- Disney+ has a ton of new shows based on big franchises like Star Wars, Marvel, High School Musical, and Lizzie McGuire.

Disney+ is going to have a lot of new shows and movies to stream on day one. There are spin-offs, sequels, prequels, and even mockumentaries — basically, everyone will be thoroughly entertained and satisfied with the amount of content available to stream.
What is Disney+?
Disney's new streaming subscription will give members unlimited access to ad-free movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and 20th Century Fox. Disney+'s original episodic content will be delivered weekly rather than all at once unlike Netflix, so the experience will feel closer to traditional TV but without the ads.
How much does it cost?
There are three types of plans — $6.99 for a month, $69.99 for a year, or $12.99 a month if you get a package deal with ESPN+ and Hulu. If you go with an annual plan, the monthly rate drops a little lower to $5.83 each month.
