I hope they add a Samsung TV app at or soon after launch. I guess we'll use the xbox until then.
i have LG so im worried.

I just cant see them not releasing TV apps. They will lose out on huge chunk of people. I dont think most people have a Roku. I dont.

If they want to be a Netflix competitor they will have to release on all TV stores.

I like to think this at least

I think they'll release it on every platform imaginable given time, but they are going to prioritize the most commonly used ones first.

hmmmm true.....ill hold out hope. I can do Roku but my TVs are hard wired to internet and would much prefer to use em
If you really need a streaming device the Fire TV 4k is often on sale for $25-$30. Those support pretty much everything.

I just really hope they get the site going again and I can get in on this deal.

pretty much everything... but not Disney +. At least not yet. The Amazon Fire line was conspicuously absent on the list they gave.

Heh except for now, Fire TVs won't be supported at launch.

I don't think it's going to be released for Amazon devices until they resolve their differences.


I Cant see this not being on the top 5 TV apps though.

Thats how netflix has done so well. its literally on everything.

Id say a majority of TV users dont use a fire or roku for netflix and hulu. Most sets have apps.

Disney has to.

but its a matter of when probably

I'd like to see some data on app usage between dedicated devices and built in apps. It feels like built in apps have shorter support lifespans which would imply that dedicated boxes are used more often.

I have a fire TV in the bedroom and I use a roku on it because even though my fire TV is only 8 months old it's absolutely garbage when it comes to apps. (netflix is about the only app on it that runs well)

It was a real shame given how good my TCL with Roku in the living room is.

how long would you sign-up for and pay in advance if you could get more than 3 years?

I think I'd buy at least 6... maybe more.

Signed up for D23 yesterday and still haven't seen the offer show up. I know it can take a bit longer, but I'm still getting nervous.

just got through.
went to the join general again to get to my account page and it was sitting there.

you can pay with credit card or paypal, which is nice since my discover card has 5% back on paypal right now.

Huh. I signed up for a general D23 account and don't have the offer on the member info page, anywhere.

I signed up yesterday and got the offer today. Grabbed the deal since it's too good to pass up. Mom loves Disney's classics and National Geographic. I enjoy Star Wars and Marvel so it works out real good for me.

It says it could take up to 36 hours but might be longer with the system being overloaded. Mine came in less than 12 though.


Good to know. I just called and she told me the 24 to 36 hours but said it can come quicker if you have a account that's older or like if the email is the same that's used in other Disney sites.

I have a Disney site account and the D23 site recognized the email so I signed in using that email but the deal didn't show up for me yet. I originally called to see if I could buy the deal over the phone. No luck.

This is already a pretty price-aggressive service. I'm surprised I'm now in it for $3.91 a month for a period I was already assuming I'd pay $7 for (or more, if it went up after 2 years or something).

Thanks. My Account just showed up for me. Thank you for using screenshots to help me out. Just in case, I looked at it through both the way you showed and jumping right into it through My Account but the offer isn't there for me yet. I guess I may just need to wait on this. I just have that paragraph at the bottom.

Try Firefox. I had luck there about 15 min ago
I'm actually using that now and just as the two replies came to me, I went back to refresh and the My Account section was there.

Thanks zulux21 and Bumrush for the help :) I think I'm just playing the waiting game at this point for the offer. Seem to be making some progress.

Good to know. I'd assume they were rolling this out to older accounts or other Disney accounts first

no problem. I have an app installed to grab sectioned shots for that because images can help way more than words :P
