How to Watch Disney+ Anywhere

It’s a streaming battle, royale, everybody. Dubbed as the future of the company, Disney+ is making its way to the streaming industry on November 12th, 2019. Remember when all the Defenders’ shows died in the last years? Yeah, that’s Disney preparing us for an OTT war next year. No more Disney on Netflix, if that’s what you’re asking. Still scratching your head wondering what it’ll be like and where would it be available? Don’t worry. Here’s everything you need to know about Disney+ and how you can get its Disney-fied glory all around the world.

What is Disney Plus

Disney+ is well, you guessed it, is Disney’s upcoming streaming service that’s threatening the OTT market. As the name suggests, it will be the exclusive home to the company’s top movies, shows, cartoons, and of course, Pixar movies. Let’s talk about how Disney is growing to be one of the biggest TV companies in the world.

First, in August 2016, Disney acquired a controlling stake in BAMTech for $1.58 billion, increasing its stake to 75%. It turned out to be just a start in Disney’s plan to control the media.

One year later, the company started plotting to get 21st Century Fox. And guess what? In March 2019, it did. So, expect an X-Men vs. Avengers movie anytime soon. One more thing that I should get out of my chest; we finally might get an actual good Fantastic Four movie.

Is it Available Everywhere?

Unfortunately, no. Disney+ will be available in select countries between 2019 and 2020. This means that it won’t be accessible in others. Alright, so Disney+ will be rivaling Netflix and Hulu, but technically, they’re not that different.

All these streaming services use geo-blocking as a method to restrict or limit the access of specified content based on your geographic location. This mechanism relies on your IP address to determine your location. If you live overseas, you’ll have a different IP address from the one Disney+ requires.

Is There Any Solution?

Yes, don’t worry. It doesn’t matter where Disney+ is available; you’ll be able to access its top shows and movies no matter where you are on the map. As I mentioned, streaming services rely on your IP address to pinpoint your location. But that doesn’t have to be the case if you’re using a Virtual Private Network.

A VPN is an internet security tool that redirects your internet traffic through a server in a country of your choosing. Once you’re connected, your data will appear to be coming from the server’s location. Thus, you’ll be qualified as a current resident (virtually speaking). You then obtain an IP address in the region where the server is based.

As a result, whatever service restricted to that territory will think that you’re within its broadcasting area, granting you full access in the process. It’s quite a simple task, actually. Here’s what you need to do:

1. As a start, subscribe to VPN service that has servers in the countries where Disney+ is launching. As your guide, I recommend NordVPN.
2. Next, head over to your App Store and download their dedicated VPN client.
3. Now, sign in with your VPN credentials and navigate to the server list.
4. Your best option would be an American server. Click on that and hit connect.
5. Wait a few seconds for the connection to take place.
6. Launch Disney+.
7. Enjoy a vast catalog of the best Disney originals, movies, and TV shows anywhere.

In case NordVPN isn’t your cup of tea, here are our other recommendations:
