If you want to have all your bases covered when it comes to the best in TV and film, you might be subscribed to a ton of streaming services, including Netflix [1], Hulu [2], HBO [3], Amazon [4], and maybe even CBS All Access. With Disney+ ("Disney Plus") coming out this year, you may have secretly wondered if it'll live up to its hype. With plans starting at $6.99 per month [5] or $69.99 per year [6], it might just be worth it to get your Disney fix.

The service, notably cheaper than most of its competition (Netflix plans start at $8.99), will showcase plenty of Disney content for you and your family [7] to enjoy. This includes the entire Disney vault [8], which features Marvel Studio hits like Captain Marvel, classics like Frozen, and even old-school cartoons like The Mighty Ducks. Plus, you can count on seeing fresh Disney series [9], such as new shows about Marvel's Falcon and Loki.

If you're not already tempted, consider this: Disney content will be exclusive to this service [10], which means you probably won't find it anywhere else unless you're willing to pay per episode or movie. Disney+ will also pick up family-friendly entertainment from ABC Studios and 20th Century Fox. This basically means nothing R-rated [11], so your favourite TV-14 primetime dramas may be up for grabs either on this service or Hulu, which Disney now has a 67 percent stake in [12]. The Simpsons and Once Upon a Time, both TV-PG for the most part, will arrive on Disney+ soon.

It helps to be a Disney enthusiast to appreciate Disney+, but you don't need to own a pair of Mickey ears [13] or go to Disneyland multiple times a year [14] to get something out of the service. With Disney+ coming out Nov. 12 [15], it might be time to carve out $7 per month in your budget. If anything else, we're keeping our fingers crossed for a free trial to test out its offerings before making the leap.
