What is Disney+?
Disney+ is the Walt Disney Company’s upcoming streaming service, intended to compete with others like Netflix and Apple TV+. A paid subscription to Disney+ will give customers access to a vast library of Disney series and movies, content from studios under Disney such as Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, and National Geographic, and original projects.
Disney also controls the streaming service Hulu, so customers have the option of purchasing Disney+ as a Hulu add-on. When the service is launched, customers can also get a bundled package with Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
