Better late than never I guess, let's see if they deliver though.
I kinda feel like we're all just beta testing this and the real launch of this is when it goes live across Europe in March.
I wonder when Netflix will lose the rights to Once Upon a Time. Despite the rough patches that show went through/devolved into, I can see it being different enough to be appealing to older audiences.
Then again, and with where some of the places that show went with Pan and such, they may just shove it on to Hulu.

I'll have to download it while playing Fallen Order and see if that works better. PS4 app was great early on, but now I can't even get any HD to be listed, and it's doing the aforementioned freezing when it decides to change to whatever resolution a minute or so in to whatever I try to watch.
I don't like that Disney+ doesn't remember what episode I last watched.
I do wonder if it's for request a new one (i.e. I would like to see Avatar and PoTA extended on a TV series, animated and live action) or something from the library that's not in the service yet. Regardless Imma go with
Planet of the apes
Gone in 60 seconds
Wild Hogs

This releases on Tuesday here in Aussieland - very excited to add it to my list of subscriptions alongside Netflix, Amazing Prime and AppleTV+

Jesus christ is there anyway to restart an episode on the apple tv?!? Do i have to rewind like a VHS tape??
I'm trying to see what Fox stuff is already on here. Here are my findings so far:
The Simpsons (series)
The Simpsons Movie
Avatar (movie)
Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas (mini movie)
Ice Age: The Great EGG-Scapade (mini movie)
And to my surprise looking at the OP there's going to be an Ice Age mini series!? :O So we have our first Disney X Blue Sky creation? GOD this will be so surreal if it's titled Disney Ice Age or something! LOL
Edit: AND a Rio show as well apparently!
The Ice Age show is seemingly based on Buck (from IA3 and 5), and the Rio show is based on the yellow canary and cardinal pair Nico and Pedro from both films (I think a Nigel-starred show would've been way cooler but that's just me).

The first 3 Home Alone movies are on it as well. And Thumbelina (which makes it weird that Anastasia is not).
Requested the Muppet Show and the original Muppet Babies along with the 1966 Marvel Super Heroes cartoon.
Is Disney having issues with Dolby Vision/HDR? I can't seem to get movies or shows I watch to stream in 4k. Dolby Vision worked fine for me on Wednesday when I watched Mandalorian and now I'm trying to watch the 2nd episode and it wants to stream in regular HD. Tried a few other movies and shows and same results. Switched over to the Netflix app and loaded up some Dolby Vision content and it works great so I know it's not the TV. Anyone else having this issue?
Anastasia has rights with HBO Now/Go/Amazon Prime/HBO+Hulu until god knows when.
AHHH I love Thumbelina! OH MY GOD we actually have a Don Bluth film! O_o But wait, I didn't know Fox had Thumbelina? They became Bluth's distributor some years back (see all the DVD and Blu-rays of them), but does Disney now actually own the film?
I am guessing Disney renames Blue Sky to Disney's Blue Sky in the next 5 years after they streamline the process there.
There's more. The biggest FOX properties other than Simpsons on Disney+ that you didn't mention are the Home Alone series, The Sound of Music, the original Miracle of 34th Street. Also some smaller ones like Never Been Kissed and The Sandlot.
Yeah, there's a decent amount of Fox stuff on there already.
Rookie of the Year (1993) and Journey to the Center of Earth (1959) are also 20th Century Fox films available on Disney+

This seems to be a glitch with whatever app you're using because I can see everything on both my iPhone (which previously was missing a bunch of entire seasons when I checked on launch day) and my PC. The only Simpsons episode not listed is the one they chose not to make available, S3E1 with Michael Jackson.

It's insane that it doesn't do this. No indication of what episodes you've already watched, and no "Continue Watching" section so you can easily access any series/movies you started. These are BEAR NECESSITIES for a streaming service.
Also no notification when a new episode of a series you've been watching is added. How would I know there was a new Goldblum episode unless I check its specific page daily? Come on!

I got a notification on my phone for a new episode of Mando last night.
As for continue watching, the threadmarks have your answer.
I see, thank you! What a kind OP you are.
I definitely don't want to turn on phone notifications though, I'd want a notification within the app like Netflix has.
My kid goes to me this morning "Daddy, they changed another movie, not just star wars!"
I'm like, "What???"
Kid starts laughing and shows me the splash screen for the first Toy Story movie, which has Jessie on it.
(Obviously they didn't change the movie, but you get it considering how bare the UI is at launch)

I just realized I'll finally be able to watch both the Ducktales reboot and Legend of the Three Caballeros.
Neat.

Then you should make a suggestion to D+ about what you want. I'm assuming those things are coming but might as well suggest them anyway.
I'm outraged that one of my favorite Disney originals is not on the service......
The Garbage Picking, Field Goal Kicking, Philadelphia Phenomenon..... Starring Tony Danza.

1. At least they finally updated the big banner at the top of the main page.
2. Still hasn't done the same for their other originals that scroll through that banner.
3. Doesn't indicate it on any of the thumbnails in any section.
4. Doesn't bump those shows to the top of the watch list indicating new episodes are available.
5. I've already made all these suggestions and so should everyone else.
Having a weird issue with HDR playback. I have two of the exact same Sony TV in our house, both with great connections to our google Wifi mesh network. One gets 4K/HDR with Disney+ every time, and one cant seem to trigger HDR at all- and often seems to start playback at low resolution, suggesting there's a bitrate issue even though connection is great. No issues with Netflix 4K/HDR. Anyone experiencing anything similar? I've already tried clearing cache, deleting/reinstalling app, moving google mesh access point, etc.
Okay, so maybe not just me! What's weird is that the other TV gets HDR at the same time on the same content. Have tried muppets Christmas Carol so it's not just a demand issue with mandalorian 🤣
EDIT: well, now I'm not getting HDR on either set. Maybe they were on different app versions before.

The Disney + app on my Samsung 7series is wonky.....if I watch a episode and turn it off in the middle, it doesn't resume when ever I go back to the episode, it restarts all over again T_T annoying as fuck..not to mention when I watched mandolarian Last night, it paused twice and wouldn't resume playing until I turned the app off.....
Funny enough the PS4 app doesn't do this but I have a base PS4 does hdr, but I don't think it can output at 4k :/

I keep getting app updates on several devices but all the same problems still exist. This really feels like it should have been a beta, not a trial, because as far as trials go this had the opposite effect on me than what I believe it is they wanted. I went from excited for the service to not really giving a shit about it. Part of that obviously comes down to the lack of interesting new content but a lot of it has to do with what a clusterfuck of a launch this has been. I can't even use the PS4 app because it never hits 1080p and more often than not the video freezes and audio continues playing. Contrasted with Apple TV, a service I thought I'd hate, Apple TV has been amazing. Best video/audio quality of any service bar none. It also helps that I'm enjoying their shows. It's also funny that I need the Apple TV app to make the Disney Plus app remotely useful because it actually keeps track of where I am in a series on Disney Plus.
I am sure it's been posted, but several series are out of order, very much so, as I discovered trying to watch DuckTales today. Here's a tweet from a writer with the correct order:
Found out why Roku wasn't displaying at 4k/hdr for me. Disney+ only displays 4k/hdr if your Roku display settings are at "4K HDR at 60Hz". Mine was at 4K HDR at 30Hz, which worked fine for 4k/hdr on Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, etc., but Disney+ needs 60Hz. I switched to an input that provides 60Hz on my receiver and now see everything in 4k/HDR/Atmos.
Maybe this has already been covered, but if not hopefully it can help someone in a similar position.
Yeah I think this is most TVs. Only half the HDMI ports will support HDR. You can usually tell by looking at menu settings and HDMI 2 options are locked out if you're using a 4k30hz port.
FYI second season had its order fixed and the rest of the episodes listed it's only the first season that's out of order
Has anyone had an issue with content playing in the incorrect language? Mandalorian Ep 2 plays in German (I believe) on my Roku, with no way to change it. If I try it through the website, it's in English. The same thing happened with Pixar in Real Life, but all other content I've tried has been in English.
