In a world of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Go, CBS All Access, Apple TV+, and many others, is there really room for another streaming service? When it's Disney+, the answer is yes — especially if you have kids, or if you're a fan of Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar.

Wait a minute, you might be thinking. Aren't all of the Disney movies on Netflix anyway? Why would I need to subscribe to another service? Check again, because Disney ended its relationship with the streaming giant at the end of 2018, and titles like Moana and Coco are leaving the site as Disney ramps up offerings on Disney+.

So, what's available now that Disney+ is officially rolling? Here is everything we know so far.

Disney+ has launched, and you get a lot for your money.

Disney+ launched November 12, 2019. At the time, Disney CEO Robert Iger said on a previous investor call that the "plan on the Disney side is to price this substantially below where Netflix is,” MarketWatch reports. And they stayed true to their word: The price for the streaming service is $7/month. Right now, the most basic Netflix plan is $9/month, and that doesn't come in HD.

Bundles are even better.

Right now is the best time to sign up, because Disney is running a bunch of deals to get things started. If you're a sports fan or addicted to The Handmaid's Tale, the streaming service will be bundled with Hulu and ESPN+ for just $13/month. This makes sense because Disney already owns ESPN, and, after acquiring 20th Century Fox, it also took on a controlling stake in Hulu.

It's even better if you're a Verizon customer: Verizon will be offering all new and existing wireless customers on unlimited-data plans a free year of Disney+. A whole year! For free! In addition, Verizon is giving new Fios broadband or 5G home wireless internet customers the same deal. (After a year, customers will be charged the regular monthly fee, unless they cancel.)

You can watch it on most of your devices.

Once you get your account up and running, you'll be able to watch it on your devices from Apple (iPad, iPhone, the Apple TV app, and the like); Google (Android phones, Chromecast, etc.); Roku (both streaming players and TVs); Sony (Sony TVs and Playstation), Microsoft (Xbox One); and Smart TVs by LG and Samsung, among others. Originally, it seemed like Amazon devices wouldn't be able to carry the service, but Disney and Amazon were able to work out a deal, and you can also watch Disney+ on Fire TV Devices, Fire TV Edition Smart TVs, and Fire Tablets.

But expect some glitches at first.

There are reports that the service is experiencing some first-day growing pains. When the service went live, "People mentioned problems signing up, logging in, and streaming," The Hollywood Reporter notes. "Downdetector.com showed 6,900 reports of problems with the service around 7:30 a.m. ET and slightly more than 7,000 later before problem reports dropped off." The company responded via Twitter that the hiccups were due to high demand.

And apparently, if you're one of the unlucky ones to get an error message on the first day, you're greeted with an image of Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope from Ralph Breaks the Internet. How fitting!

Almost every Disney movie you can think of will be on there.

So, once you get it up and streaming, what can you actually watch? At this point, it's almost easier to talk about what's not going to be on Disney+.

In a phone call with shareholders, The Verge reports, Disney CEO Robert Iger said Disney+ will carry the entire catalog of animated films — including titles that have been in "The Vault." This is a huge departure from company policy. In the past, Disney has had this infuriating-for-collectors tradition of only making a few of its animated movies available for purchase at a time. The ones that weren't currently in print were said to be in "The Vault." It was always a big deal when a movie came out of "The Vault" — meaning if you wanted it, you'd spend big bucks on a clamshell VHS or a shiny new DVD or a Blu-Ray, whatever format happened to be in use at the moment.

In addition, Disney tweeted out a list of everything else that will be available on the site, and it's amazing how many original movies you haven't thought about in years are on there. Think back to your most neon Disney Channel days — it's all coming back to haunt you.
