If you're a Disney fan, subscribing to Disney Plus is a no-brainer. There are plenty of shows and movies you can fall in love with, from old classics to new releases. And even if you're not the biggest Disney fan, there's a ton of other great content to stream on Disney+.

With so many streaming services different, it's hard to know where to put your money. In the days of cable, you paid a flat rate and got all (or many) of the channels. But now you have to choose based on your favorite content.

Disney is a gigantic brand, and there's a lot of information to cover when it comes to the content on offer in Disney+, pricing and bundles, and how the streaming service came to fruition. Here's everything you need to know to determine if Disney+ is worth your hard-earned moolah.

In this section:

Disney Plus: A Brief History

Unlike other streaming services, like Paramount+, Disney+ has a fairly straightforward story. Owned by The Walt Disney Company (aka the big kahuna), Disney+ launched on November 19, 2019. From the moment it opened, Disney+ was a hit.

There was already so much great content under the Disney umbrella, and with the promise of future content, subscribing to Disney+ was a no-brainer for many people. As in 10 million subscribers on day one.

To date, Disney+ has nearly 130 million subscribers, and it's only been about two and a half years since its launch. For a new streaming service, that sounds crazy, but that's Disney. There are people who would buy a trash can just because Disney stuck a logo on it. (And trust me, I'm not kidding Disney fans — I was one of those top 10 million subscribers on day one.)

How much does it cost?

Since the launch of the streaming service, its price has already increased once. It started at $6,99 per month, but now you'll have to pay $7,99 per month if you want to stream all the princess and superhero movies you want. Of course, you can also pay annually if you want to save a little money; that price is $79,99 per year.

Disney+ is a hugely popular streaming service, and there's a ton of exclusive content out there that makes it even easier for the company to raise that price. If the company can raise the price, it will. Although there is no clear indication at this time of when a price increase might occur or how big the price increase will be, it will happen in the future. Disney mentioned that the service will offer a cheaper ad-supported plan later this year, so down the road you can save a few bucks if you don't mind the ads.

If you're interested in Hulu or the ESPN+ service in addition to Disney+, there's a nifty bundle for you that will save you money overall. Depending on which version of Hulu you want, the price of this bundle may vary. If you're cool with limited ads on Hulu, the plan will cost you $13,99 per month. If you want Hulu ad-free, the plan costs $19,99 per month.

There are also packages available for Hulu + Live TV, but you'll have to buy them through the Hulu website instead of the Disney+ website. For Disney+, Hulu+ Live TV (limited ads), and ESPN+, you're looking at $69,99 per month. If you want to get rid of Hulu ads (at least on non-Live TV content), it'll cost you $75,99 per month.

What content is available?

Disney+ has a lot to offer when it comes to content. Across the Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel and National Geographic brands, there's plenty of content to binge. Whether you're looking for something educational about animals from National Geographic, streaming a Disney classic, or chilling out with a Marvel superhero movie, Disney+ has you covered.

TV shows

There are plenty of TV shows to do on Disney+. Whether you're looking for an old Disney Channel favorite to stream, a new hit series from Marvel, or something cute from Disney Junior for your child, you'll find it here. It's certainly not an exhaustive list, but here are the most popular TV shows you can now watch on Disney+:

The Mandalorian (Wonder)
The puppet show (Syndication)
Even Stevens (Disney channel)
Boba Fett's book (Wonder)
Enchanted (ABC)
Gravity Falls (Disney channel)
The world according to Jeff Goldblum (Disney +)
Wanda vision (Wonder)
Lizzie McGuire (Disney channel)
Boy meets the world (ABC)
Kim possible (Disney channel)
The Simpsons (Fox)
What if…? (Wonder)
Hannah Montana (Disney channel)

Films

There are certainly plenty of movies to choose from on Disney+, even just among Disney-branded movies. Classics like The little Mermaid, The Lion Kinget Aladdin to brand new Disney movies like free guy ou turn redyou'll have movies to stream for days.

Then there are many other great movies from the other brands acquired by Disney. From Marvel you have pretty much every movie in the Avenger universe, like Iron Man, Captain America, Strange doctoret Black Panther. Then you have Upside down, Forward, cocoet At the top! from Pixar and even fun and informative films from National Geographic like Betty White goes wild!, Free Soloet Giants of the deep blue. And, of course, all the Star Wars content you could want.

Plus, for some new movies under the Disney umbrella that are slated to premiere in theaters, you can purchase Premier Access to stream from the comfort of your own home during the day (or sometimes right at midnight). It's unclear how much longer Disney plans to offer this, as it appears it was just a placeholder for theater premiers during the pandemic. Sure, Premier Access isn't cheap, but after paying a one-time fee of $29,99, you can watch this movie as many times as you want as long as you're a Disney+ subscriber. If you think about how much you would typically spend at a movie theater for four or five movie tickets, popcorn, soda, and/or candy, $30 is a bargain.

While there's fantastic movie after fantastic movie on Disney+, we obviously can't list them all here. Here are some of the most popular movies you can stream on Disney+ right now:

Star Wars: Episodes I-IX (Star Wars)
Encanto (Disney)
Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings (Wonder)

What devices can you watch Disney Plus on?

If you stream content from Disney+, you probably do so on your TV or smartphone (Android/iOS). The service is so popular that you can stream it on just about any platform. Here is a list of all the devices you can use with Disney+:

Where is the service available?

Disney+ is available in over 50 different countries or regions in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. While there are several countries Disney+ isn't currently in, the company plans to branch out into other areas, and you can always check the website for updates.

Disney+ is pretty user-friendly too, with around 15 different languages to choose from in the app and web browser interface. Here are all the available languages listed on the website right now:

Chinese (simplified, traditional and Hong Kong)
Danish
néerlandais
English (UK and US)
Finnish
French (Canada and France)
German
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Norwegian
Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal)
Spanish (Latin America and Spain)
Swedish

Much of the content on Disney+ is the same between countries and regions, but a few titles may not be available to stream in certain markets. If you plan to travel abroad, you can download any content you want to see just in case.

How does it compare to other streaming services?

While all streaming services differ in the countries they're available in and the devices you can stream to, the two most important categories we want to compare here are price and content offered. These are the two main factors people will consider when deciding which streaming services are worth their money.

We looked at prices in depth earlier, but here's a refresher for context. Currently, Disney+ only has one payment tier (unless you want to bundle Disney+ with other services). You have two ways to pay, but it's for the same plan: $7,99 per month or $79,99 per year. To compare, here's what the prices of other popular streaming services look like:

Netflix: For the basic plan, it's $9,99 per month. However, most people usually choose the Standard plan ($15,49 per month) or the Premium plan ($19,99 per month).
Hulu: If you're OK with limited ads, you'll pay $6,99 per month; otherwise, you can pay $12,99 per month without ads.
Paramount+: Paramount's Essential plan (with ads) is $4,99 per month, and the Premium plan (you'll only see ads for Paramount+ content) is $9,99 per month.
HBO Max: If you don't want to see ads while bingeing, HBO Max will cost you $14,99 per month. If you're OK with seeing ads, it'll cost you $9,99 per month.
AppleTV Plus: It's one of the more affordable streaming services at $4,99 a month, but here's the catch: the service only offers Apple TV originals.

Although you could probably guess, Disney+ is the best streaming service you can get if you can't get enough Disney content. Whether you love classic movies, popular Disney Channel shows, or the plethora of new Disney movies that are constantly releasing, Disney+ is the place to be.

Since Disney has acquired several companies over the past few decades, Disney+ is a haven for fans of Star Wars or content from National Geographic, Pixar, and Marvel. As if there wasn't enough content under the Disney brand already, the additional gems that have been added by these four brands make Disney+ a complete streaming service. There may also be additional acquisitions in the future that will give Disney+ even more content gems.
