I would be surprised if Disney can make bank on only $6.99 a month. They're already losing a lot just to stay competitive.

Disney+ launches November 12, 2019 in the US; $6.99/mo, $69.99 annual

Great price.
I'll probably do what I do for CBS and wait for a period when several shows I want to watch are coming out and then subscribe for a few months and cancel until the next year.

Pretty late launch.
Hopefully they've got everything there, seems like it. But I'd like to have explicit confirmation of stuff like Recess, Gargoyles, Hercules The Series, Even Stevens, etc.

Likely the same window as Netflix, 8-9 months after theatrical.
You're failing to realize Disney plans to do a discount bundles when you combine services. Combine that if they do with Hulu what they're doing to Disney+, that combo is a very compelling replacement for Netflix.
Idk about replacement for Netflix, they got too many shows I watch. But Amazon Video and post-GoT HBO are definitely on the shortlist of services that'll be cut.
Short term, Netflix isn't going anywhere, but Disney can certainly make a compelling reason for people to leave Netflix over time through Disney+ and Hulu by leveraging all the IPs Disney and Fox has. That's a huge well to pull content from.
I want to take a second and appreciate the fact that you can watch Avengers Endgame, Lion King, Aladdin, Star Wars IX and Frozen 2 for fucking $7. Like what the fuck.
I'll never forget my parents being pissed at me for a week in 1996 after I cried and cried because I wanted Toy Story on VHS so bad (it was rented at like 3 nearby blockbusters before you ask). They bought it for me and it was $30. $30 FOR A STUPID TAPE, they said.
They still remember this story so they laughed after I just told them about this whole streaming service. This value is insane.

Netflix may sweat a bit but right now that library is very kid-centric, as one would expect from Disney. Until they get more adult-oriented content I dunno if people will view it as a Netflix replacement.
The Disney+Hulu combo that they will push is the Netflix replacement. Especially if the bundle is cheaper than Netflix.
Oh man, yes please. I would love to see this finally get rereleased.
I mean there is still value in buying BluRays with quality in video and audio. But sure this is a good deal if you don't care too much about that stuff and just want to stream things.
You could be right on that. Is Netflix big enough to buy Warner Bros. or HBO or something? Think they're gonna have to make a big move.
I just posted about this elsewhere but your anecdote highlights how twisted Disney's pricing tactics are. This is a form of Pricing Anchoring where a high price conditions someone to think a lower price is a better value. The difference here isn't disney has conditioned people to expect high premiums so that when they need to, they can just drop a price like this and get everyone to sign up.
In of itself, putting $7 /month and $70/ year side by side is a tactic to push people to a monthly sub so they can make more money.

Holy fuck.
Only deal breaker would be if they have an aggressively bad family plan that doesnt allow account sharing.

They had all sorts of new original content besides marvel/Star Wars
I didn't even think about Spider-Man when I mentioned the X-Men animated series....holy shit.

All well and good for people in the US but what about the international rollout? How long until they get Disney+ in places like Latin America and will at least some of that content be distributed internationally through Netflix in the meantime?
Because if this content isn't available internationally in a reasonable timeframe, I'm torrenting the shit out of it.

It's interesting that their Marvel/SW shows are in the 6-8 episode range. I wonder if that's them taking the criticism regarding the Netflix shows to heart
