However, it is worth noting that much of its content is targeted at children and families, and you won’t find a huge range of adult movies.
But overall, Disney+ is your one-stop shop for streaming content from the Disney universe, and we’d highly recommend it if you or your family are Disney fans.
