Even better, Disney+ is affordable, at only $9.99/month. Users also get a free 7-day trial, so you can test it out and binge some content without paying a dime.
If you do decide to sign up, you’ll notice that the streaming experience is seamless, without major buffering issues or technical problems. Even better, Disney+ is compatible with plenty of devices, so you can watch your favourite content on small or large screens, at home or on the go.
Of course, you can access Disney+ via web browsers on PCs/Macs, but there are plenty more ways to watch. Here’s the complete list to get you started:
Amazon Fire TV Stick
The Amazon Fire TV Stick is compatible with Disney+ and is very similar to Chromecast, allowing users to wirelessly stream content from mobile devices to your TV. However, it also lets you install apps like Disney+ so you can watch without your mobile device.
Type Disney+ into the search bar on your Fire TV Stick home screen, install it and log in with your Disney+ credentials. Here’s more info on how to watch Disney+ on the big screen without a smart TV.
Google Chromecast
Chromecast is affordable and user-friendly, making it a fine choice for plenty of users who don’t have a smart TV, but still want to enjoy content on the big screen.
All you need to do is have your device up and running by connecting it to your TV, then cast content from Disney+ to the TV using your smartphone as a remote. Here’s a step-by-step guide that should come in handy.
