Disney Plus, The Walt Disney Company’s new streaming service, is set to launch in November 2019. From the content lineup, critics and fans expect the service to pose strong competition to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other streaming services. Prior to now, Disney’s content has been available through other streaming businesses, but now the content will phase out of other businesses and only be available on Disney Plus.

The Good

Exclusive Content
Low Price
Growing Library
Potential Bundle with Hulu

Exclusive Content

Up until now, Disney content has been displayed mostly on Netflix. However, now all of Disney’s new releases and original content will be exclusively available for streaming on Disney Plus. In addition to new and classic Disney films, series, and shorts, Disney Plus will also feature content from Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm (Star Wars), and National Geographic. The service will also have exclusive rights to all 30 seasons of The Simpsons.

For Star Wars and Marvel fans, Disney Plus is a must. The service will debut series whose stories are intertwined with upcoming feature films. The Marvel series include Loki, WandaVision, Hawkeye, Falcon and Winter Soldier, and What If…?. The Star Wars series include The Mandalorian, a Cassian Andor series, and others. In order to fully understand the plot of the new movies, you’ll need to be up to date on the series.

Low Price

Disney Plus launches with an initial price of $7 per month, or $70 per year. This is incredibly low for the quality of content. Netflix’s most basic plan starts at $9 per month. However, commentators speculate that Disney’s $7 per month price will increase as the amount of content on the platform and its popularity increase.

Growing Library

Though Disney Plus’s library of content will start quite a bit smaller than its top competitor Netflix, it has plans to add a substantial amount of content in the next few years. Disney CEO Bob Iger informed shareholders that Disney Plus will eventually include all of Disney’s movie library, including movies in the “Disney Vault” that have been kept out of circulation.

Potential Bundle with Hulu

As Hulu is a subsidiary of Disney, there are rumors that Disney Plus will be available as a Hulu add-on.

The Bad

Might Not Have a Free Trial
Price Might Increase
No Third-Party Shows or Films

Might Not Have a Free Trial

Though it’s pretty customary for streaming services to offer a free trial before you subscribe, Disney Plus hasn’t mentioned any kind of trial period on its website.

Price Might Increase

Disney Plus itself has made comments that hint to the subscription’s price increasing, perhaps even in the first year of after service’s release. Though right now it’s advertised as $7 per month, the price is bound to increase quickly.

No Third-Party Shows or Films

Disney Plus will only feature content from its own studios and its partner studios. This will include content from Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, and Pixar. Though this is quality content, other streaming services have more varied content.

The Bottom Line

If you like Disney, Pixar, Marvel, or Star Wars, this streaming service is the place to be. Though we don’t yet have enough information to review the functionality of the product, the customer service, or customer satisfaction, the content lineup and competitive price are impressive.

I think Disney+ was wise to separate the different genre of movies and shows that it offers. It’s so easy to search National Geo or Marvel movies by going to that icon. Great job! I like using Disney+ because It’s so easy!!

Disney Plus! I have always loved Disney movies since I was a kid, and that love has carried over into adulthood. I still love settling down with movies I loved as a child. Disney Plus has all of my favorite movies, so it's definitely worth it! I always wished to have just one place to watch all of my faves!

I have the package deal with Hulu and ESPN. Disney Plus has such a great variety of shows and movies- truly for all ages. The thing I don't like- it's hard to remove movies/shows from "continue watching" if you actually don't want to continue watching.

Disney is wonderful I watched Disney cartoons growing up and the shows I love Mickey Mouse. Disney+ with my children when they were growing the movies are fantastic and some of the shows were great. I have to admit, there are no children in the house anymore, but some of the movies are still nice to watch. It takes me back to my childhood.

I love watching Disney movies. I work with kids and with Disney + It’s easy to find something the kids will love. I also always use this service to watch family movies with my kids. The only thing I would change is updating the selection more. I seen most of the Disney movies and shows on Disney plus.

Disney+ is priced pretty well because there's not a lot to watch. It's nice for kids to be able to see the new movies instead of going to the theater, but even with young kids they don't watch it as much as other streaming services. You can only watch so many Marvel and Disney movies. Great for what it is, but not as great as other streaming services if you're an adult.

Good content overall. Great for families with little ones or those who like Marvel and/or Star Wars franchises. I like it overall but find that a lot of the new content doesn't work for me. However the depth of the libraries is worth keeping it going, particularly when we are entertaining folks.

I recently acquired Disney+ out of a bundle with ESPN and Hulu plus. I have really enjoyed Disney+ because it has so many classics that I grew up with in one place and the inner face is very fluent in both mobile and TV experiences. I believe the catalogue is a little limited, in terms of new content and movies

We thoroughly enjoy Disney plus! It has been awesome to have access to classic Disney movies as well as newer films and the star wars franchise. I’ve also been impressed with the informational screen they show before some of the older movies that have some racial overtones that wouldn’t be acceptable today.

Disney+ is great because they offer a variety of movies and TV shows for everyone in the family to be able to watch. My five-year-old son is baby Yoda‘s biggest fan and with Disney+. He can watch baby Yoda all day every day. I also love that while traveling, you can put your username and password into hotel TVs and watch Disney+ on the go . I also found out that you can bundle Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN for one low price every month.

Only selection is Marvel pretty much. Nothing else worth watching so short term it is a value, long term its a waste of money. Especially now that Marvel has really slowed down production. And Star Wars hasn't done anything in years.

Disney+ is a life safer as it has all of my favorite Disney classics all in one place for a great price. The Star Wars, Marvel, and classic Disney content make it worth the price alone, the rest is for sure a great bonus! I look forward to my kids one day, being able to grow up with some of the same movies and shows I did as well as content made for them!

This service is boring and the shows are just all the same. You can't buy any of the marvel shows on dvd. Can't even find them. The movies are more for kids and the movies do not change all that often.

Disney+ is my family's favorite television pastime. One of my favorite aspects of Disney+ is that you can save the movies on your devices, so you may view the movies/tv shows while you are away from a network connection. The catalogue is amazing. Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, National Geographic, and original programming... it's simply amazing.
