Well over a year ago now, Disney Plus announced the company’s plans to launch its own streaming service that would compete directly with services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and plenty of others. Disney Plus formally launched late last year and quickly became one of the most popular streaming services in existence.

What is Disney Plus?

Disney Plus is your one-stop-shop or all your favorite Disney Content. It’s not just Disney, there’s also tons of content from brands including Pixar, Marvel Studios, National Geographic, and Star Wars universe. There’s even some content from the Disney-owned Fox network, including the vast majority of Simpsons episodes.

For now, most of the content consists of Disney’s massive library of pre-existing shows and movies. This includes newer content as well as Disney classics straight from the Disney Vault. Of course original content is also part of the plan, and there are already some great exclusives to be found here — including the highly popular Star Wars show, The Mandalorian.

Is Disney Plus worth it? 

Is Disney Plus worth it? Absolutely! Disney Plus represents enormous value for consumers, especially families. Instead of paying individually for all your favorite Disney movies or shows, Disney Plus gives you access to its entire library for a monthly fee. Disney Plus is also being very aggressive with adding highly anticipated new Disney movies to its library relatively soon after they leave the theaters. For example, you can already get Frozen 2 or Onward on Disney Plus!

Of course if you don’t have kids and aren’t a Disney fan, you won’t find that much here worth getting. Most of the content is family friendly, so more mature options just can’t be found.
