How to unlock the whole Disney Plus catalog

Disney + is one of the few services of streaming video on demand, of undoubted success, which is an excellent alternative to Netflix (at least abroad, in the next few lines you will understand why).

There are already several million users in the regions where the service was launched (if you want to find more information, you can consult our in-depth analysis with all the information on Disney +).

After the launch in Italy and after trying the US version for a while I realized how poor the Italian Disney + catalog was. In this study, we will see how to get around the limitations and unlock the whole catalog.

The limitations of the Italian Disney + catalog

Nobody has ever really talked about it, but a bit like at the launch of Netflix, between the local and US catalog of Disney + there is a small abyss.

Some TV series have fewer episodes, and examples are the Simpsons or the Mandalorian (the episodes of the series in the Italian version are added weekly, while in the United States they are all available together), the latest Disney and Pixar films (Frozen 2 and Onward) they were just missing (found in this article all the main hit TV series on Disney +).

Gradually the situation of the Italian catalog has slightly improved (but not as regards the latest films), certainly due to previous license agreements, our catalog remains much poorer than the US counterpart.

At this point there are two alternatives: give up and wait for the contents of our interest to be published on Disney + Italian, or take advantage of one VPN to get around territorial limits and access the USA catalog.

Choice of VPN to view Disney + foreign catalog

Not all VPN services are suitable for viewing Disney + and allow you to circumvent territorial blocks effectively. Free VPN services, in general, are not, for the following reasons (also deriving from problems of economic sustainability):

• offer a low number of servers that are easily blocked by streaming services;
• limit the browsing speed to levels incompatible with streaming;
• alternatively, they limit the traffic exchanged to only 500 Mb, which with HD content is consumed quickly.

So here’s what a good VPN for Disney Plus should have:

• many servers located in the USA and UK, so that you can enjoy the extended catalog whenever you want;
• unlimited burst for each user (it would be ridiculous to have to stop watching a movie because the data bank is finished);
• no limitation on the network speed, so that it is possible to enjoy the contents in the highest quality without buffering (in the case of this platform up to 4K with HDR).

In general, it is always advisable to give it a try, most of the best-paid VPN services offer at least a week of withdrawal.

As far as browsing speed is concerned, the solutions we have reviewed and examined in detail (ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Surfshark, NordVPN, Private Internet Access) allow us to get closer to 50 Mb / s. It is an excellent speed, more than enough to enjoy Full HD or 4K videos without problems, shots, and downtime.
