One of the perks of being a Disney Plus subscriber is the ability to watch movies that are still in theaters. Yes, we are talking about 'Premier Access,' which comes at an extra cost ($29.99) for each movie you purchase. So, let's talk about how to get 'Premier Access' on Disney Plus, letting you activate a very exciting side of this streaming platform.

How to Activate 'Premier Access' on Disney+

1. First and foremost, sign-up for Disney Plus (use the provided link to get started).

Are 'Premier Access' Movies Available for a Limited Time?

Yes – 'Premier Access' movies are available for a limited time. So far, Disney Plus has offered two movies this way – 'Mulan' and 'Raya and the Last Dragon.' Both of those were offered through 'Premier Access' for three whole months. After that, they became available to all Disney Plus subscribers.

However, if you’re wondering if you have a limited time to watch 'Premier Access' movies, the answer is – no. They will remain in your library without any restrictions, and you’ll get to watch them as many times as you want.

'Premier Access' comes as a one-time fee, so those movies will remain in your Disney Plus library as long as your subscription is active. Use the provided link to learn more.
