The Walt Disney Company is looking to take the world of streaming this year, as it prepares to launch its highly-anticipated exclusive streaming service, Disney+. Unlike other services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, Disney+ won't be relying on outside franchises to help with the launch. Since Disney has such a vast and well-loved library of Movies and shows everything on the service will be Disney-owned.
Thursday afternoon. Disney held a presentation day for its investors in which it revealed its plans for direct to consumer services, including when exactly Disney+ would launch. It has now been confirmed that Disney+ will be available to the public on November 12th.
While fans have many questions since the service was announced, like what content would be available and when it would launch, and the question that has been on everyone's minds. How much will Disney+ cost? We now know the answer.

When Disney+ launches, it already has the kind of content that will urge people to sign up. With its own animated movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, Pixar, and everything acquired in the purchase of 21st Century Fox, Disney has more than enough for subscribers to get excited about. When you combine that with the new original content in production, as well as the cheaper price point, Disney has a recipe for instant success.
There are also several TV projects set within the MCU reportedly in the works, focusing on fan-favorite characters like Loki, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, and Hawkeye.
The company is planning for millions of sign-ups on the initial launch day. If Disney sticks to its word, and the service is indeed cheaper than Netflix, this doesn't seem like an unreasonable expectation.
The streaming service will launch later this year on November 12th.
