You’re mid-episode, fully absorbed in the story—and then an ad cuts in. Here’s what you can do about it.
Your Options for Skipping Disney Plus Ads
Option 1: Upgrade to an Ad-Free Plan
The most straightforward fix is upgrading to Disney+’s premium, ad-free subscription tier. Here is an overview of all Disney+ plans. You’ll pay more each month, but your movies and TV shows will play without interruption.
There’s a catch, though. Even on the ad-free plan, Disney+ still shows ads in ESPN content and specific channels. So if you watch live ESPN content or other live programming, ads may still appear—regardless of what you pay.
Option 2: Use an Ad Blocker
Ad blockers might seem like a quick fix, but they are not reliable for streaming platforms. Disney+ actively detects ad blockers, and using one can cause playback problems. Not exactly a relaxing viewing experience.
Option 3: Record Your Content with Audials and Cut the Ads
This is the most effective and flexible solution. Audials One lets you record Disney+ movies and TV shows directly—and then remove ads using its built-in video editor. Once recorded, the content is yours to keep and watch whenever you like, even if it’s later removed from Disney+.
