How to get Disney Plus on any TV

Disney Plus streaming has become very popular, especially if you have kids. And why not. Having the entire Disney catalogue in one spot is not only convenient but also one of the only ways to get certain specials and new releases.

There are many options available to you on Disney+. No matter what your interests are, you can find it! You can see a shark show on National Geographic or enjoy one of the Star Wars movies or mini-series.

Of course you can also find a Pixar favorite like Toy Story or the old Disney classics. It’s really wonderful to have the Disney Plus content in your home.

Whether you have a brand new state of the art smart tv or an old tv that needs a streaming device, we will do our best to help you get up and running.

First Thing To Know

Before you do anything, sign up for the Disney Plus Subscription by downloading the app from https://www.disneyplus.com/welcome/stream-now on your smartphone, computer or tablet.

It is much easier to fill in information on your device rather than using your tv remote. After you fill out the subscriber agreement you can head over to your TV or device to start loading up Disney Plus.
