What does Disney Plus include?

Since launching in 2019, Disney Plus has opened the door to thousands of family-friendly programs, including virtually all past Disney and Pixar movies. Disney also promises all of its films will be added to Disney Plus within a year of theatrical release. Other content includes Marvel and Lucasfilm movies—some of which are not available on any other streaming service—and more than 7,000 episodes of TV shows, mostly coming from the Disney cable channels. There is also plenty of original content to come, including an animated Marvel series.

Watch ESPN+ and Hulu with the Disney Plus bundle package

For an added cost to U.S. subscribers, a bundled subscription is available that includes Disney Plus, ESPN+, and Hulu.

Hulu offers popular TV shows from local U.S. networks and cable channels, as well as original programming. The streaming service is notable for carrying TV episodes just days after they’ve aired. Plenty of movies are also available. The version of Hulu that’s part of the Disney Plus bundle package is the basic plan, which includes commercials.

ESPN+ offers a range of sports programming, some of it not available on the ESPN cable channels. Whether you’re a fan of American football, baseball, basketball, tennis, or college sports, ESPN+ has games you’d want to watch.

FAQ: How to watch Disney Plus with a VPN

Does Disney Plus work with a VPN?

ExpressVPN’s ultra-fast network is optimized to work seamlessly with Disney Plus and other streaming services, so you can watch all the TV and movies you want without compromising your own privacy and security.

ExpressVPN also bypasses any restrictions on Disney Plus set by your school or public Wi-Fi network, and defeats ISP throttling that may be slowing down your connection.

Does a VPN let me watch Disney Plus for free?

No. You’ll need to sign up for a Disney Plus subscription, if you haven’t already.

ExpressVPN complements your Disney Plus subscription to allow you to watch all the content you want, free from ISP throttling.

Is Disney Plus available outside the U.S.?

In addition to the U.S. and Puerto Rico, Disney Plus initially launched in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, India, and the UK. It is in even more countries today, and it’s expected to eventually be available everywhere.

Why isn’t Disney Plus working with my VPN?

Disney Plus works best when you connect through the server location geographically closest to you. For instance, if you are in the U.S., use the closest U.S. server location to access Disney Plus.

If you encounter difficulty accessing any specific service while using ExpressVPN, please contact Support.

On what devices can I watch Disney Plus with ExpressVPN?

Will using Disney Plus and a VPN slow my connection?

All VPN services add a layer of encryption that has the potential to slow down your connection. ExpressVPN, however, has an extremely fast, constantly optimized network, so you probably won’t notice a difference.

If your ISP has been known to throttle streaming services, using a VPN to watch Disney Plus may actually speed up your connection.

Can I use a free proxy with Disney Plus?

Free proxy services are not recommended for use with Disney Plus. Free services do not offer the same privacy and security benefits of paid VPN. Many do not work as advertised, and some may even sell your data.

What else can I do with ExpressVPN?

ExpressVPN also works with other streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and BBC iPlayer. It’s also the fastest, easiest way to browse the internet privately and securely.

ExpressVPN is a VPN service not intended to be used as a means of copyright circumvention. Please read the ExpressVPN Terms of Service and Disney Plus Terms of Use for more details.
