There may also be a Region Code issue. DVD's in the U.S. & Canada have a different region programmed into them than the UK, so DVD's don't work from one region to another.
So unless the Disney DVD is coded as region-free, or if the OP has a multi-region DVD player, it won't work even if someone sends it to them.
