So The Force Awakens is on this list, but The Last Jedi isn't? Does that seem a little weird?

[DisneyPlus] Founder's Circle Avaiable for D23 (FREE) members. Save 23$ a year for three years (US only)
- Thread starter BringBackSonics
- Start date
Presumably waiting for the Netflix deal to expire. Solo isn't there either.
So, this is weird. I was doing some light research on this deal and it seems that these movies will be returning to Netflix in 7 years time and be removed from Disney+?
Here is what the Bloomberg report states:
If this is correct, has there been any developments since this report about this impending removal of the catalog movies from the service?
This is just insane...
I haven't heard about that but if that's the case I could see Disney and Netflix coming to an agreement ($$$) and Disney getting out of their deal. That's just a guess tho. It would benefit Disney because they want to be the only place with their content. It would benefit Netflix because once the movies are gone they won't really have gained anything, they are better off getting paid and investing that right away into their own IPs/projects.
Yeah, I signed up but the deal is kinda "meh" taking four months off for a year won't be that tough to do, only issue will be future price increases that will probably happen.
I signed up to be a general member but I didn't get that special offer. I would imagine it takes a few minutes to show up correct?
It'll show up. Might be more than a few minutes, but I checked next day and hey, there it is.
It's not 4 months though; it's closer to 6 months. This deal is about the same price as 20 months of Disney+ which is 6..6 months a year cost at normal rate.
Yeah, I wasn't thinking of the $70/yr rate they're taking that $23/yr savings from for buying this three year subscription.

You need to sign up for D23 by 9/1/19, and Founders Circle by 9/2. The issue becomes if you don't get your redemption in 36 hours.

Disney said it could take up to 36 hours that you either get redemption link in your
Account or via email.

At D23 Expo they said the stuff on Disney+ is on there permanently, which contradicts that article.
Just wondering if anyone got confirmation emails saying you're subbed. I bought in the other day but was just on the site and didn't notice where it even says you have have it. After buying it I definitely remember getting a screen where it said "See you in November" or something and I was charged on my card for sure. I just don't see any indication of it on my account.
I got one immediately after subbing. I don't think you're the only one who has had some weirdness with emails not showing up or coming late though.
I both want and don't want to do this. I know I'll sub to D+, but I already sub to Hulu and we watch enough sports that having ESPN+ would be good, too. So in the long run, just doing month to month with the bundle deal and being able to drop our currently Hulu sub will still be cheaper than this.
Well, the way I looked at it was buy the first 2 years now (2x $70 = $140) and get a 3rd year FREE.
since the $23 per year for 3 years = $69.
OP
OP
Yeah that's the gamble. Especially if you are okay with Hulu w/ads and ESPN+ so the bundle makes sense. Also the cost of the bundle will likely rise by next year
But there's been rumblings that Disney might have some sort of bundle discount for FC members.
For us, even if there isn't a bundle discount, we use Hulu with no ads, so it still would be a deal breaker
Today is the last day to sign up to D23, if you do decide to change your mind. Tomorrow is the last day to get the deal

My biggest issue with that bundle deal is that you can't bundle the no-ads Hulu subscription. Is that still accurate?
OP
OP
Yeah that's still accurate, because the cost of no deal Hulu with no ads is 11.99$
OP

It hasn't been officially announced if there will be special bundle pricing for FC members, but I read some reports from D23 expo folks that CMs told them somethjng was coming in regards to that.
So that is 3rd hand information.
Yes I got one after subbing that also served as a receipt. It's basically three years for a few bucks over the price of two years, I couldn't not do it.

EST/ PST folks you have about an four hours to sign up for D23 11:59 PT. Need to sign up for founder's Circle by 9/2/19 11:59 PT
Edit: it looks like according to this it closes at 9/1/19 & 9/2/19 11:59 PT for signing up to D23 and Founders Circle which tells me that EST folks can sign up by 2:59 EST?

Folks you have 49 minutes left to sign up for D23, deadline is tomorrow 11:59 to sign up for the promotion
When can we expect to see a rapid roll out of their shows? This almost feels similar to how you purchase a next gen console on the day of release, but end up having to wait 18 months before any of the good games are available.
Why would you need to talk a spouse into making a $150 dollar purchase? It's not like you were buying a car or refrigerator.
I went ahead and bought this, then I realized I probably should've waited since they won't be releasing an entire season at once. It would've worked out better waiting for them to wrap up a few shows and then binge through a few for a month and then cancel. Oh well.
Budgets. People still have them.
OP
OP
Apparently even though the cut off was 9/1 for D23 membership, I've seen reports that people signed up today and got a redemption code. So if your looking to hop in, might be worthwhile to jump on this
Basically budgeting purposes as was said. $150 isn't a lot but things add up, especially having a house and 2 year old daughter.
I informed my dad days ago to sign up to D23 to get this discount. Unfortunately, after talking with him today he informed me that he forgot to do it.
Now it's too late to sign up if we'd have to wait 36 hours for a link to the discount. =/

OP
OP
Some people were saying they signed up for D23 today and also got the redemption link. Might be worthwhile
We wouldn't you want to talk to your spouse about $150? If both of you are off making $150 purchases all month without talking to each other about it, most people are gonna go broke pretty quick.
OP
OP
Films not appearing are due to contracts with different streaming/cable providers.
Like Iron Man, will likely be there day one, but Iron Man 2? It's available on prime video and epix
I want to say Star Wars was tied up with TNT or TBS, but Disney paid a fee (150 million?) so they could have it all day one
OP
OP
I'd use the Just Watch TV app, if it's a movie that's streaming somewhere else, likely won't be a day 1 movie
