  • Disney+ will launch in Canada and the Netherlands, as well as the United States on November 12. The service will cost $8.99CAD per month (or $89.99 per year) in Canada and €6.99 per month (or €69.99 per year) in the Netherlands. And as previously announced, it will cost $6.99 a month in the US.
  • On November 19, the service will launch in Australia and New Zeland, priced at $8.99AUD per month (or $89.99 per year) and $9.99NZD per month (or $99.99 per year), respectively.

Disney+ will be available on the majority of platforms, including:

  • Apple (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV, and fully integrated with the Apple TV app). Customers will subscribe to Disney+ via in-app purchases, meaning Apple will get a cut on the subscription prices.
  • Google (Android phones, Android TV devices, Google Chromecast and Chromecast built-in devices)
  • Microsoft (Xbox One)
  • Sony (all Android-based Sony TVs and PlayStation 4)
  • Roku (Roku streaming players and Roku TV models)

The only major platform missing is Amazon’s Fire devices, and Disney isn’t saying if the company plans on launching Disney+ on Amazon’s Fire devices anytime soon. It’s not clear exactly why Amazon’s devices aren’t supported, though.

    <p>But what is the cost for the US? You and Disney seem to have left USD out.</p><p><br></p><p>Also, I assume "Son" (in your platform list) is supposed to be Sony.</p>

This means they get all of the Disney+ programming plus thousands of live sporting events, sports-themed original series and award-winning sports documentaries from ESPN+; as well as Hulu’s award-winning original content and on-demand streaming library.)</span></p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#450365">In reply to safesax2002:</a></em></blockquote><p>Disney+ by itself will be $6.99 per month in the US or $70 for a year.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#450365">In reply to safesax2002:</a></em></blockquote><p>Probably only applies to a small portion of the potential audience, but they are offering a special discounted price of $4/month (with a 3 year commitment) to Gold-level members of Disney's D23 Fan Club as well as to anyone who attends (and signs up at) this weekend's D23 Expo in Anaheim. It didn't specify, but I suspect that basically means paying $144 up front for a 3 year subscription.</p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#450452">In reply to mrdrwest:</a></em></blockquote><p>Also journalists and users, they prefer a resource intensive electron app or js framework website running in chrome (basically the same)… To a fast, light and hw accellerated uwp</p>

    <p>I would love to see a Win10 app (UWP or PWA, either way) in the Store on Win10, or at the very least, a website I could pin.</p>

    <p>Surprising to see Australia get it before a lot of Europe, particularly the UK.</p><p><br></p><p>I'm sure someone will say this could be due to Brexit (and who knows, maybe it is?)</p>
