While Disney+ is available to many countries all over the world, not all their contents are accessible to users around the globe who are streaming with the app. Some movies can be accessed in different countries in Europe but not in the US and vice versa.

Disney Plus error code 73 is a location or region issue. You will see the error message,

Disney+ is only available in certain regions. Depending on where you are located, you may not be able to access Disney+. If you think you are seeing this message in error, visit the Disney+ Help Center (Error Code 73).”

It means that the streaming content you are trying to watch are not available in your indicated location. This error usually appears if you are using a VPN service to bypass the geo-restrictions set by Disney.
