Disney + has also arrived in Italy. Since March 24, 2020, the video streaming platform is open to all: just register, choose the type of subscription (monthly or annual) and access to over 1000 content present at the debut. Among movies, TV series, children’s content and National Geographic documentaries, there is a lot to choose from.
Disney + is a video streaming platform and it works very similar to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video: you pay a subscription (monthly or yearly) and you have access to the entire catalog of content. The platform allows you to create up to 7 different profiles, register up to a maximum of 10 devices and use four devices simultaneously. Disney + is compatible with most devices on the market: computers, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and consoles. Here’s everything you need to know about Disney +, the video on demand service ready to challenge Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
Disney + catalog: more than 1000 titles available
Disney + offers a vast catalog designed for adults and children. There are more than 1000 contents signed by the brands of the group: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm (Star Wars) and National Geographic. In addition to the titles already known, there are many new proposals, such as the series The Mandalorian inspired by Star Wars. There will be 25 original TV series, alongside which there will be more than 500 films.
The most anticipated series include High School Musical: The Musical or the exclusive Diary of A Future President. In addition, it will be possible to enjoy all the episodes of The Simpsons.
Of course, there will be cult titles that have made the history of cinema, such as Toy Story, Frozen, Oceania or The Incredibles. In short, there are many contents signed Disney and Pixar. In addition, it will be possible to enjoy blockbuster films such as Avatar and The Avengers: Endgame.
Young children will also be able to get attached to new characters and learn in a fun way. For example, one of the most anticipated children’s series features the adventures of Forky, a character from the Toy Story franchise. Marvel superhero lovers will be able to enjoy all the films and spin-offs produced by the brand and relive the adventures of Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Panther and all the others.
There will also be reinterpretations of the great classics such as the film of Lady and the Tramp. Finally, ample space will be given to documentaries: in addition to the content proposed by National Geographic, there are also original ones proposed by the company. One of those immediately available is “A Day in Disney”. In short, the catalog is really rich.
How much does Disney + cost: the price
Until March 23, it was possible to buy an annual subscription for 59.99 euros. From March 24, however, you can buy the annual package spending 69.99 euros. Alternatively, you can choose the subscription from 6.99 euros per month.
The rate allows you to watch all the content of the platform without interruption of advertising on up to 4 screens simultaneously.
How to create a profile on Disney +
Subscribed you go to the creation of profiles. Once logged in to Disney +, the administrator has the possibility to create up to 7 profiles (assigning to each one a different image) by clicking on the “Add Profile” button. Each profile will have access to the entire Disney + catalog without any limitation.
Limitations that, however, exist for the number of devices that can be registered. The maximum is 10 and in order to remove one you must write to Disney + Customer Service, as there is no feature to do so from Settings. In addition, the maximum number of devices supported at the same time is four.
How Disney + works
The operation of the platform is very similar to that of Netflix and related. To access the platform and watch content, first of all you need to sign up for the service and subscribe. To do so, just access the official website and sign up. The system asks you to enter an email address to which the activation confirmation should be sent. After reading and authorizing the terms and conditions of the service, you choose the password.
To finish, you need to pay the subscription. Then, using the credentials you can log in to the platform. The main screen shows the different profiles associated with the account: just select the personal one to access the catalog and start watching content.
The interface is very easy to use. The structure is similar to that of Netflix: there are no channels to watch live, only content types to choose from. The only thing more than Disney + is the possibility to choose between five different sub-sections: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic.
How to watch it: available devices
Disney + is compatible with a wide range of devices: from smart TV, to tablets and smartphones. You will also be able to watch in 4K with screens equipped with this resolution and thanks to a fast connection.
To use Disney + from a smartphone or tablet just download the app, which is available for both Android, iOS or Amazon Fire Tablet. If, on the other hand, you have a desktop or laptop computer, you can access the platform through your browser. You can also take advantage of consoles such as the latest models of PlayStation or Xbox One.
The company has also released the app for Android TV, so all smart TVs that use this system can access Disney +. In addition, the app is also available for LG smart TVs with webOS and Samsung Tizen TVs, only for models from 2016 onwards. Compatibility also with Apple TV (fourth generation and later) and Apple AirPlay.
Finally, those who do not have a smart TV can still connect their device to a compatible streaming device, such as a Chromecast. In short, watching content will certainly not be a problem: the devices that support it are really many.
