How to get Disney+ on my Samsung Smart TV
Disney+ has something for everyone in the family. From classic Disney movies to Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic, and Star Wars there is plenty to choose from. If you want to enjoy Disney +, your Samsung Smart TV is the best place to see it all. Follow the guide below to download and enjoy the Disney + app.

However, TV models that do not support the Disney+ app can use other compatible devices, including game consoles.
