With all the staying at home, you’ve probably gotten through a lot more of Disney+’s extensive content library than you thought you would.
So what happens when you’ve watched all of our “What to Watch” guides for the month, but you’re still needing a Disney movie or tv fix? What happens when you’ve seen everything? You’ve probably noticed that, though there are a billion choices on Disney+, not every Disney property is on there. There are movies, tv shows, even individual episodes of otherwise featured shows, that are missing from the streaming site. So what’s a fan with some time on their hands to do?
Request it!
Subscribers to Disney+ can request TV shows and movies to be added to the streamer. The trick is knowing how.
Which, before we get into the step by step, let’s double check to make sure the things you want aren’t already on the site. After all, just because it doesn’t show up on your homepage doesn’t mean it’s not there. There are a few quick ways you can check to see if Disney+ has what you need.
- Do a search on the your favorite search engine. I typed “Gummi Bears” and “Disney+” into Google, and my first hit was this.
I clicked on it, and was prompted to sign in, and voila! All six seasons of The Adventures of the Gummi Bears.
PS: did y’all know there were SIX seasons of this show? What a time to be alive. Gummi beaaaaaaaaars, bouncing here and there and everywhereeeeee.
- Search in Disney+. This is very easy. Go to search in the tool bar and type in what you’re looking for.
Now sometimes we’ll have a property that is not currently available on Disney+, but is coming.
In these instances, like with Into the Woods, Disney+ will show you when the movie or show is coming. In this case, December 24th, 2020. Can’t wait. Into the woods it’s time to go, I hate to wait, I have to though/ Into the woods each time you go you have to take the journeeeee.
Once you’ve determined that what you want to watch is not currently on Disney+ and not on its way, you are good to go on requests!
Let’s say I want to watch’s 2007’s Enchanted. (And I do. I always do. I’ve been dreaming of a true love’s kiiiiiiiiiisss.) It is not currently on Disney+. Curses, foiled!
I log into Disney+ and then I click on the drop down menu with my icon. I then click “Help.”
At the top of the page, under the search bar, you’ll see the option “Give Feedback.” Click on that.
A pop up will tell you “Please give us feedback on Disney+.”
In the drop down menu, select “Request a Film or Show.”
You’ll be prompted to list your suggestion. And because Disney+ knows we need as much Disney content as possible, you can suggest up to three titles at once.
Disney+ will then tell you thank you and you can get on with your day. Or go get your blu-ray of Enchanted and watch that.
