November 12th 2019

@adamhlavac: #DisneyPlus launches November 12 and will cost $6.99/month or $69.99/year. https://twitter.com/adamhlavac/statu...883136/photo/1

Full Details in link. This will be awesome. May want to get Disney stock I'm guessing.

They better have some obscure classics like Candleshoe, Unidentified Flying Oddball, Gus and Return to Witch Mountain, damnit!

Don't forget "The Cat From Outer Space" and "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes".

(Seriously, though... the only streaming service I have is Amazon Prime (and that's more for the free shipping), but I'll be picking this one up. I like Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic, so it's a no-brainer.)

I'll probably end up getting it just for the Marvel movies.

I'm sure they will...they own everything.

I wonder if it will be a tiered service like hulu. For 6.99 you get ads. For 9.99 you get none.

Probably where I'm at.

I had a hankerin for Winter Soldier the other day after I posted the fight scene from it, and I'll be damned if it isn't on any of my platforms.

In about ten years we will be back to the cable route lol

"Candleshoe", I remember that. Saw is at the theater, couldn't tell you a thing about it. I gotta find it now, I know I really liked it when I was 6 or 7.

Think it's supposed to be ad free, Period.

Will Disney release ‘Song of the South’ for streaming?

double the prices though

‘The Simpsons’ to Stream Exclusively on Disney+. All episodes from the show’s 30 seasons available on the service at launch in November.

Hope they bring Daredevil and Punisher to their network

That was my question as well, it is usually available somewhere on youtube.

Can finally watch the Star Wars series

Hopefully in 4K

Herbie and the Worlds strongest man?????

I want the entire Dean Jones catolog please

Absolfrigginlutely

Went the streaming route cause it was cheaper and more convenient with netflix and prime. Now that everything is being splintered into individual services and the cost is going to be basically equal to cable im just going to start pirating everything with kodi again.

Tomorrow is the day...I'm already a Hulu subscriber so I'm gonna do the bundle paying an extra 6 bucks for Disney and ESPN + sounds like a good deal to me.

I'm a Hulu subscriber as well, how do I go about that?

I read online that apparently if you sign up for the bundle with the same email it should register into the bundle so you aren't charged separately.

Wonder if this drops at midnight or 2am central? Or sometime during the day tomorrow??

Right on.

When I checked the website a couple hours ago it said 10 hours. I'm thinking around 6am.

I guess Verizon has worked out a deal where I can get a year free with my unlimited account so I’m signed up. I was looking at the list of every thing that will be available tomorrow and I’m looking forward to revisiting some of the old classics. I was disappointed to learn that only a handful of the MCU movies are going to be available right away. I guess they have to let their agreements with other streaming services expire before the movies they currently have can be added. I’ll just have to wait a little longer to do the chronological order thing.

I already have Hulu and ESPN+. Signed up for the bundle. Cost like $2.80.

For us, we didn't really care much for ESPN+, and it's a few dollars cheaper to just have Disney+ and Hulu.

This is what I was looking forward to doing, too.

ESPN + is great if you like hockey or want to watch some extra stuff, if you aren't into watching lots of hockey or baseball though it won't give you much.

Browsing the content this morning before work I can see that I'll be watching a good dose of Mandalorian, XMen cartoons, and Spiderman cartoons this week =)

Disney getting hammered. I cannot even get logged in. In the que for chat...over 30 minute wait. I tried to log in, but it wants to send me a six digit code to verify my account the first time...and the email with it never comes.

I think it is safe to say Disney+ is gonna be big.

I did mine at 7 this morning and got signed up quickly, now though it tells me my net connection is bad when I try to watch so safe to say their getting hit hard.

I was reading on reddit...lots of folks are connecting. Mandolarian is not streaming for most folks and a lot of folks are barely able to log in.

They are getting pounded for sure. I would like to just get in to at least get the account finalized so when things do lighten up I can get in with no problems.

Although if you did the bundle ESPN+ works great lol.

It took a minute to load this morning when I first signed up and I got the connection error message, but I was still able to navigate and started Endgame up just to test and it started playing with out issue. I’m now streaming Blackbeard’s Ghost I’m with our issue.

Just keep in mind, the more popularity that Disney+ gets, the more likely they will be to remove all of their existing content from other streaming providers.

That's going to happen anyway....that's coming in general, Netflix is going to get smacked.

Lol. Lucas steals the day as he changed Star Wars once again. He added in a word for the Han shoots Greedo Scene. “Maclunkey”. WTF???!

Just went home during lunch & set it up as the wife & kid are home for snow & figured they might want to watch some Disney stuff. I was able to get 3 devices logged in & set up no problem so hopefully they've worked through most of the issues.

No issues today for me.

I had no issues either when I went to lunch and got it setup. So far it is working great and started watching Empire Strikes Back for the 100th time.

I’ve been having some buffering issues as the afternoon has gotten later. Kids getting home from school and jumping on to check it out for the first time most likely. This evening could very well be sketchy too.

Finally got the code and got my account verified. Works great on my Nvidia Shield.

Gonna watch The Mandalorian here in a bit...gonna be awesome!

For $12.99 WITH Hulu, that's a pretty good deal.

Now that GoT is gone i have no use for HBO. Sounds like a good swap. Disney, Hulu and ESPN vs HBO....

Exactly. This is happening in Bowserland.

Got the first year free with Verizon. **** yeah I’m in.

Anybody know how many TVs can be watching at one time?

Besides The Mandalorian, I have zero interest in Disney+. Is it worth the $6.99?

.

Definitely not liking the inability to control stream bandwidth within the app. It's all HD all the time.

I prefer to watch in SD and choose what I watch in HD to save bandwidth.

Data cap huh?

Where’s ‘Song if the South’ ‘Watcher in the Woods’ ‘The Devil and Max Devlin ‘Condorman’ and ‘The Black Cauldron’. ????

Yep

I have one also I just pay to be uncapped I'm always way over it.

We don't have that option. We pay overage fees. Haven't hit it yet, but that's why I'm vigilant. With 5 people in the house, I have to be.

Vudu does it perfectly. You can change speed anytime right on the dashboard.

If I had to be under it I'd be using my program that lets me turn things off and turning off kids wifi's for big portions of days.

I use everything my router allows. Unfortunately it does not allow me to control speed to specific devices. None of my kids can access streaming after 9pm on school nights. I'm not a popular father for that but kids never understand financial issues.

Mine can't either but that's because they'd stay up till 3 AM and refuse to get out of bed.

New problem. Disney+ doesn't remember where you left off in a movie the next day

You don't like any other Star Wars or Marvel?

Disney+ is basically for movies while Netflix or HBOMax will be for shows.

I had it happen after a few hours. My son started a movie, went to taekwondo & got dinner. Came back and no option to reastart, had to fast forward to where he was. I did stop Mandalorian & pick it up in another room without issues but there was only a 30ish minute gap.

Definitely a 1st world problem but something they need to work out

Astonishing value for $7 a month.

The bundle makes it even better.

No doubt, as an existing Hulu customer I'm adding Disney+ and ESPN+ for $7

The Black Cauldron is on there.

Yes. And I don’t know about anyone else, but I have to turn subtitles off with each new movie/show I start. It’s simple enough to do, but still annoying after a while.

I have youtubetv now, I might switch over to Hulu + this.

I need to see the difference in what I get between Hulu and Youtubetv.

Note that the package deal with Hulu and Disney+ does not include Hulu Live TV streaming. "Hulu" and "Hulu with Live TV" are different entities. So it's not comparable to YoutubeTV in that manner.

Yep, I noticed their live cost is 44.95, which is way better than Youtube after their huge hike.

Hulu is only 5 bucks cheaper and their interface and DVR suck compared to YouTube TV.

Ehh, it's only a $5 difference with the base packages. I tried Hulu with Live TV for a while. I liked their channel selection, but there were a few things that really turned me off. You only get 50hrs of DVR unless you pay an upgrade fee. You can only have 2 devices in use at one time, unless you pay an upgrade fee. You can only stream from 1 location at a time. So you can't share the service with someone else outside of the home. Or if you owned 2 houses in different cities, you'd need 2 separate Hulu accounts for it to work.

I share my YoutubeTV account with family so we split the cost. Not possible with Hulu.

Thanks for the info, guys.


Just going to get Disney outright. It's not like it costs a lot. :D

Hulu Live includes the standard Hulu subscription. The way it works with Disney+ is they refund 5.99 of the Disney+ (normally 12.99) so you're paying the same $7 extra that you would with a regular(not live) Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ bundle.

I would hate that maybe it will be fixed in updates.

What is watching TV Live? I never do this other than sports.

I don’t particularly like rewatching things I’ve already seen.

One issue with the service, if you aren't watching marvel, star wars, or Pixar, you better know what it is you are looking for. They definitely steer you to the big three.

By the way flight of the navigator is an old favorite.

Anyone else notice the star wars films that are missing.

You will never see song of the south on there. I thought I saw black cauldron in the list you can browse by decades, and I assume the others are coming.

They also added "outdated" cultural warnings to some things which is probably a good idea. The early stuff from laugh o gram and the silent mickey stuff before steamboat willie isn't there either. They seem to be considering the appearance of talking Mickey as the start of Disney. They also framed out the other studio name at the top of steamboat willie even though I doubt anyone is still even aware of celebrity productions unless they are real animation buffs.
