Disney Plus Premier Access was introduced in September 2020 with the live-action blockbuster Mulan. Following the coronavirus outbreak, this film was pulled from a theatrical release and placed on Disney Plus, where subscribers could pay additional fees to view it. But what started out as a "one-off" approach could well become more commonplace as lockdowns continue, with Raya and the Last Dragon, the second Disney Plus Premier Access movie released in March. It should delight the whole family, and not just because they won't have to get off the couch to see it! Join Disney Plus now

What is Disney Plus Premier Access?
Disney Plus Premier Access helps recreate the movie experience. New Walt Disney Studios titles are available on the day and date of their theatrical release on Disney Plus, which means you can enjoy them in the comfort of your own home for a one-time additional fee. Not only can you share the excitement of the latest big-budget movie with your family or friends, Premier titles are available to view in stunning UHD or HDR quality and Dolby Audio sound. The €30 fee may seem steep - although it's cheaper than two cinema tickets and a bucket of popcorn - but once you've parted with your money, you can watch the movie over and over again. That's on top of enjoying the latest Disney extravaganza months before it was made available to regular Disney Plus subscribers.How do I get Premier access to Disney Plus?
Watching a Disney Plus Premier Access title is pretty easy, but you need to be a Disney Plus member first. So if you don't have a subscription, go to the website to sign up. Enter your email address, select a monthly or yearly plan, then enter your credit card details. You will now be able to purchase new versions of Disney Plus Premier Access. These can be found on the home page or by entering the name of the movie in the search tool. Click on the desired title and you will receive a purchase message, before being asked to verify your credit card details. Ready! Once that's done, you'll be ready to stream the latest and greatest from Disney. And, as long as you remain a subscriber, you'll be able to watch the movie as often as you like. Please note that a Premier Plus title can also be purchased through various devices with the Disney Plus app, including Apple, Google, Amazon and Roku.
