That is what I do.  Having the physical disk is not as important.  My only
thing about obtaining the disk vs. watching on streaming is that I can
control when a show/movie "leaves my service."  :)  Also, buying the disk
is cheaper than paying for the streaming service (at least it has been so
far -- but I bet that is not true for Disney content!).

Now, two of the last three things I bought on disk turned out to be disks
that cannot be copied... so I have to have the physical disk.  <shrugs>
