You Can Bundle With Hulu,ESPN+, And HBO Max
Disney's decision to launch Disney+ and ESPN+ when the company already had a stake in one of the premier platforms (Hulu) was a little hard to take initially, but everything started to make sense once the media giant announced that it could better serve consumers by splitting up the three options. Fans of all three streaming platforms, however, aren't out of luck as there is a bundle that includes Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu all for one low price.

Download Movies And TV Shows For Offline Viewing
Anyone with kids knows that sometimes you need to just load up your phone or tablet with hours of children's programs to get through long road trips or extended periods of time without the most reliable internet service. Don't worry, you can download a large portion of the Disney+ library on your mobile devices for offline viewing.
To do this, simply go to whichever movie or show you want to watch later and then click on the download button. After the download is completed, the title will pop up in the download section on the phone or tablet version of the streaming service.
Disney+ Has Multiple Live Streams
Don’t have it in you to pick something from Disney+’s massive library of movies, shows, documentaries, and other specials? Well, the platform’s live stream feature may come in handy when you’re feeling a little overwhelmed or indecisive.
With channels like “Homerpolooza” playing an endless loop of the best episodes of The Simpsons, Disney+ Playtime showcasing children’s programming like Bluey, Mickey’s Playhouse, and Spidey and His Amazing Friends, and the Throwbacks channel playing some Disney Channel favorites, there’s something for everyone. Oh, and don’t forget the Outdoor Adventure and ABC News feeds, especially if you need an animation break.
Explore Different Franchise Collections In The Search Menu
One of the best features of Disney+ is the sheer volume of content that is available for streaming. Never in my life did I think I would be able to watch all the Star Wars movies and shows in order without having to buy all those DVDs and Blu-rays.
There are two ways of exploring the content from the likes of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic titles on the service. First, you can click on the individual collections on the Disney+ front page. Then there's the option to explore different collections based on specific franchises. This includes everything from a Toy Story collection to the Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and everything in between. This is always a good way to find some of the hidden gems on the service, of which there are a lot!
Disney+ Has IMAX-Enhanced Versions Of Select Movies
If you missed a movie like Captain America: Brave New World in theaters but still want to replicate the big-screen experience, Disney+ is going to be the place to go. Not only is the surprisingly great Marvel movie streaming right now, but there’s also an IMAX-enhanced version of it available with a subscription. But wait, what does IMAX-enhanced mean?
Basically, certain movies on Disney+ have been expanded to a 1.90:1 ratio, which is the one used in major IMAX releases. Now, it won’t fully replicate the experience, but you can get pretty dang close if you have a massive TV as part of your home theater setup.
Check out the IMAX-Enhanced titles.
Disney+ Offers Parental Controls
Parental controls have always been a part of Disney+, and in March 2022, the platform introduced another layer of protection for younger viewers along with the arrival of the Netflix Marvel series like Daredevil, which remain TV-MA and are not edited or toned down in any way. These settings allow the account holder to select content ratings restrictions when creating a profile for their kids or other minors in their house. With Disney+ including so many more mature titles from Hulu, this is an extra level of protection parents will surely enjoy (at least a lot more than their kids).
Disney+ Offers All Kinds Of Accessibility Features
It’s not rare to see accessibility features on streaming services today, but Disney+ goes above and beyond in this category. With audio description tools, closed captioning and subtitles in a number of languages, color contrast functionality, text-to-speech, and various others, streaming content on Disney+ is a great option for people with disabilities.
What’s really cool is that Disney+ is open to adding more accessibility features in the future. If there’s something you want to add, just click on the “Give Feedback” button at the bottom of the app’s help center.
Request Movies And Shows Missing From The Collection
Ever run into the issue where your favorite Disney movie or series isn't available to stream on Disney+? Fear not, as you can simply request a film or show by going to the help settings, where you'll click on the feedback tab. When asked "What would you like to do?" simply click on the "Request a film or show" dropdown menu and add up to three suggestions.
How To Cancel Your Disney+ Subscription
