Disney+ is finally here! The most anticipated streaming service launch since…well, since streaming services started launching is off to a flying start. Not only does Disney+ offer all the family entertainment you’ve come to expect from the home of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and friends, it also has an arsenal of blockbuster movies, sci-fi, adventure, and much more available at the touch of a button. With Disney+, you’ll have instant access to classic Disney animated movies, the MCU and other Marvel TV shows, the Star Wars saga (including the franchise’s first-ever live-action TV series, The Mandalorian), and much more which you can learn and know more from the TrialOwl website!
This new deal comes a few days after we learned Disney+ has just started offering new 1-year subscription gift cards that you can send to friends and loved ones. You can buy the 1-year cards for $69.99, which actually works out to around $5.83/month (which is a little less than the normal $6.99/month subscription price for the streamer). And Disney has also just rolled out yet another deal to try and enlist new subscribers to take advantage of the service, which offers a library of more than 500 movies and almost 7,500 TV episodes:
If you happen to be a member of Delta Airlines’ SkyMiles loyalty program, Disney is extending this offer just for you. All you have to do is visit DisneyPlus.com/Delta, and you have the opportunity to sign up for Disney+ — after which you’ll get to enjoy the service free basically through the end of this month. This limited-time offer includes an extended 14-day free trial, after which the standard rate of $6.99/month kicks in. Don’t wait around to subscribe, though, because you’ve only got until January 31, 2020, to redeem the offer.
The Disney plus trial offers is available on the standard membership and is a good way of testing the waters if you’re unsure about grabbing a full Disney Plus sign-up. And even if you don’t continue your membership in the end, there’s more than enough to keep you busy during the trial itself. The service offers hundreds of shows, movies, documentaries, and more, so you won’t be short of things to watch. That glut of content isn’t slowing down. We’re due some Marvel miniseries like Falcon and the Winter Soldier in the near future, The Mandalorian Season 2 will arrive by Fall 2020, and an Obi-Wan series starring Ewan McGregor is also on the cards.
Where is Disney Plus available right now?
Today, Disney+ is available in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand. The next phase of expansion isn’t scheduled to take place until the end of March. Disney has outlined its broad rollout plans, which include the following targets:
- March 31, 2020: United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Spain
- The first half of 2020: Other western European countries
- The first half of 2021: Eastern European countries
- Throughout 2020-2021: Asia-Pacific countries
- The first half of 2020: Latin America
Unfortunately, local laws forbid some of the content — and there are years and years of existing content deals that have to expire in some territories — which makes it harder for a more rapid expansion of the service. Rest assured, Disney wants your money, so Disney+ should arrive where you live as quickly as Disney can manage it.
