Disney TV Streaming | Disney+ Major Highlights Review

When you hear the word ‘Disney’ what first thought comes to mind?

I just pictured myself and younger sister during our childhood watching Sleeping Beauty in our onesie pajamas.  Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty & The Beast were some of my all time favorite movies to watch when I was disney-tv-streaminglittle.

Currently, my 4 year old nephew and 5 year old son are completely obsessed with the movie ‘Cars’. That is their ‘go to’ movie to watch when they are together!

When a new Disney movie is released, they have my full attention because I can honestly say there is not one I haven’t liked. Every single movie I’ve watched has been enjoyable. I’ve seen numerous Disney shows they own such as American Idol and Family Guy, both are awesome.

But when you think Disney can’t get any better it DOES!

It’s called Disney+, the new Disney TV streaming service that I am so excited about (which prompted me to write this post).  I’m not getting paid by Disney to talk about their streaming service, this is just my honest and raw opinion I want to share with you. 😉

So without further ado, let’s get you the information you came here for (and thanks so much for being here)!  We are going to explore the major highlights on why this is the ultimate magical surprise for children and adults.

What is Disney+?


Disney opened a whole new journey for its supporters on November 12, 2019, by launching their incredible streaming service called Disney+.

mickey-mouseYou can watch ALL of Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, & National Geographic movies and TV shows right in the comfort of your home! Oh wait it gets better for a few reasons …

Reason #1. Basically anything and everything Disney you can stream ad-free for a small investment of $6.99 per month. That’s around the cost of a #1 ‘Classic Single with Cheese’ from Wendy’s.

Reason #2. You can stream the endless collection of Disney on 4 different devices at once or you have the option of downloading your favorite shows or movies to watch later.

Reason #3. You can stream dozens of titles in 4K UHD which is the ‘Ultra HD’ for 4K resolution TV’s. It is like watching your favorites in high definition TV on steroids.

In a nutshell, Disney+ is a subscription video on-demand streaming service that is growing exponentially while capturing the marketplace in the ‘TV streaming’ sector.

This leads me to some fun MIND BLOWING facts I came across while writing this review which I have to share with you.

Monthly Fee and Bundling with other Networks


Before you make a decision if Disney+ is the right choice for you or your loved ones you can try it out for 7 days FREE. If you decide to subscribe, you can become a member in one of two ways:

  1. Receive Disney+ only for a low initial investment of $6.99/month or $69.99/year.
  2. Receive a ‘Bundle’ package of Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu for $12.99/month.

Side note: I just recently purchased the year subscription for my kiddo who is loving the musical ‘Alexander Hamilton’ plus there are SO many Disney movies and shows (particularly Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) he enjoys.

My total cost comes out to $5.83 per month which I think is a STEEL.  I feel like you basically get the entire Disney vault of every show, movie, and classic for free.  Well not really free but is sure feels like it!

Facts that will blow your mind about Disney+ …


Fact #1. As of today as I’m writing this, Disney’s streaming service JUST hit 54.5 million subscribers. They gathered that many new members within 6 months of launching their streaming service! To put that in perspective, Netflix currently has 182.8 million subscribers. Disney captured around 30% of the number of subscribers Netflix has within 6 months! Disney’s goal was to hit 60 million subscribers by the end of their 2024 fiscal year. I’d say they are WAY ahead of

Fact #2. Disney’s streaming service is currently owned by the Direct-to-Consumer & International subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

Fact #3. Disney+ can be packaged monthly with ESPN+ and Hulu. That’s right, Disney owns the sports streaming service ESPN+ and Hulu. Who would have thought? Not me! I don’t mean that negatively, I mean Disney is absolutely crushing it.

Fact #4. Let the ‘streaming’ wars begin! Current competitors looking to gobble up subscribers include Netflix, disney-plusAT&T’s HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Apple’s Apple TV+, and NBCUniversal’s Peacock.

Fact #5. A BIG roll out just happened in March 2020 with Disney+ expanding internationally into the markets of India and Western Europe such as the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. This summer, Portugal, Nordic Nations, and Belgium will be next.

Fact #6. You can create up to 7 user profiles for different members in your household. When you create your user profile, you can each chose your Avatar (your favorite Disney character). There are over 200 Avatars to pick from!

Fact #7. You can stream Disney+ on your TV, computer, mobile & tablet, and game consoles.

How does Disney+ compare to other streaming services?


Let’s just say Disney is very generous for the price and what you get included in their streaming service. Let’s compare a few of their competitors for the fun of it.

Netflix. Disney allows its members to stream on 4 devices plus access 4K UHD for $6.99/month compared to Netflix’s most popular plan which lets its members stream on 2 devices for $13.99/month. If you want to access the 4K UHD option through Netflix, you will be paying about ten dollars more at $16/month. Netflix was also the first streaming service you could watch some Disney movies and overtime this year in 2020, Disney movies will slowly start disappearing from Netflix.

HBO Max. Disney is charging about half compared to HBO Max who is launching a preorder price of $11.99/month on May 27th and then after a year the subscription price will jump up to $14.99/month for its members.

AmazonPrime Video. Amazon does not report the number of monthly members they have, but it is estimated they have over 100 million Prime Video subscribers at a whopping $8.99/month. Disney+ is still a couple bucks cheaper.

Apple TV+ and NBCUniversal’s Peacock. Both are currently charging $4.99/month and offer a wide variety of shows and movies. Even though Disney is two dollars more, you get ALL of Disney and Fox’s legacy content.

YouTube TV.  Currently a TV and movie streaming service that’s pricier than others (recently price jumped in July 2020 from $55 to $65 per month).  However, it’s still the easiest live streaming service out there and one with the most channels and best features.  Plus, you can stream FREE full-length flicks too.

Final Takeaway


Pure happiness is the feeling ‘Disney’ brought about in me when I was little and still does today.

I believe they have truly nailed it when it comes to creating a whimsical world where you can completely lose yourself and feel like a kid again.

You will be able to watch anything and EVERYTHING Disney.  From their classics, TV shows, movies, and educational flicks, your family will be entertained for days on end.

Plus, they create an environment where kids can just be kids, in their joyous element.

    I was in high school when the first Disneyland was being built and watched the progress each week on television. I had seen Snowwhite and the 7 Dwarfs and several other Disney movies on the big screen in movie theaters. I loved everything that Walt Disney produced. Personally, I haven’t subscribed to any streaming as of yet. When I do I do believe that Disney+ may just be my best bet. Thank you for posting your article.

    Oh my gosh, thank you for this review and reminding me about Disney+! I don’t know how I could have forgotten about this service considering the amount of advertising for it that’s around! Forget the kids, I’m going to be re-watching Gargoyles, one of, if not THE best animated series ever created!

      Wonderful!  Hope you enjoy Disney+!  They do have the BEST movies. 🙂

    Hello lindsey! This an awesome article we got here,while reading this review Disney TV streaming, took me back to my younger years with me and my brother, we loved watching it.. Every single movie I’ve watched has been enjoyable. I’ve seen numerous Disney shows they own as well such as American Idol and Family Guy, both are awesome.

    I agree with you about the quality of Disney movies.  Families are fortunate as the monthly fee is less than taking the family to the movies.  As these new entertainment opportunities are coming around, quality is important.  Some movies just are not family movies.  The family fun a good movie brings is a time remembered.  Being able to choose the movie for your family or just you by yourself, gives you as a parent the ability to monitor what your family watches, at least at home. I know that some parents are not as aware as they should be of what their children spend time watching.  Thanks for the intro to what Disney costs to subscribe, and how it compares with other entertainment services.

      Disney movies are high quality films that are GREAT family movies to watch or even solo, couldn’t agree more.  Thanks for your feedback Sami!

    I’m so excited about the Disney+ coming to Denmark. I can see  It’s not on the list out here in Europe but I know it will come as the biggest competitor of Netflix. We currently use Netflix, we are happy with it but reading this post made me feel very excited to get Disney+. It will absolutely become the best streaming experience ever.

    • Lindsey Kovach says

      Disney+ will be rolling out into Denmark late June 2020!  We appreciate your comment and feedback. 🙂

    Disney is one of those companies that always does the right thing. I basically grew up with Disney’s movies and they are still producing amazing stuff. My nephew is just a few years old and is starting to watch Disney’s cartoons… needless to say, he loves them!! His parents don’t have a Disney + subscription yet but sooner or later they’ll need one 🙂

    • Lindsey Kovach says

      Thanks for sharing!  I think we will see more and more families with a Disney+ subscription.  I believe it will be the new ‘normal’ streaming service in households down the road.

    Hey nice article you have there. This article makes me relive the joy I got from Disney when I was much younger. The Disney streaming service is an awesome development on the part of the Disney team, to keep up with modern trends. The price is absolutely recommendable compared to its competitors, it would do me well to subscribe for the monthly plan, to help eliminate the boredom associated with the lockdown.

    • Lindsey Kovach says

      Thank you!  I’m glad you enjoyed it.  Disney knows how to continuously stay up with times and develop the best entertainment experience for their audience.

    Hi Lindsay. This is a well detailed review of Disney TV Streaming. While reading through, I thought about Netflix and boom, you made mention of Netflix. Disney looks 100% a better option when compared to Netflix and the likes. Those facts you shared are mind busting and truly surprises me. Disney never stops amazing me with their movies and now their streaming platform plus it’s cheap to access with lots of features.

    • Lindsey Kovach says

      at

      Awesome, glad you enjoyed the post!  While I was researching and writing the review, the facts blew my mind too.  It will be interesting to see what transpires overtime with the different TV streaming services available and how Disney+ compares because they are quickly capturing millions of subscribers.

    There is no question that Disney has hit it big time with their new streaming service. That shouldn’t surprise me as it seems the company could turn most anything into gold! The thing I like the most is that it really isn’t that expensive and when you consider the ability to bundle the four services into one, it’s a steal. It really starts to make you wonder why anyone would still go with cable these days.

    • Lindsey Kovach says

      at

      Hey Steve, I couldn’t agree more.  Disney is incredible at capturing their audience and taking their organization to a whole new level!  It looks like cable will slowly disappear overtime because more and more people are moving towards streaming services.  Thanks for your feedback.
