It isn’t expensive so worth it. If it goes any higher than like $7-8 I’ll probably cancel until they start releasing more original digital content. It will take them a while to fill it up and they’ll be limited just based on their target demographic


But there’s no reason why they can’t do a bunch of shows well just based off my viewing of The Mandalorian. They’ll need to do that with a bunch of other shows but also have some original movies worth a damn too

Love it. But it’s for my young kids.

I'll put on Star Wars or The Rocketeer in the background while I'm working on something. I'm viewing through the old movies (Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues, the Swiss Family Robinson films).


Yeah this is mainly what I personally watch as well. Don’t really care about new content.

We have it but honestly we’re about to turn it off. My daughter is obsessed with T.O.T.S and it’s not available. We have to watch it through the Disney now app.

My son is 2 and won’t watch anything.

I purchased a full year and I have been satisfied, just wish my ISP didn't have a data cap.

Loved it the first couple of weeks, but cancelled it last week because we weren't watching it.

Because of my two year old it is on constantly. Personally, I like it but I would like some more original content. But for the price it is good.

Everything I want to watch is not coming until 2020 or 2021. If not for my kids being in love with some of the cartoon shows I’d probably have already cancelled.

It’s basically Netflix for small children. If you don’t have small children or a Disney fetish, I can’t imagine it being worth the money at this point. Although it isn’t expensive or anything





This is it. My kids watch D+ now and never put on Netflix. My 4yo is obsessed with Captain America, so we have been watching both movies as well as Civil War a lot lately.


Yes the new content is limited, but that was to be expected upon launch. It takes time to get a steady flow of new shows rolling in. Look at how long it has taken Netflix, Amazon and Hulu.

I say it's a good stream for people with kids, but for everyone else it's a couple of years away.

New content definitely lacking.
I know all the new Marvel stuff is in the pipeline but they should have had one of those series ready to go.
Star Wars and Marvel is not enough.
They need to get going and you would think they would have more stuff ready as Netflix did it from the ground up.

I was already subbing to to Hulu so Disney+ and ESPN+ is only $6 more a month. I haven't used it, but it's the only streaming that my 5 year old uses now. Well, that and Plex.

ETA: I will be watching season 7 of The Clone Wars.

When you say this, do you mean your 5 year old can actually get the controller and get to what shows he/she wants to watch? I'm ready for my 3 year old to figure that shite out for himself

Depends on your family situation. If you have kids it's great. If not, then you'll get your nostalgia fix pretty quickly.

My kids are 8 and 2. The 8 year old loves Star Wars, Marvel and Pirates of the Caribbean, while the 2 year old loves Mickey Mouse and the animated classics.

My wife and I have had fun watching the vault films with our kids. It's also been fun introducing my 8 year old to stuff I grew up on like DuckTales and Gargoyles as well as stuff like Heavyweights and Cool Runnings.

No complaints thus far.

I have it and I'm about to drop it because not enough new content is being added. Mandalorian was great but that's not enough to keep me paying a monthly fee and I've watched everything we care to watch. I know the have a few new things coming soon but that's not enough.

Is anyone else having buyer remorse?


As others have mentioned. I have two young kids. So no buyer's remorse for me.
