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.

After recently re-subscribing I found myself even more impressed than the previous time. Disney has gone above and beyond acquiring and providing the shows and movies that my children and surprisingly enough myself want to watch. Great job from company known for providing superb entertainment.

We had Solar panels put on our roof at No cost, yes NO cost to us. Trinity Solar and Sunnova were outstanding from start to finish. They took care of everything including permits ! What a lazy way for us to get an electric bill 60% less the first month ! Their communication was by email at our request. No muss ...no fuss. Installation took 5 hours and the clean up was great ! So what are you waiting for ...call Trinity Solar today unless you prefer feeding electric companies your hard earned cash !!! Thanks to both companies for a truly exceptional experience !!

My children can happily watch their best animated movies on Disney+. My daughter watches her favorite Disney princesses and my son watches his favorite Disney super heroes. Disney+ is cheap and easy to use on our 4k smart TV. Disney+ is a very good streaming service. Am very confident about what my children watch on Disney+. With the parental guidance control feature, I make sure they watch age appropriate movies.

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.

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!

Disney plus has some of my favorite movies but I do not like how when I am creating a profile they make me put things such as my gender. I don't even want to click I prefer not to say. I hate this new add and just wish to be left alone with who I am. Not every single thing I do needs a gender and a name and an age for something as simple as a profile for my kid on Disney to watch their favorite shows.

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.

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.

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 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.

Disney plus is a pretty new player in the video streaming game, but they have an incredible variety of shows. Since Disney owns so many different properties, this is one of the only places you'll be able to find Star Wars, Marvel, and Disney content in the future, which is worth it if you're a big fan of any of these franchises. I've had no problems with the streaming quality yet, and they also offer a good deal that comes with Hulu too.
