I've mentioned many times before on my blog that when I was growing up I was only allowed to watch Disney movies on Sunday's.

This matched the Arabian theme of Aladdin as well. Eventually, Eric … [Read more...]

With Disney Movies Anywhere you can stream or play downloaded movies from phones and most devices.
