We wanted to put together a review of the Disney+ (Disney Plus) that answers any question one may have about the new streaming service. This guide covers:

All the TV shows and movies currently available on Disney+
Future shows coming to Disney+
Disney+ device support and features
Deals to get Disney+ free and other ways to save on the service

At the end of the article, we’ll consider all the factors and decide if Disney+ is worth the price?

What is Disney Plus

Disney+ is a Disney owned OTT (over the top) subscription-based streaming service. The service provides video-on-demand content from Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, and the recently acquired 20th Century Fox.

Let’s take a look at the content, features, pricing, and devices supported by Disney+.

Disney+ Content at Glance

While we will go a little more in-depth later in the article, here are some highlights of the exciting content coming to Disney+:

The entire Disney Movie Vault
Every Pixar Movie and shorts
All of Disney’s Star Wars movies and TV shows will be moving to Disney+ within its first year of launch
New Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, and Pixar movies will stream exclusively on Disney+ after their theatrical run
All 30 seasons of The Simpsons
Nearly 500 movies and 7500 TV episodes in all.
A ton of Muppets Content
Original Shows and more which we will cover later in this article

Just take a look at some of the movies and TV currently available on Disney+.

Disney+ Features and Specs

Movies and TV Shows are in 4K HDR and ad-free
Subscribers can watch up to 4 streams at once across all devices
Subscribers can have up to 10 devices use one account
Users can create multiple profiles
Subscribers can download shows and movies to their devices to watch offline
Recommended speeds are 5.0 Mbps for High Definition content and 25.0 Mbps for 4K UHD content
Dolby Vision is supported with some content (recommended speed 25 Mbps)

Disney+ Price

Disney+ launched on November 12th, 2019. It offers direct-to-consumer streaming, so you do not need a cable TV or satellite subscription to purchase. The service costs only $6.99 per month. However, Disney+ also has year-long subscriptions at a discounted price of $69.99. Be sure to try the Disney+ 1-week free trial. There is no contract commitment unless you chose the annual plan.

Disney+ Deals

Bundle Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu

Disney also allows subscribers to bundle Disney+ with Hulu’s streaming library and Disney’s ESPN+ streaming service for just $12.99 per month.

If you already have Hulu, you are still eligible for this offer. Just follow the instructions below:

You’ll need to sign up for the bundle via Disney+ (not Hulu)
You’ll need to use the same email address associated with your Hulu account.
You will continue to be billed separately for your Hulu subscription
As long as you keep your eligible existing Hulu account, Disney will give you a credit towards your Disney bundle subscription in the amount of $5.99/month — the value of the Hulu (ad-supported) plan included in the Disney bundle (however, you’ll keep the Hulu plan you have)

So this means even if you have the Hulu Live TV plan, you’ll keep that plan, have access to Disney+ and ESPN+, and get a $5.99 credit to your monthly Hulu bill. We’ve put together a guide on How To Bundle different Hulu plans with Disney+ if you need a bit more detail.

Disney+ is Free with Verizon

Right now, Verizon is including 12 months of Disney+ with all of their Fios Internet plans. They are also offering up to 12 months of Disney+ for customers with Verizon unlimited wireless plans. This deal is for new and existing customers.

As you see below in the “supported devices” section, Disney+ is available on a wide array of devices. Once you sign up for a 1-week free trial to Disney+, you can download the Disney+ app and start binging content!

What is On Disney+

Disney announced loads of original content being developed for the Disney+ streaming service. Here is a breakdown of when and what to expect from Disney+ when it comes to TV shows and movies.

Disney+ Newly Released Movies

Once a Disney, Star Wars, or Marvel movie runs its course in the theater, it will exclusively be available on Disney+.

That means, you may want to consider subscribing to Disney+ if you’re going to watch Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Frozen 2, or Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker once they go into their streaming release phase. Keep in mind any existing release deals will be honored, but eventually, all movie releases will end up on Disney+

Original Shows on Disney+

Disney has an entire slate of TV shows it’s looking to release on Disney+. Here are some of the highlights.

The Mandalorian

I’ve been craving a Star Wars Bounty Hunter movie since I first saw Boba Fett in Empire Strikes Back when I was a kid. The Mandalorian TV series may be better than I imagined.

The 8 episode series will focus on a Mandalorian bounty hunter similar to Boba Fett. The timeline will take place about five years after the fall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi. It will be the first time we see this period of the Star Wars universe on screen.

The Mandalorian will be the first live-action Star Wars series and it is written and produced by Iron Man director Jon Favreau. This series is currently available on Disney+

You can read my review of The Mandalorian and see why Disney could take my $6.99 per month on the movies and this series alone.

Marvel’s “Hero Project”

Hero Project is a documentary sharing stories of 20 kids around the county doing kind, brave, and heroic deeds in their community. Marvel Entertainment says:

In life, it doesn’t take wearing a suit of iron, carrying a mythical hammer or swinging from spider webs to be a real hero. Sometimes the person who can make a positive difference in the world is the person who simply sees a problem and has the passion to find a creative solution.
Marvel Entertainment

The First Episode is available right now on Disney+. It features a 13-year-old girl named Jordan Reeves, who has a limb difference, having been born with one of her arms ending before her elbow. Rather than let this get her down, Jordan has been galvanized into finding creative solutions for achieving everyday goals. She learned to swim, go rock-climbing, and become a cheerleader. Learn more in our review of Marvel’s Hero Project

Encore!

Encore! is a reality show hosted by Kristen Bell where cast members of a high school musical are reunited to recreate their performance years after they initially performed. This show isn’t just about enjoying the potential pitfalls of adults recreating their high school performance, but seeing how these people have changed since highschool. We published a review of Encore! for a deeper dive into this entertaining show.

The World According to Jeff Goldblum

The World According to Jeff Goldblum is an educational documentary program driven by curiosity. In each episode, Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Independence Day) digs into the history and development of everyday items that people are passionate about, learns about how they are made, the culture of popularity surrounding them, and just what makes them exciting and appealing. Check out our review of the first episode!

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

High School Musical is back in series form on Disney+. This mockumentary follows a group of theatre kids attending the school where the original High School Musical movie took place. To make the show even more like a set of Disney Russian nesting dolls, the group is part of their school production of “High School Musical: The Musical.” If you are as confused as I am, check out our review of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

Everything Currently Available on Disney+

In addition to new movie releases and original TV shows, Disney plans to have an on-demand streaming library of movies and TV Shows. This will include Disney owned and licensed content like The Simpsons.

By the end of year one, Disney+ will house more than 7,500 episodes of television and 500 movies. I’ve broken down everything you’ll find on Disney+ at launch below. We list them in the following categories:

Star Wars on Disney+

At launch, Disney+ will have most Star Wars Movies, Animation, and TV Shows (Including the new Disney+ Original The Mandalorian) all in one place.

Marvel’s What If…? This animated series slated for year 1 takes inspiration from the comic books of the same name. Each episode will explore a moment from the Marvel Cinematic Universe ask the question, “What if something else happened” and leading the audience into a Marvel reality they’ve never seen.

Is Disney+ Worth the Price

Disney+’s $6.99 price tag makes it one of the more affordable streaming services out there right now. Considering Disney+ is the only place to stream Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, and Pixar movies once they wrap up their theatrical run, this is a natural choice for those wanting to stream blockbuster movies. Disney releases 20-30 films a year and raked in about 40% of the 2019 box office. Renting half of these movies would easily cost more than subscribing to Disney+

If that isn’t enough to justify the price, subscribers have access to the entire Disney movie Vault, Pixar movies and shorts, nearly every episode of TV shows aired on Disney Channel, Disney Jr, and Disney XD, all 30 episode of the Simpsons, along with anything Marvel or Star Wars. Then there the slate of Disney+ original shows. Many would pay $6.99 just to watch The Mandalorian.

The app interface is smooth and responsive, the amount of content available is vast, and the cost only comes to $6.99 per month. We rate Disney+ as a top-rated 5-star streaming service. It’s easily worth the price and consider the service an amazing value. You can see if you agree at no cost by taking advantage of this 1-week free trial to Disney+.
