Disney+ has been an awesome thing to have in our lives right now. I have more free time to watch things, and there’s more content than ever I’m interested in! I’ve spent a lot of hours invested in some of the Disney documentaries and behind the scenes shows, but I’ve also really been enjoying many of their original TV shows. And of course watching plenty of favorite Disney films!
When I first started this blog post I was aiming for a list of 50. But as I kept exploring Disney+ and watching more and discovering more, I realized it had to be longer. So you get 100 things that are definitely worth checking out on Disney+! I’ve broken them down into categories so you can find a genre or topic that interests you and go from there.

Have you been watching anything good on Disney+? Which of these shows or movies would you most like to check out?
We have Disney+ and I have not capitalized on all of these! I had no idea that Hamilton was coming- so fun!
I don’t think we have Disney+, but there are several things I’d like to see on it. I think my husband would enjoy all the behind the scenes and history shows.
We’ve found so much to watch besides just the Disney movies, it’s been so fun!
I love the classic Disney movies especially! Don’t have Disney+ unfortunately, but maybe I should get it 🙂
I recommend it, there’s lots of great content!
I can’t get over how many amazing options are on Disney+! My husband and I have been binging The Clone Wars. We did all of The Mandalorian, then all the Star Wars prequels, and now The Clone Wars! It’s been so fun to get a Stars Wars education. And when he’s not watching with me, I’m binging all the old Disney Channel stuff!
I’m pretty sure I need to get Disney+ just for all these awesome shows! SMART GUY I totally loved that one.
So many great offerings! Disney + has been a lifesaver lately.
It’s definitely kept us entertained!
I can’t wait to see Hamilton!
