Disney+ Watch Guide: April 24-30

This week brings Disney+ subscribers quite a few blasts from the past. Earth Month continues with the addition of one of Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventures shorts, most of the Tom Bergeron era of America’s Funniest Home Videos is now available, and National Treasure joins the party by the end of the week. New exclusives include a new episode of Disney Insider, another Ahsoka Tano adventure in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and a Moana-themed challenge on Be Our Chef, filmed at the Walt Disney World Resort. Whatever you choose to stream this week, we hope it’s magical.
