Today is the day the NSFWBDs have clearly been waiting for — Disney+ is officially live, if it’ll work for you, and the BDs are getting their first look at the app that supposed to have everything. Emotions are high as the BDs have been looking through the offerings and trying to figure out what they want to dig into first.
Yes, there were some technical issues early this morning as people bombarded the app that’s going to cost users $6.99/month and feature Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic products. Don’t forget that Verizon customers get the service free for a year. Or go this route: Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN+ for $12.99 per month. That’s most likely what I’ll do down the road as long as I can get college football from ESPN. That’s all I ask.
Disney+ appears to have been hit by some technical errors just a few hours into its official launch on Tuesday.
Some users who rushed to download Disney’s new streaming service were met with an unfortunate error message on their screen that reads “unable to connect.” The message, which appears underneath characters from “Wreck-It Ralph,” then forces users to exit the service and to try to reconnect at a later time.
Users began reporting issues with the service on Twitter early Tuesday morning. Many said they were being shown the technical error, while others said they were having issues finding the Disney+ app in Apple’s App Store. As of 7:00 a.m. EST, there were roughly 7,300 reports of problems with Disney+, according to Downdetector, a website where users can report problems on apps and websites.
