I’m told that it requires a Dutch bank account. For Dutch subscribers.Since it is launching in the Netherlands, I wonder if there's any EU geo-blocking or if one could access it from within the EU?

You're completely out to lunch. They have raised the price TWICE in the last 10 months alone. They are dropping licensed content at a rapid pace. Last quarter they posted their biggest drop in US customer base ever.It started at $8/mo and is now $13/mo. They haven't even doubled the price and yet delivered everyone tons of more content - licensed and originals. To say they "pulled this plenty of times" is a bit of a stretch.
It's funny, how in fact we end up paying sooooo much more every month, than we used to a few years ago - subscriptions everywhere, music, tv, books, audiobooks, apps, games - the total can be over $50-60 every month for the fun of it![]()
I have a gut feeling it’s something to do with Disney’s contract with Sky Cinema. Really hope it launches sooner rather than later!![]()
Thats frustrating it's not launching in the UK straight away. Looking forward to it as well, it's great its going to integrate with the TV app.
Stupid SKY TV ruining everything, first it was F1 now this!![]()
DisneyLife doesn't have some of the newer releases such as Cars 3, Incredibles 2, Coco, Ralph Breaks the Internet etcPlease be aware that DisneyLife exists for UK customers. https://www.disneylife.com. But that service will probably transform to Disney+ soon.
Disney already has streaming rights for all their Disney (and Pixar) content already in the UK due to DisneyLife. It's just Marvel and Star Wars that they don't (for now).
Something tells me it won’t be $6.99 a month for long.
Prices will go up after a year I’m betting, this price is to get people hooked before prices go up. Netflix pulled this plenty of times
Want to bet?
I give it six months to a year before they raise the price.
I don’t see the price going up in 6 - 12 months. Disney can offer a lower price due to the amount of sustained subscribers they will have, barring streaming malfunctions or some other ongoing problem.
That 3 year deal was too good to pass with all the wonderful content. Like you, I am glad I did that. Now we don't have to worry for 3 years.I was initially in the "who cares if the price goes up in 6 months" club because I would still get 6 months of a good deal. I could then decide if it was still worth it if the price increased.
I also locked in the 3 year deal for less than $5 a month.
That 3 year deal was too good to pass with all the wonderful content. Like you, I am god I did that. Now we don't have to worry for 3 years.
"The Mandalorian" is one of the first shows I plan on watching. As a Star Wars fan, I am full of anticipation to watch the show. Christmas, I mean Disney+ is taking too long. I want to unwrap my presents now.The Mandalorian and The Imagineering Story alone are going to make me very happy.
