"Disney Play" redirects here. For the upcoming online media streaming service from Disney in which "Disney Play" was falsely reported to be working title, see Disney+.

In Summer 2007, a video service called Disney Play was added, which is only available in the region. In 2012 the site was updated because of a new logo. In November 2013 the site was updated again to the same look as the Disney Channel UK's website.
