There has been a large rise over the last few years in streaming services that most people enjoy, whether it be Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime or even CBS All Access. Now, Disney has entered their hat into the online streaming ring, and it has so far been making a large impact. I myself have been using the surface, and have been revisiting some hard-core nostalgia.

When I was a little girl, I had a large collection of Disney videotapes that I would switch out and watch all-day every day, and now as a grown woman in my 20s, not much has changed. I’m still watching Disney movies nearly all-day, except now it’s on Disney+! The experience definitely takes up a lot less space than owning over forty videotapes set up in piles. 

It isn’t just Disney movies that are featured on Disney+ though, the service also includes Disney Channel series, Disney Channel Movies, shorts, Pixar movies, Marvel movies, Star Wars, and National Geographic! Also included are a few programs from Fox, like the Simpson’s! Disney+ has also offered a few original programs exclusive to the streaming service, including a live-action version of “Lady and the Tramp,” “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” “Noelle,” “The Mandalorian,” “Encore,” “Float,” “Forky Asks a Question,” “Marvel Hero Project,” “The World According to Jeff Goldblum,” “Pixar in Real Life” and “Disney Family Sundays.”

Disney+ offers its customers a free week to preview, as well as either a monthly fee of $6.99 or a bundle package including Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for $12.99 per month. The service is available on Apple products, Google products, Sony products, Androids, Rokus, computers and on Xbox One as either the website or a mobile app. I personally would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys all of the programs the Disney company has to offer, as it is worth the streaming time and the money!
