You can go through the following solutions to solve the issue of Disney Plus not working properly on Fire Stick.

#2 Hold down the "Center" button and the "Play" button on the Fire Stick remote for 15 seconds at the same time until the Fire Stick turns off and restarts.

>> Update the Disney Plus App

Using the latest version of the program is conducive to the normal operation of the program. To avoid missing out on the latest release, you can turn on auto-updates on your Fire Stick.

How to update the Disney Plus app: Find the Disney Plus app on the Fire Stick home screen > Press the "Menu" button on your Fire Stick TV remote > Click the "More Information" option in the list > Click on the "Update" icon if available.

How to turn on automatic updates: Tap on the "Settings" icon > Select the "Applications" box and then select the "Appstore" tab > Change the status of "Automatic Updates" to "On".

>> Update Your Fire Stick

Disney Plus does not work on older Fire Stick systems and only works on Fire TV sticks with an operating system of 5.0 or higher. If you are using an outdated version of Fire Stick firmware, it may cause problems with the Disney Plus app and other programs, so keep it updated.

Go to the "Settings" page and select the "My Fire TV" box > Choose "About" tab and select "Check for Updates" > Select "Install Update" option when an update is available.

>>Clear the Cache

When the cache data of Disney+ is corrupted, it can cause performance issues that can crash the application and render it unusable. It is beneficial to clear the cache to improve the performance of the Disney Plus app.

Navigate to "Settings" page and select "Application" box > Choose "Manage Installed Applications" tab and find Disney+ > Choose "Clear cache" and "Clear data" tabs.

>> Check Internet Connection

Video stuttering and buffering are prone to occur when the network condition is poor, which can lead to a less smooth viewing experience. Especially for higher definition videos, a certain internet speed is required, for example, Disney Plus recommends internet speeds of at least 25.0 Mbps when watching 4K videos.

You can check the network speed directly through the settings function of the device or through some network test websites, like speedof.me. Go to the "Settings" page and choose "Network" box > Select the Wi-Fi network you are using and click the "Advanced" button > Check "Signal strength" under the "Network Quality". If your Internet speed is low, you can restart your router or modem to reset the connection and increase the speed.
