What is Disney Plus, and how can I watch it?

Disney Plus (or Disney+) is Walt Disney’s own subscription and streaming on-demand service.

Disney has forever been a world leader in all manner of TV and movie production, but primarily Disney is synonymous with children’s and family viewing.

In a fairly recent deal, Disney took over 21st Century Fox, and their already incredibly broad range of viewing became even wider and more diverse.

There’s no shortage of wonderful things to watch on Disney Plus—favourites, old and new. Everything from the Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar franchises, to big-budget movies such as Frozen, Mulan, and Hamilton. Then there’s your kids’ daily intake of the Mandalorian, High School Musical (the series), Encore, and Diary of a Future President. If you’ve got kids—or you’re a big who never grew up yourself—you’ll know just how big a gap the world of Disney can fill.

But that’s not all. You’ll grab a good dose of documentaries, as Walt Disney owns the majority stake in National Geographic, providing more than 50 documentaries and docuseries available on a UK Disney+ subscription. There are masses of classic documentary shows ranging from as far back as the 1950s, right up to the here and now with ultra-accessible offerings featuring The World According to Jeff Goldblum, One Strange Rock, or Life Below Zero; a tiny handful of the most recent releases.

How can I watch Disney Plus with StreamLocator?

If you’re travelling, Disney+ allows its subscribers to download content to watch offline. However, if you try to access your UK account outside the EU, then you’ll be prevented from your usual access.

If you live in another country and would like to access Disney+ from outside the UK, StreamLocator provides the access you need to watch their mass of awesome content.

Our smart hub creates a virtual location in the United Kingdom; with that taken care of, you can sit back and enjoy whichever show that takes your fancy.

No complicated settings or software installation required

The real beauty of StreamLocator, unlike other geo-restricted content workarounds, is that there is so little to do to access the content you want. Our smart hub automatically connects you to the service you need, wherever it is, without you doing a thing.

There isn’t any software to install or an app to download. There are no settings to fiddle around with, in your DNS, and there certainly aren’t new profiles to integrate into each device or platforms’ systems.

The fact that our device is always turned on and ready for action means you don’t have to be—and working with your WiFi router, it automatically manages every one of your Internet-enabled devices. It doesn’t affect your download speeds, and it allows as many users to access as many different services in different countries as you want.

So, from now on, you’ll get automatic connection to overseas streams on your Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Apple and Android mobile phones and tablets, and your games consoles.

How to watch Disney Plus from outside the UK

Streaming service providers limit viewers to the catalogues of shows and movies licensed to their own country using a system called geo-blocking. Geolocation technology allows them to pinpoint precisely where their viewers are, and if they’re not in the correct region, the stream is blocked or rerouted to where they are.

VPN and Smart DNS services have been the most popular methods to get around these blocks, and now StreamLocator offers a unique new option with a range of excellent advantages.

How to register for Disney+ from outside the UK

Disney makes additional checks that their viewers are where they need them to be to subscribe to their service, so paying with a credit or debit card that isn’t native to the country can occasionally create an issue.

But don’t worry! There is a super simple and straightforward workaround to sign up for Disney+. The easiest way to pay for your access is with StatesCard!

It's a virtual prepaid card that works with all US services and comes with a US billing address. It's as simple as paying with any card out there!

Simply switch your Disney+ relocation to the US to create the account and purchase the subscription, then switch back to the UK and login with your credentials. Your account will work in every Disney+ region StreamLocator supports!

Do you need a VPN or DNS to watch Disney+ from outside the UK?

VPN and Smart DNS have long been the accepted way to navigate the location blocks set in place by the many content providers, but there are other ways to get around the problem.

If you’re accessing your favorite channels on the move, these services are good options, especially VPN with its additional security.

However, if you do most of your viewing from home, StreamLocator is by far your best option. Our smart hub creates a virtual UK location for every device in your household, accessing Disney+ on any device using your home Internet connection.

As soon as you connect to your chosen service—Disney Plus in this case—our smart hub communicates with their servers to find out the best way to connect you—and does it! You don’t even have to choose a country; everything happens automatically.

How to unblock Disney Plus

When you receive your StreamLocator smart hub, connection is easy.

Plug it into any open port of your home WiFi router, follow a few simple steps to activate your new account, and leave the rest to us.

You’ll find a new STREAMLOCATOR option in your WiFi networks. All you have to do is switch your Smart TVs, viewing boxes, computers or devices over to that, and everything else is done without you knowing it’s happening.

Does StreamLocator allow me to watch Disney Plus for free?

Disney+ is a paid subscription service, and that’s the way it will stay—whether you use StreamLocator, a VPN, or Smart DNS to watch it.
