It wouldn’t be wrong to state that Disney+ has succeeded amidst competitors such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Hulu, and Netflix. You can find tons of awesome original content. 

Aside from that, you can even watch movies and other content from powerhouses like Marvel Universe and the likes. Also, Disney Plus has channels such as National Geographic and Pixar. And, in case you’re a fan of Star Wars, you can enjoy the entire franchise on Disney+.

Moreover, if you’re a Firestick user, let us assure you that the installation process is simple. Plus, Alexa is entirely compatible with Disney+.

Thus, without further ado, let’s dive into our tutorial on how to install Disney+ on your Amazon Fire TV Stick.

Note: For Firestick 4K, Firestick Lite and Fire TV Cube users, the steps remain the same.

Streaming On Disney+

The streaming platform offers you tons of content. Think of anything that has Disney attached to it; yes, you’ll find that on Disney+. 

And that’s not all! You can even watch movies such as Captain Marvel and Avengers Endgame, among others.

What’s more? You can even stream The Trilogy and the rest of the Star Wars series. That includes Star Wars Resistance, Lego Star Wars: All-Stars, and The Mandalorian as well.

You would be ecstatic to know that you can even watch TV shows such as The Simpsons right on your Firestick devices. That’s thanks to the fact that Disney has acquired Fox.

Disney+: Subscriptions, Pricing, and Availability

Disney+ offers tons of offers through various subscription options to its users.

To take an example, consider the subscription Disney+ offers at $12.99 for one month. It includes ESPN+, ad-supported Hulu, and of course, Disney+.

Also, if you already have a subscription to Hulu, you can simply include Disney+ as an add-on. 

In comparison to subscription packs offered by HBO and Netflix, Disney+ offers are more affordable. Although, when compared with Apple TV+ subscriptions, it’s a bit costlier.

Once you’ve got a subscription to a Disney+ pack, you’ll be able to enjoy the following features:

  • In case you wish to watch the content offline, you can download it.
  • Disney+ is compatible with Dolby Vision and HDR 10.
  • The app supports max four simultaneous connections.
  • Disney+ also makes Dolby Atmos available.
  • It even supports 4K UHD.
  • The streaming platform has numerous originals and Disney content.

Canada, the Netherlands, and the US were among the first nations to host Disney+. Now, in 2021, Disney+ has expanded its services to a variety of other countries. That includes a few EU nations, the UK, India (through Hotstar), Puerto Rico, Australia, and New Zealand.

If you reside in the United States, the monthly subscription for Disney+ will cost you about $6.99. However, if you wish to save a few bucks, we suggest opting for the yearly subscription plan.

In total, you’ll be able to save $14 if you get the yearly plan. That will cost you about $69.99.

In contrast, the yearly subscription costs $89.99 in Canada. Also, the cost of a monthly pack is $8.99.

VPN Services and How They Help you Enjoy Disney+

You must be wondering why you need to make use of VPN services. The reasons are simple! Even though Disney+ is a legitimate streaming service, you remain vulnerable to hackers and other parties that steal users’ data.

Moreover, what might be available in other countries might be restricted in the country you reside in.

Thus, VPN services are highly efficient in overcoming such limitations. In our opinion, ExpressVPN is the best VPN for Firestick.

ExpressVPN Installation Process

Step 1: Firstly, you would require an ExpressVPN subscription.

Step 2: Head to Find and then select Search on your Firestick’s home screen.
