Disney‘s answer to Netflix and Stan – Disney Plus (Disney+) is touching down November 19, 2019.
So, what is Disney+ ? It’ll be a subscription based streaming video-on-demand service purely supplying the extensive Disney television and movie library – old and new stuff. Presently in Australia, consumers have to subscribe to a combination of Stan, Netflix, and catch random screenings on free-to-air channels like GO! and 7Flix. But Disney+ promises is to have it all in one location, including all the Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars collection, National Geographic, and fresh new content such as the Marvel TV spin-offs Loki, WandaVision, and Falcon & The Winter Soldier, not to forget the Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian.

Australian consumers can subscribe for $8.99AU a month or $89.99AU yearly – with Disney+ becoming available on nearly all mobile, Gaming and connected TV devices, such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Roku and Sony.
