Stop Disney+ from crashing on an Amazon Fire Stick

Updated on April 25, 2022

This guide will walk you through all of the best solutions for fixing the Disney Plus app on a Fire Stick. We'll cover problems such as media not playing as it should, the app crashing, and frequent streaming service connection bugs.

Why Is Disney Plus Not Working on My Fire Stick?

The most common reasons for the Disney Plus app not working on your Fire Stick involve issues with the streaming service itself, internet connection problems, or the Fire Stick needing a restart. There may also be problems with the Disney Plus app itself stopping the service from working as it should.

How to Fix Disney Plus Not Working on Your Fire Stick

Work through the fixes below in order, as they’re organized from fastest and easiest to more complex solutions.

1. Check if Disney Plus is down. The first thing you should try is a quick check to make sure the Disney Plus streaming service isn’t experiencing any issues. If it is, the best thing to do is to wait for it to come back online.
   

2. Does your Fire Stick support 4K playback? To view 4K content on Disney Plus, you’ll need to have a Fire Stick model that supports this feature. Not all Fire Sticks have 4K functionality.
   

3. Check the Disney Plus child settings. If you’re having trouble finding specific content on Disney Plus, you may be using a controlled profile that often hides mature or controversial films and TV episodes.
   

4. Log out of Disney Plus and log in again. Errors can often be fixed by logging out and then back in. Make sure you’re using the correct login details. Your Disney Plus account information is completely separate from your Amazon account. The email address and password may be completely different.
   

5. Check your internet connection. The easiest way to do this is to open another media streaming app on the Fire Stick such as YouTube or Netflix. Disney Plus needs an active connection to work.
   

6. Restart your internet router. If your internet is too slow to stream Disney Plus content, restarting your router or modem can often reset the connection and increase the speed.
   

7. Restart your Fire Stick. On your Fire Stick remote, press Select and Play until your streaming stick turns off and restarts. Once the process completes, try using Disney Plus again.
   

8. Update the Fire Stick itself and any installed apps. Your Fire Stick or Disney Plus app may need an important update to run properly.
   

9. Clear the cache on your Fire Stick. This process can make the Fire Stick and its apps run faster.
   

10. Delete other Fire Stick apps. If the Disney Plus app keeps crashing on your Amazon Fire Stick, try deleting other apps or files to free up space. Sometimes a lack of memory can cause Fire Stick apps to freeze, crash, or not run as smoothly as they otherwise would.
    

11. Uninstall Disney Plus and reinstall it. Removing the app from your Fire Stick and then downloading it again can fix problems caused by a corrupted app download.
    

    Deleting the app will not delete your Disney Plus account and associated preferences which are both securely stored in the cloud, but you will need to log in again.

12. Restore your Fire Stick to factory settings. If none of the above solutions got the Disney Plus Fire Stick app working properly, you may need to restore your Fire Stick to its original state. This will delete all content from the streaming stick and return it to the way you found it when you originally set it up.

Why Is My Disney Plus Not Loading Movies and Episodes When I'm Offline?
