Merv,
Yes, I have noticed that but only when performing a search for a specific
movie. When just browsing the various lists of movies and TV shows I haven't
found one which appears in the list but which is currently not available on the
service.

David,
I’m not sure if I pointed this out on here or not. But have you noticed the
very annoying habit they have where a movie will be listed, you will get all
excited about seeing that movie, you will go to play that movie, and you see a
message stating something like because of licensing agreements this movie will
be available June 2022? That is very annoying. They could wait a while to list
that movie. Part of me owners if they just didn’t want to inflate their catalog
a bit?

I absolutely love Disney Plus. It is phenomenal. It does have its share of
accessibility issues and I find this disappointing considering the promises
they made that their various apps would be ready for people with disabilities.
I have alerted them to this fact and I'm sure I wasn't the first person to
contact them. However, as we blind people often do I have learned enough
workarounds to get around those barriers.

David,
We signed up for the $12.99 plan which includes Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and
Hulu. We needed AIRA to help us with some of the sign in and activation both on
the web sites of Disney and Hulu and on the Toshiba Fire TV. And currently
Audio Description is pretty non-existent on both ESPN and Hulu on the Fire TV.
However, Disney is absolutely outstanding. There are over 200 movies,
originals, and series choices and the catalog is promising to only get better.
The quality of audio is good as well. I’ve watched everything from the Jungle
book 1967 to the new Mandolaurians series with description.

You can see why 10 million people signed up in just over 24 hours. Disney is
making a large content library available to subscribers. In September, we
shared a post with all of the
content<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cordcuttersnews.com%2Fhere-is-every-movie-and-tv-show-that-will-be-available-on-disney-at-launch%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cb6d5d04be44443f6904d08d76ac3048e%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637095258134317704&sdata=6KNKi%2F0eg%2FeZRRqAXcE6o6UvMad8DECqyKNzu8y1SMc%3D&reserved=0>
those testing Disney+ in The Netherlands were able to access on the app. In
addition to classic Disney content, Marvel movies, the Star Wars films, and
more, Disney has also created original content for the new platform.
Disney did not announce how many subscribers Disney+ has in total but Disney
has been accepting signups for over a month now. With this growth, Disney+
could be soon challenging Hulu for the 3rd largest streaming service in the
United States.
