Yes, Disney+ allows you to download movies and TV shows for offline viewing! I know how frustrating it can be when you want to watch your favorite content without an internet connection. Whether you’re planning a long flight, going camping, or just want to save some mobile data, I’ll show you everything you need to know about downloading from Disney+.

How Much Storage Space Do Downloads Need?
The storage space required for Disney+ downloads varies significantly depending on the content length and quality settings. From my experience, a typical 2-hour movie in standard quality uses approximately 0.5 to 1 GB of storage space, while the same movie in high quality may require 1.5 to 2.5 GB. For TV shows, a 30-minute episode usually needs 150-300 MB in standard quality and 400-600 MB in high quality. Remember that these are approximate values, and actual sizes may vary based on the specific content and your device settings.
Download Limits and Restrictions
Disney+ implements certain limitations to ensure fair usage of the download feature. You can download content on up to 10 different devices with a single account. However, there’s no strict limit on how many titles you can download – it mainly depends on your device’s available storage space. Downloads remain available for 30 days after downloading, but once you start watching a downloaded title, you typically have 48 hours to finish it before it expires. If a title leaves Disney+, your download will also expire, regardless of when you downloaded it.
How to Download Content from Disney+
Downloading content from Disney+ is straightforward. First, ensure you have the latest version of the Disney+ app installed on your device. Look for the download icon (usually a downward-pointing arrow) on the title’s details page or episode list. Click this icon to start the download. You can find all your downloaded content in the “Downloads” section of the app. To manage download quality, go to your app settings and select your preferred download quality – higher quality uses more storage space but provides better video quality.
Compatible Devices for Downloads
You can download Disney+ content on various devices, but there are some limitations. The download feature works on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) running iOS or Android through the official Disney+ app. Most tablets, including iPads and Android tablets, support downloads as well. However, you cannot download content on desktop computers, gaming consoles, or smart TVs – even if they have the Disney+ app installed. Make sure your device has enough storage space before starting any downloads.
Tips for Managing Downloads
To make the most of the download feature, I recommend downloading content while connected to Wi-Fi to avoid excessive mobile data usage. Keep track of your downloaded content’s expiration dates through the Downloads section of the app. If you’re running low on storage space, consider downloading in standard quality instead of high quality. You can also automatically download the next episode of a series you’re watching by enabling auto-downloads in the app settings. Remember to delete downloads you’ve already watched to free up space for new content.
