Any word on whether the Glenn Close Dalmatians films are coming along with this one?

It is also worth noting that the Premier Access paywall is coming down (meaning Cruella will be included with the cost of a Disney+ subscription) on August 27. So this Blu-ray release is coming after the free to all members Disney+ debut.

Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon both arrived on disc prior to the Disney+ paywall removal.
