Disney Plus Watchlist Recommendations for Families

Photo Credit: Disney Plus

For Christmas, my parents bought our family a full year’s subscription to Disney+. So far, we are loving it! The only problem we’ve run into is narrowing down what we want to watch next from the huge list of possibilities. Lucky for you, our family has created two Disney movie checklists to solve this problem, and we’re sharing them with you!

If you have Disney+ or are deciding whether or not to subscribe, we think you’ll find these lists useful. If you do, please make sure you save, Pin, and share with your friends.

Recommendations for Use

We recommend that you use these lists as a guide to help you decide which movies you’d like to watch next. The first list is for families with younger children, and the second list is for adults or families with older children. Of course you know your kids, what would hold their attention, and what you deem appropriate to watch in your household. Definitely read reviews and/or synopses and check ratings if you are concerned about a particular title.

Disney+ Watchlist

We also recommend that you add at least some of the titles to your Watchlist on your Disney+ account. In order to add a movie to your Disney+ Watchlist, just follow these 2 easy steps:

Search for the title and click “OK” to open it up on the full screen.
Arrow right to the + sign and click “OK” again. The + will turn into a checkmark indicating you’ve added the title to your Watchlist.

Your Watchlist, which is on the left sidebar menu, can hold an unlimited number of titles! Adding selections to the Watchilist is a great way to get back to something you were previously watching so you can start where you left off. By the way, to remove a selection from your Watchlist, just follow the same steps to turn the checkmark back into a +.

Ready for the lists? Here we go! Oh, and don’t forget to scroll to the end to get your free PDFs of these lists. 🙂
