When will the Disney Plus streaming service launch?

At Disney's April 11 Investor Day event, the House of the Mouse revealed that Disney+ will arrive in the U.S. on November 12, 2019. Disney+ will also land in Canada and The Netherlands on the 12th, while Australia and New Zealand get the service on Nov. 19.

At first, Disney Plus will be priced to pull in all of our credit cards, starting at the low price of $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year. That's especially competitive as Netflix has hiked the pricing for its Standard package from $10.99. Netflix also offers other tiers, starting at $8.99 per month and topping out at $15.99 per month.

Much more at link including day 1 content, trailers and all sorts.

This announcement came the day Netflix raised their fees for me lol, timing.

I'm seriously looking forward to this the content available and the price point is spot on although they really need to be sorting out the EU launch quickly because as is I wont get to see any of the day 1 content unless they are offering to other platforms.
That said I'm still excited by it plus if you have kids it's almost a no brainer.

This is going to have some blow back in the streaming industry for sure. Netflix should be fine but this may be the death knell for some of the other platforms, I predict a massive dump of subscriptions when people start to realise they need to manage their bank accounts better. Too may platforms start adding up over the year.
I'll probably dump Prime for example, it's barely worth it as is.
