For some time now, Disney have been preparing to enter the streaming wars. Firstly, rumours were the key sources of information but now the Disney streaming service name was announced, the Disney streaming service price was given in US$ and the Disney streaming service launch date has been set. With a multitude of streaming services available to consumers an analysis of released information can be compared together, giving the consumer a high level of power in deciding on substitutes.

Disney streaming service name

The name of the streaming service has been announced as Disney + which was, to me, surprisingly uncreative. The name seems to follow the trend of adding the addition symbol to any name and instantly give the connotation that it is technological and innovative. Apple another organisation that have recently announced a streaming service, have also gone with the addition symbol but this time they even extended their current Apple TV service to becoming Apple TV +. Two very large organisations that made their billions from leading the world in innovations in their respected industries, even collaborating in terms of Pixar Studios to create many of the best computer animated films, yet their streaming services that aim to disrupt the market have some of the most generic names I’ve heard. How could this be?

Disney streaming service price

For a black log, library of Disney’s greatest hits and a consistent stream of new content (hey, that’s why they call it streaming), it will only cost you US$6.99 per month. With a similar price rage as other streaming services such as Netflix, it also seems plausible that over time the price would slowly creep up. The issues here are that the streaming model, which was so innovative in toppling the cable package monopoly on entertainment, is becoming what it was meant to destroy. With so many services to subscribe to the overall monthly cost per house hold for entertainment alone will be massive.

Disney streaming service launch date

The date for the streaming service has been set to launch on the 12^th of this November in the US. They have said that it will be alible in all major territories across the world, but how long we must wait is undetermined. With the Star Wars show; The Mandalorian and a slue of MCU tie in shows, I for one can’t wait to give even more money to this impressive monolith of an organisation, so with high audience anticipation I don’t estimate a long roll out period for the service to be accessible from the UK.
