This post is sponsored by Netflix #StreamTeam! The enthusiasm for all things Disney is, of course, my own.
If you know me, you know I am a self-confessed Disney-holic. I don’t remember the first time I ever went to Disney World, but I do remember visiting many times throughout my childhood on family vacations and school trips. When I wasn’t visiting, I’d watch my favorite Disney flicks (on VHS of course) over and over again. Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid…I know those soundtracks front to back.
Confession 1: To this day, if I need a pick-me-up, there are a few really good Disney movie soundtrack playlists on Spotify that I like to listen to! A personal favorite is to listen to Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid while lifting heavy weights. It makes me giggle that no one knows the song fueling my gains is sung by a talking crab rather than a surly death metal dude.
Baby Chanelle, pre-bodybuilding!
Confession 2: I love the 1971 Disney movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks so much, I have a tattoo inspired by it.
Confession 3: Before I was divorced, I got engaged AND honeymooned at Disney World!
So enough about me. Guess what! All of us Disneyphiles are in luck, because a selection of Disney movies is now available to stream on Netflix starting this month!
Netflix and Disney signed a deal that promises all 2015-2016 Disney theatrical releases will come exclusively to Netflix. That means you can watch all your old favorite movies with your family, like Tarzan, Robin Hood, Fantasia, and The Land Before Time. (Man, I can’t even tell you how often my brother and I watched The Land Before Time growing up!)
Eloise says
great photos, lot of personality and fun 🙂 I’ll have to keep this in mind and watch on Netflix!
Stacy says
I love Bedknobs and Broomsticks, I feel it is one of Disney’s underrated movies! I am excited about more Disney movies coming to Netflix because I rarely get to the movies anymore. I am so behind on current Disney movies, so hopefully Netflix will have some good ones that I want to see.
Erin Kennedy says
What a fun confession. We love Disney and went there for our honeymoon. We also went before we had kids again. Can’t wait till our babies are old enough to take them!

My daughter took her family to Disney for the first time last year. My granddaughter was the perfect age (5) and was in awe of all the spectacular beauty. Disney provides such wonderful experiences for children of all ages. We know three young people attending Disney University and their experience has been life-changing. One of the young ladies doesn’t ever want to come home and can’t see herself ever doing anything else.
Kendall Rayburn says
I’ve never been to Disney, but I can’t wait to take my kids someday. We are OBSESSED with Disney movies, shows, toys, the works. So when we do finally get to go, it’s going to be SO special!

Netflix has been my BFF for so many years. I remember when there was like 30 movies. And they weren’t all that great. So, it’s awesome to see all these great movies being added over time.

Adorable pics! I’m a huge Disney fan too! I can’t wait to take my littlest one they both LOVE Mickey.
Marcie W. says
I am far from an actual Disney addict BUT I am a sucker for the classic films from the nineties. There is just something about movies like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid that I can never get enough of.

I’m obsessed with Disney, specifically Minnie Mouse… I love the name Minnie and think it would make a gorgeous baby girls name if I ever have one xxx
Pam Wattenbarger says

Rhian Westbury says
I absolutely love Disney and really love Bedknobs and Broomsticks x
Dee says
Don’t feel alone, I have a lot of friends who are very hooked up on Disney. It didn’t help that we met during our time participating in the Disney College program. Its cool that the movies are now going to be on Nextflix, this is going to make it easier to watch something on lazy days.
Sarah says
It is bad that this post made me SO excited?! I absolutely love Disney movies, and I totally get what you mean about the Under The Sea song. My pick me up Disney song is ‘I’ll Make A Man Out Of You’ From Mulan! Such a kick ass song! Haha.
Also, I love Bedknobs and Broomsticks SO much.
And last but not least..THANKYOU. Thank you SO MUCH for reminding me that Land Before Time exists.
I literally need to turn of Eastenders & go watch that instead right now!!
Chanelle says
I love that song from Mulan too! I know what I’m listening to at the gym later…
Heather Lawrence says
You are the first person in YEARS that has mentioned “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”! I love that movie and am anxiously awaiting for it to show up on netflix. Can not wait to show it to my little ones.

This single, childless gal in the city is a horror buff so I am sorely lacking when it comes to Disney and the Animated Genre. Unless it’s Japanese Anime!
Let’s see that tattoo! 🙂

I don’t have kids so my ignorance of Disney movies is unfortunate. I love that kind of stuff though so really should treat myself to a few of the classics. There is nothing like a happy ending!

My girls love princesses, in fact Ariel is my youngest kiddos favorite! I love that you can stream so many great movies and shows!
Alicia says
I’m headed to Disney for the first time next month! I guess I’ll have to watch these movies to get in the Disney mood 🙂
Dawn McAlexander says
Bedknobs and Broomsticks, I barely remember that movie. It was already five years old by the time that I was born, but I remember Angela Lansbury starred in it. I seem to remember an army of empty suits of armor coming to life. Does that sound about right?
Chanelle says
That’s the one!

I can’t say I’m a Disney-holic but I respect that fact that you are. Little Mermaid is my favorite, it’s a classic and always reminds me of the good ole days. I still know every song by heart 🙂 Under the Sea is one of my all time favorites also
