You will not get the app on the Apple TV 3rd gen. The work around is by using an IPhone or IPad. On your IPhone or IPad download the Disney plus app and login in. Once logged in select a video to watch and play it on your iPhone or iPad. Once the video starts playing there will be an Apple Air Play button on the video window. Select the Apple Air button and a list of near by devices will pop up, select Apply TV. After you select the Apple TV under Air Play the video will begin to play from the device to the tv. Does that information help or would you like picture on how to perform this?

The Disney+ Content isn't obvious like other channels

Its interspersed and almost hidden you have to look


But, Select Movies and /or TV Shows

and the Disney + Content is available down below in the selections

Content that would not be there without Disney +


Note: I am having trouble finding "Mandalorian" but other Disney + Choices are definitely there

Including DC / Marvel / Star Wars / Star Trek

I am very disappointed disney plus does not work on Apple TV gen 3. Why do I feel I am yet again being nickel and dimed by Apple? I’m sure they could figure out how to add the app (they have added other apps in updates), but suspect they might be choosing not to in order to get people to upgrade their Apple TV. Maybe I’m wrong, but Apple seems to do this type of thing time and again be it with cords, headphones, etc. ... anything to make a buck! Too bad such good products come with what I feel is a lack of customer focus/goodwill. My disappointment just builds and builds with Apple.

but guess what.... if you have Roku device that was released around the same time as the 3rdGen Apple TV...that Roku is no longer supported either! (the 1st run of the Roku 2 from late 2011 and any of them older than that). And why? because that processor and software that runs on that processor are outdated and cant handle the new way that companies are preparing their streaming services....just like Apple.
