$70 a year for all of that - this is game changing. My monthly cable bill is more than twice that. I spend more than that each year for discs of 2D content produced by these different Disney brands. I spend more than that on other streaming services that offer me far less content that I’m interested in.
This is such an easy choice for me. I’m there on day one.
$6.99/month or $69.99/year
500+ movies, 7,000+ TV shows, 25 original shows
No more Disney vault - all will be on the service.

Perhaps Disney should be the ones to call themselves All-Access, not CBS, who in reality offers up a pittance of their vast library on their streaming service.
I'm in!
I just hope they also have some Fox movies too that are PG and G-rated.
Likely just a promotional price point to get the masses to sign up. Price increases likely won't be far behind once they've hooked people.That is a lot cheaper than I thought it would be...
Except that none of the people uninterested have changed their minds, at least based on those quotes. I'm still not interested even at that price.Man, huge difference from start of thread to end of thread![]()

This snippet from the Washington Post on yesterday's press conference states the Star Wars movies will be available on Disney+ on Day 1.I keep seeing articles about how the broadcast rights currently held by TNT/TBS are affecting their usage on Disney+. But I also see mentions that ad-free streaming rights aren't part of the package.
I suppose it's possible that Episode IX could drop on Disney+ for a few months (the length of premium channel exclusivity) and then get shifted to Turner.
Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy, for instance, said that “the first two trilogies, plus ‘Force Awakens’ and ‘Rogue One’ ” will be available on Day One of Disney+, with "remaining titles to come within the first year, including ‘Star Wars: Episode IX.’ ”
Marvel head Kevin Feige, meanwhile, unveiled details of a “What If” series that will ask such questions as what if Peggy Carter took the serum instead of Steve Rogers. “Captain Marvel” will be available on Day One of Disney+, along with “Iron Man” and other golden oldies, Feige said.

I edited this thread's title to indicate the official name for this new streaming service as well as its start date.
A little too much, but whatever.Thread title changed, feel free to edit as you see fit tho @Robert Crawford
Scott,Even at the announced price, I am still not that interested. However, I have never been a big Disney fan, so I am not the target audience. Most of their content I may be interested in has been acquired (Pixar, Lucas Films, Marvel). I may pay for a month if it's the only way to see one of their new releases, but I cannot see being a continual subscriber.
I'm curious to see if they're going to broadcast the original Mickey Mouse Club, the original episodes of Disneyland/Walt Disney Presents, and if they'll feature some of the feature movies in HD from the 1940s and 1950s that haven't made it to Blu-ray yet. That will determine whether I subscribe or not. The price is certainly right.
