> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > So what I’ve heard in the newspaper and on the radio is that Disney thinks they could have 60-90 million global subscribers in the next five years or so. At seven bucks a month, that’s half a billion in monthly revenues. But of course in some countries, people will probably pay less, so figure 250 million each month, or about six billion a year. Not bad. 250 million/mo. works out to 3 billion/year. ---

He means that if he has to start paying Disney directly in order to get ANY Disney content\*, he’s going to pass. \*Is it plausible to suggest that Netflix will continue to be given access to ANY Disney content, once Disney+ launches? Personally, I’d need to be convinced. ---

I ready separately that Disney+ will be available as an add on for Hulu (the way you can add HBO or Showtime for example) but don’t know if that will be the full $6.99 or not. ---

Does this mean you only watch them on Netflix currently? 😕 You can still go to the movies, rent them or buy the DVD. ---

[_The Mandalorian_ teaser trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOC8E8z_ifw) has been released at **D23** , along with a lot of other Disney, Marvel and Star Wars news. With more to come over the weekend. _The Mandalorian_ is a series set six years after _Return Of The Jedi_, so the Empire has collapsed but still remnants linger, and a Bounty Hunter who looks similar to, but is not, Boba Fett is roaming the galaxy. Stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Giancarlo Esposito, and Werner Herzog. ---

I also saw announcements for Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She Hulk shows. Also apparently WandaVison is sort of a sitcom. ---

Is this going to be Netflix style and release an entire series at once or weekly like HBO? ---

Unknown as yet. But I bet it used the Netflix model. ---

Yes, released weekly is what most people have determined. Possibly a double episode to start. ---

So much for my plan of just subscribing for a month, but could always just wait until the end of The Mandalorian season. ---

I just went ahead and took advantage of a deal to lower the price to about $4 a month. You can become a D23(Disney fan club) member free of charge and if you agree to buy a 3-year Disney+ subscription, they only charge $140.97 for all three years. I talked about it with my wife and we figure: - $4 has to be worth it on some level to get the Disney+ service - This locks them in to that $4 a month price for three years(no upping it for us until end of 2022) - if it’s crappy, then I guess we made a small goof Just a head’s up if anyone else is interested. I thought $6.99 a month was a good deal, but giving us the entire third year free, so to speak, is good enough for us. ---

Do you have a link? This sounds like a very good deal. ---
