So Disney just launched their new streaming service that's going to be
competing with Netflix and they're calling it Disney Plus and this is a
really good platform and that's why I'm making this review because I want you
guys to be able to see if it's a really good value for you or if it isn't so in
this video I'll cover everything there is to know about Disney Plus and why I
think that it's worth seven bucks a month but then I'm also gonna go over
the cons as well because not everything's perfect but I do want this
video to be transparent for you guys so that you can make your own decision now
if you just found this channel I'm Jason with honest finance and I make a lot of
videos on different topics that will give your life and your finances more
value so definitely subscribe if you guys are into that type of content but
for now let's just go over the Disney Plus review so that you guys can learn
something new now I got to be honest with you guys that when I first heard
about a Disney streaming service I was not that interested because honestly I
own a lot of Disney movies myself and then I thought that they'd at least be
charging about $30 per month but I could not have been more wrong because when it
first launched I was shocked that it was only 7 bucks a month because honestly I
did think that it was going to cost a lot more than that and they had quite a
bit more content than I was actually anticipating and then the cool thing is
that right now they're offering a free 7-day trial if you sign up for the basic
plan so you can at least get it for free for a week and then after that you just
pay the $6.99 so at least with the free trial you can see if you like it or not
and then you can decide if you actually want to be paying for that on a monthly
basis plus right now if you happen to use Verizon for your cell phone plan
they'll actually give you one free years worth of Disney Plus at no cost to you
as long as you're a Verizon user that stays active so basically as long as you
keep your cell phone active then you can get the 12 months of Disney Plus for
free through Verizon with no strings attached now if you're not sure exactly
what Disney Plus is it's basically all of their content put into one streaming
platform and I'm talking everything I'm talking all of their movies all of their
TV shows in one place so that you can watch whatever you want whenever you
want for just seven bucks a month so for an example right here I've selected all
the movies from A to Z and look at all the content that they offer and this is
just a basic plan that we're talking about right now they've got all the old
classics tons of random movies from their other studios and then they've got
all their TV shows and short films so basically everything that you've ever
wanted to watch from Disney they have right here on their streaming platform
and that is all included and just a basic version now even though they offer
just about everything one of the only complaints that I have about Disney Plus
right now is just the fact that their newest content is not available on
Disney Plus so for example if you're looking for the new live-action Lion
King or the new Aladdin those are not available on Disney Plus right now even
though you can buy them on DVD but honestly I kind of expected them to do
that so it wasn't really a big surprise and with all the content that they
already have available it's really not that big of a deal they've also got
their own exclusive Disney Plus content that you can only access if you're
subscribed to Disney Plus and this is really great because a lot of their
content you've probably already seen way too many times and so this way they can
actually keep things fresh and new and then that keeps you coming back for more
now the only thing that I don't like right now about their exclusive content
is just the fact that they don't have a lot of it but honestly they're brand-new
and if you just give them time I'm sure they're gonna have a lot more of this
and it's just gonna get better in the future now one thing I noticed about
Disney Plus that's really cool is if you're using their mobile app then you
can actually download anything that they offer straight to your phone or your
tablet and then you can watch any of that content without requiring Wi-Fi and
that is really cool so basically if you have kids and you're always running
around town then if you have those videos downloaded on their tablets and
it's obviously going to make things a lot more convenient in the car because
you don't have to run on Wi-Fi so on your phone for example let's say that
you wanted to download The Nightmare Before Christmas and have it on your
device well all you need to do is just select the movie and then click the
download button that's right next to the watch list button and then it'll store
it right to your device then once it's finished downloading just click on the
Downloads folder that's always going to be at the bottom of the home screen and
then whatever you have downloaded inside of that folder is always going to show
up so that you can just click it and watch whenever you want and even though
you can download everything on your smartphone or your tablet just keep in
mind that if you're watching Disney Plus on your computer right now you can't
download that content onto your computer so just keep that in mind that could be
annoying for some people out there but honestly you're always going to have
your smartphone on you so if you ever want to have a movie
downloaded just remember that it's gonna work on your smartphone download it to
it and then you can watch it without Wi-Fi and if you guys have made it this
far into the video can you please just give it a big thumbs up if you guys are
liking this type of content that way I can tell if you want more of this in the
future thank you very much now another cool thing I want to mention about
Disney Plus is that you can currently connect up to four devices per account
so that means if you're watching TV upstairs on Disney Plus then somebody
downstairs could also watch Disney Plus and they're not going to get kicked off
the platform so technically as long as you're not using more than four devices
at the exact same time then nobody's gonna get kicked off of Disney Plus you
can also have up to seven individual accounts on Disney Plus so that means if
you wanted to have a separate account and then each of your kids have a
different account then you can keep everything separate and this is really
handy because if you have a watch list that you don't necessarily want them
watching or you want to keep your watch history to yourself then you can do that
on your own profile and then each of your kids your spouse whatever you're
using they can do the same thing as well so obviously creating separate profiles
is really handy because you can always keep your stuff separate and their stuff
separate and then nothing has to jumble itself into one account so for example
if you wanted your kids to have a separate account just select add profile
then select a thumbnail which they'll love to pick because they have a ton of
options now just name the profile two kids or something like that and then you
can set the account to only have kid-friendly content which won't allow
them to find something you might not approve of and then you can also run
autoplay which is great for really young kids because it'll automatically play
the next episode or whatever should play next
right now Disney Plus has two plans that you can choose from and the first one is
the basic plan which is $6.99 a month and that's gonna include everything from
Disney Pixar Marvel Star Wars and also National Geographic which is pretty much
everything that Disney owns and if you do end up going with the basic plan you
can pay for it just once a year at $69.99 and that's gonna save you 14
bucks a year rather than paying for it individually every single month so that
is a better value if you want to do it that way now if you want to get the most
content that you can possibly get from Disney then
I'd recommend going with the bundle package and this is going to include
everything that Disney offers in the basic plan and then on top of that
you're gonna get a Hulu subscription and you're gonna get a subscription to ESPN
for $12.99 a month and that is by far the best value that you can get from
Disney Plus but I would only do that if you actually want to use all of that
different type of content and keep in mind that if you do go with the bundle
package the Hulu subscription is the ad based version so that means you're gonna
have to watch a few commercials when you're watching movies and TV which
really isn't that big of a deal but I'm just letting you guys know that it is
the ad supported version and then I also want to mention that both of these plans
do not have contracts so if you guys sign up for them and you pay seven bucks
a month for a few months and you decide to cancel then that is not a big deal
you can cancel and there's nothing else you have to worry about Disney is 100%
family driven so if you're looking for more adult content or rated our movies
and stuff like that then you for sure don't want to stick with just the basic
plan on Disney because they're not gonna offer a lot of that content but if you
do subscribe to Hulu you will have more of that content if that's something
you're interested in now like I said earlier if you guys want to try out the
basic plan you can do that for seven days for free so what I'll do is I'll
just leave a link in the description below so that you guys can learn more
about the Disney Plus program and then you guys can sign up for it if you want
to overall I feel like Disney Plus is for sure a great value if you're into
their content and especially for being under ten bucks a month that is a really
good value considering how much they're offering all of their customers once
again I'm Jason with honest finance and I make a lot of videos on different
topics that will give your life and your finances more value so if you guys are
interested in that type of content definitely consider subscribing but for
now I'll just leave a few more videos that you guys can watch but thank you
for your time have a great day
