Who Messed With the TV?! A Simple Answer For Why Your Disney+ Might No Longer Be Working!

You know how it goes…you finally get home after a long day, take off your shoes, and plop down on the couch to do a little Disney+ bingeing only to find out your TV isn’t working!

There go all of your best-laid plans! But believe it or not, several Disney+ subscribers are having this problem — and they’ve all got ONE thing in common. Here’s a hint: it’s NOT spotty wi-fi!

As first reported by Distractify.com for some mysterious reason (which our technologically-challenged brains will probably never understand) Disney+ is not working on some Samsung TV models — specifically ones from 2016!

Muppets Now Coming Soon to Disney Plus

Disney is currently working with Samsung to resolve the manufacturing issue, but if you’ve encountered this problem there are a few steps to try first before throwing in towel. When it doubt, ALWAYS turn your device on and off! Try restarting your TV and the Disney+ app — if this still doesn’t fix it, you can also uninstall and re-install the Disney+ app.

Wanna watch The Muppets? Find out more about their new Disney Plus show here!

Still not working? Well like we said — Disney hopes to have this problem resolved soon, so in the meantime, you can stream Disney+ on your other electronic devices! We’ll follow this story and provide you with further updates!

Check out our list of what you should watch on Disney+ if you’re missing the parks here!

Disneyland sends out survey over masks and temp checks

disneyland

The Orange County Register is reporting that Disneyland is sending annual passholders a survey about protective face masks, temperature checks at park entrances, and pre-arrival health questionnaires.

This survey asks for feedback on how likely passholders would be to visit the Disneyland Resort if certain health and safety measures were implemented. One series of questions focused on three potential reopening options with regards to masks, temperature checks, and health questionnaires.

In all three scenarios, operational changes at the parks included: Reduced attendance, social distancing, enhanced cleaning protocols and COVID-19 employee training.

Option 1 presented a scenario in which visitors were encouraged but not required to wear face masks. Option 2 required masks for visitors ages 3 years and over as well as temperature screenings before entering the park. Option 3 was identical to the second option, except the mask age was boosted to 10 years and over.

All three options included pre-arrival COVID-19 health questionnaires for visitors.

The Disneyland Resort remains closed and there’s no update on when they might submit reopening plans. California theme parks can reopen during California’s stage 3 of reopening and the governor says that could be as early as this month.
