I am on the fence about Disney making yet more money from their stuff. They already make a ton from what they've stored in their 'vault' and charging 50+ to buy it while it's in storage. I get it that they need to make money, but I'm beginning to feel like they're going too far, considering they're now buying up nearly the rights to every single thing.

I love Disney+, and it's becoming one of my favorites for new content. My list of favorites includes the Mandalorian, Wandavision, Loki, and pretty much anything they produce. It has definitely proven to be a good thing: it's been about 18 months since this post, and Disney+ has emerged as one of the top producers of original content. They continue the stories of major franchises and they have all the classic content. I was skeptical 18 months ago, but now it's one of my favorite platforms.

I am so thrilled with Disney +. So many of my childhood favorites are on there and now I can share those with my young daughter. They have quite a selection and it’s not just the new stuff that today’s generation is use to. They have Air Bud on there which is my greatest childhood memory.

I absolutely love Disney+ but the only thing that made me upset was Mickey Mouse’s house of mouse is not on there. I was so excited to play that for my kids because they love Mickey Mouse.

The max volume on my phone with headphones is too low, not paying until that is fixed

I love it, more because of having STAR included. Just with Disney (including Marvel and Star Wars) would be enough for me, but it has so many films and series.

It's sad to say, but Disney has declined, but I think I'm fine. It's hard for me to decide what's best with things like this sometimes, and I guess I just don't mind.

I like it, the fact that you have all of the disney catalogue all on one platform. It's pretty good. Shame it's not in all regions

I am 71 years old and so I wait to watch all the Davy Crockett movies with Fess Parker. On Sunday nights the World of Disney was amazing shows and movies and those should be on Disney+.

Amazingly, the Disney movie Mary Poppins had Dick Van Dyke, and he is STILL kicking his heels and dancing. That movie was probably in the 70's.

100 and 1 Dalmatians has been done 2 or maybe 3 times. I hope Disney+ had all of them remakes because they were all awesome.

I saw The Sound of Music for the first time last year. It was wonderful. My favorite movie when I was a kid was Peter Pan with Mary Martin. It was a blast when Pirates of the Caribbean movies came along, and Johnny Dep played the Pirate perfectly like in the original movie with a flair!

I think it is great to have Disney+ if you are a fan of Disney shows and movies. It brings back one's childhood and then there is so much new stuff to treat well the child in you. :)
