What happens if I try to watch Disney Overseas?
When attempting to watch Disney channel abroad, you’ll either be redirected to the local Disney website, or the app will show an error saying that you seem to be accessing the content overseas.
A VPN makes it appear that you’re in the US, which allows full access to all programs.
You simply need to:
- Sign-up with a VPN provider (ExpressVPN is our preferred choice),
- Download the Express VPN app
- Select a USA server
- Press Connect
- Open the Disney app and watch your favorite episodes
