Are you going to be subscribing to Disney+?
it’s 4 AM Puerto Rico time and it’s gonna take a while, apparently.
8am, PR time
6:28 am in Puerto Rico and still no Disney+
did you get disney plus yet? i live in the us virgin islands and its still unavailable.
Not available in the US virgin islands yet, but my friend who also lives here is able to use it somehow? Why does everyone ignore the virgin islands 🙁
I think we’ll have to buy a Roku to be able to watch it in the VI. I just love it when they say “it’s not available in your country”. SMFH!!
I have a Roku and live in the USVI, and it still says not available in your country. I chatted with them today and they said it will “eventually” be available, but they don’t have a set time frame. BLAH!
Does anyone know when Disney plus will come to the USVI? I called the Disney plus costumer service and was on hold for 1 1/2 hours before the guy on the phone said “I don’t know”. “Is that really part of the US?” He then said he could not find any information about the Virgin Islands. So has anyone here heard anything?
The U.S. Virgin Islands needs Disney plus. When will it be available?
When will Disney+ be available in USVi? Please????
When will Disney plus be available in the USVI? We have watched for weeks on ABC that Hamilton will be streamed on Disney Plus exclusively. It’s really disappointing!
This!!! It’s really annoying.
I asked about Disney + for the U.S. Virgin Islands and no answer. One would think they would get on it being Disney is closed due to Covid and would work on expanding existing avenues of income. This is internet based, what could possibly be the holdup.
Disney needs to make sure whatever is available to the states is available to all its territories too.
I also live in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I would like to know when it will be available here too! Yes we are the “United States Virgin Islands” territory of the United States of America. Please include us, like you did Puerto Rico, they also are a territory of the United States of America. WE ARE AMERICANS TOO!
Do I need to call Beyonce & Jayz to let them know that you guys have not made Disney Plus available in the United States Virgin Islands, territory of the United States of America????
Here’s how to watch Disney + in the USVI:
Turn off your Wifi and subscribe to it on your phone using AT&T. Or login to it using credentials that was setup in the mainland. It should work because At&t is based in US and PR (Disney + works in PR)
You can then use chromecast or some other casting device to stream it to your smart Tv
I also live in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I would like to know when it will be available here too! Yes we are the “United States Virgin Islands” territory of the United States of America. Please include us, like you did Puerto Rico, they also have a territory status. WE ARE US CITIZENS TOO!
