Poll of the Day > You Can Now Preorder Disney+

(+) Yeah! (+)

As of today Disney has opened up preorders for its upcoming streaming service Disney+ to all. Before now it was only available to D23 members but now it is available for everyone to sign up and join the Founders Circle, although the D23 special price of $4 per month if you purchase 3 years introductory offer is no longer available. Instead the prices available for preorder are the standard $6.99 monthly subscription or a $69.99 annual subscription option.

Anyone who signs up for either preorder option will be able to take advantage of a 7 day free trial that launches on the service opening date of November 12th, and their credit card will not actually be charged until one week later on November 19th. Anyone who is disappointed with the service may cancel their subscription at anytime during the free trial and their card will not be charged.

You can sign up for Disney+ on the Disney+ preview website.

It's to boost their numbers so when it comes time for marketing they can say they had _____ number of users at launch.

True. If anything, waiting will let more stuff get on the site so you can binge more when ready...

The first week or so is going to be such a clusterfuck and not work very well. lol

I am interested, but I'll wait until I have a stable income. It's not like the content is going anywhere.

They own Hulu and have at least one other streaming platform that gives them plenty enough experience to get another platform right.

Its got thousands of hours of content available. Youll never be able to watch it all. If you wait for more content youll never see the old content.

It depends on how much you watch a day. Watch 10 hours of it a day mean you can get through 3650 hours of content in a year if you watch everyday. So, you probably could easily watch all of it. It would just take some time.

Also, you'd probably only watch stuff you're interested it. Maybe someone doesn't like MCU, so they don't watch any of that, taking away certain content. Or maybe don't like the old Disney cartoons. Or don't want to watch stuff they have seen already.

So, it depends on the person, how much time they have or dedicate to it, and what they actually want to watch and stuff...

Also, disappointed no "Fillmore!" at launch...

I wish people would stop falling for the preorder gimmick.

Aside from physical goods there is no reason for this service to exist except to exploit the customer base in some way to make more money.

Easily!? Do you ever work!? Or do you just spend all day watching while you work? Otherwise 18 hours, if you watch for 10 hours and work for 8, leaves 6 hours for sleeping and transportation to and from work, not to mention securing food and eating it.

Also, this list is from the Netherlands, so its possible that some content changes will be made for the US version.

^ I would also need to seriously re-evaluate my life if I started watching 10 hrs of TV every single day.

Yeah. I work. Currently, I work 2 jobs. But I don't haven't always had 2 jobs. But during one job, I could spend most of the time watching a streaming site at work. I could watch while I work, or just finish all my work fast. If the day was a relatively easy day, there may not be much work for me. We could usually finish work in an hour or so. Maybe 2 hours on busy days. At my other jobs, I could technically watch during breaks or lunch. When I was unemployed for a couple months, I watch probably more than 10 hours a day. When employed, I did get close some days at home. I don't sleep for very long, so that helped. I could get more than 10 hours of stuff if I watched at home and at work. That would happen when I was binge watching something. Work was close, so that didn't take much time. And I would eat while watching whatever. I still did other stuff. Technically, these days, you can just use an app to have others do your shopping, though. I'm not saying I will do this, but it's not hard to depending on your job (if you have one), and your lifestyle. I could easily get in 4-6 hours of streaming at work. Not everyone can. And I can easily do more when I get home. I'm not saying you should. But it wouldn't be hard to watch all the content on Disney+. Especially if there are things that don't interest you, or thing that you wouldn't watch, anyway...

Thats lucky for you but most cannot watch tv while they work. I work in security and the thought of guards staring into their phones all day on duty is laughable! Anyone trying that would be fired immediately.

I didn't say most could. I was just saying that it's very possible to get through all the content you wanted to watch. Even cutting that number in half to about 5 hours, that mean 2 years to reach the same amount. And the average amount of tv humans watch a day is 5 hours & 4 minutes (I used 10 because the math was easier). And, AFAIK, that's regular tv. Streaming might be higher as you can watch it anywhere, and watch what you want to watch when you want to, rather then waiting for a certain time.

And like I said before, it depends on what you want to watch. There's probably stuff you wouldn't watch, even if you finished everything else...

You said you could easily which means you either were talking about me specifically, which is unlikely, or you were referring to people as a whole, which is far more likely. Using a phrase like that suggests more than not, which is the textbook definition of most.

You're like 120 pounds. I doubt you're too critical to the security element.

Fine. Whatever. Most cold easily do half of that, then. Since half is the average amount of time people spend on tv (and probably more for streaming sites). Still does change what my main point was. You can nitpick all you like. But if all they watched was Disney+, someone could still easily get through all the content they wanted to watch...
