Gearing up for Disney+

Written By Michael Wense

Here in the past couple weeks, I’ve been getting more and more amped up for Disney+.

Not that I’m all that excited to have another monthly subscription to pay, but what we’ve seen from Disney for their new streaming service (both in terms of their Marvel offerings and now the official trailer for The Mandalorian) makes me think it’s probably going to be a no-brainer.

And the price ($6.99 a month, or $69.99 a year) is low enough that it doesn’t feel like splurging.

Lingering behind my excitement, though, is the thought of having another batch of TV shows to keep up with. This age of quality content is incredible, but it’s a killer for trying to be productive. From what I’ve read, Disney+ will release episodes weekly (which makes sense, as they won’t have as huge a library of content as Netflix, for example), but still, it’s another service trying to get me to spend my time sitting in front of the TV.
