How to download Disney+ shows and movies for offline viewing
Disney+ is proving the runaway success we though it will be, and not only because of the free offer with Verizon's unlimited plans. Its eclectic roster of Star Wars franchises, Disney movies, and old-time favorites, has been gobbled up by more than ten million subscribers less than a week after its launch.

The Disney+ app release was so popular to the extent that it had to add server capacity to keep up with the streaming demand. 

What's the best thing you can do to beat those early streaming hiccups? Why, download the shows for offline viewing, of course! Here's what you need to do:

Download Disney+ shows and movies for offline viewing


1. Download the Disney+ Android or iOS app on your phone or tablet;

2. Log in with your account credentials;

3. If you are on the go, make sure you turn off the "Download over Wi-fi only" option in the Settings section. Here, you can also choose the quality for faster and more data-frugal downloads;

3. Pick an episode, season or a movie, and tap on the down "download" arrow.

4. The progress, finished, and expired downloads are all in the app section denoted with... you guessed it... a down arrow, so you can monitor, watch, remove the downloads from there.

As to what can you find to download, here's a full list of what's available on Disney+ a brief few days after its inception (looking at you, $4.99 Apple TV+, against the $6.99 Disney+!)
