Disney+ Not Working On Amazon Firestick: I Fixed It in 30 Seconds

Is your Disney Plus not Working on Amazon Firestick?

Here are some common issues that can cause Disney+ not to work on your Amazon Firestick including the possible solutions.

• No Internet Connection: Make sure your firestick is connected to the Wi-Fi network and your internet is strong and stable. You can check the status of your internet by connecting to the same network on your cell phone and performing a speed test. If the internet seems fine, then check the Wi-Fi network in the Firestick settings by pressing the “Setting” button on the remote. Navigate to the Network using Remote Buttons (as shown below) and select your Wi-Fi and enter the password to connect.

• Incorrect date & time: The incorrect date & time can also cause Disney+ App not to work due to certificate verification that every website does for encryption purposes. Check the date, time, and time zone in your Firestick setting and correct it to fix this issue. To do this, go to settings from Home Screen then select Preferences, scroll down to Time zone, and select the correct Time zone as appropriate. See the screenshot below.

• Outdated App: If your Disney+ App installed on the Firestick is outdated then streaming won’t work properly. To update your Disney+ App, go to the App Store on your Firestick, search for the Disney Plus app, and check for any updates. If there is an update available, download and install it. See the screenshot below, for example, to use this option on Disney+ App.

• Insufficient storage: Like every other app, Disney+ also requires some free space to work correctly, if your firestick does not have sufficient storage then the app won’t work correctly. To solve this, delete any unnecessary files or apps from your Firestick to free up storage space.
• Cache and data issues: If the cache and data of the Disney Plus app on your Firestick are corrupt, it may cause the app to not work properly. Solution: Go to the Firestick’s Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Disney Plus > Clear Cache and Clear Data.

• Unsupported Firestick version: If your Firestick device is not running a supported version of the Fire OS, the Disney Plus app may not work. This can happen when the App was installed using APK or has come preinstalled. To check the supported device list, click here (hyperlink to the supported device list in this article) to see if your Firestick device is compatible.
• Unsupported region: One of the most discussed causes is that you are accessing Disney+ from an unsupported region. Disney+ won’t work outside the United States, Canada, Australia, and several countries in Europe (See the full list here) and you will see endless loading or Not available screens as shown below. To solve this issue, you need to buy or use a VPN Service to access Disney+ from anywhere in the world. Refer to the Disney Plus VPN article.

• Disney Server is Down: It is very unlikely to happen but once in a blue moon it can happen where you can just try again accessing Disney+ after some time. You might see the following screen on your TV.

I Want To Access Disney Plus Outside The US, But How?

To access Disney+ outside of the US, you can use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN allows you to change your virtual location to appear as if you are located in the US (or any other country), thereby allowing you to access US-restricted content. Here are the steps to access Disney+ outside of the US using a VPN:

• Choose a VPN provider: We recommend you use Express VPN for the best performance on Disney+.
• Go to the Express VPN website and sign up for a subscription (if not already have one). See the latest plan below.

• Download and install the Express VPN app on your Firestick via Amazon App-store
• Launch the Express VPN app and select a US-based server to connect to.
• Open the Disney+ app or go to the Disney+ website and start streaming content.
• With a US-based server connected, you should now be able to access Disney+ content as if you were located in the US.

Note: Keep in mind that using a VPN to unblock content that is restricted in your region may violate the terms of service of the content provider and could result in your account being suspended.
