The news is very exciting for Disney fans who were concerned they would have to purchase new devices to use Disney+, but now we know that the new streaming service will be available to use on launch day, November 12th, with Amazon Fire TV.
Due to advertising disagreements between Disney and Amazon on Disney run networks (ABC, Freeform, etc), it was previously believed Disney+ would not be available to use on Amazon products, but a new agreement has changed their tune and the streaming competitors were able to find mutually agreeable terms that opened up the opportunity for Disney+ to become available on Amazon Fire TV devices.
The Disney+ app on Amazon’s Fire TV will also allow users to utilize Alexa when searching and streaming. With the simple command “Alexa, play the Mandalorian.” Alexa will be able to access the title inside the app making streaming so easy, you may not even need to use your remote!
