fujishig, sign up on D23. There’s an option to sign up as a free member. You should be able to see the option for the Disney+ service in 24-48 hours after.

There's also an option to link it with your DMR account. I don't know if that helps expedite things, but it doesn't hurt to try.

This also says newly signed up, may take up to 36 hours.

I'm on the fence with this too. 3 years is long commitment. Sure I want the new content, but I don't want to pay for it.
But here I am, checking over and over to see if the offer showed up yet...

This is $4/month. Barely the cost of 1 Frappucino at Starbucks. Even at $6.99/month that's still a great deal.
I get that one trepidation you may have is that you may or may not have time to really utilize it if you own so much video content and streaming services already. But it's Disney, they aren't going anywhere.
But they have so many awesome sounding shows, movies and catalog content coming in the next few years. IMO this is worth it.

I see the banner for this deal, just no email and nothing in my account. However the details do say:

Great price, but the more I think about it, I might want to cancel YouTubeTV and do the Disney/Espn/Hulu bundle instead.

Just syncd my accounts with the free tier, so here's hoping they send me one of those early invites.

Might be an OK deal but what if I find out it sucks within the first day of trying it? I bet they aren't going to have any free trials for this either. Sad thing is that people will likely subscribe to this at least for a while no matter how bad it is, just like they did for a long time with cable.
I still have some issues with Hulu but it was a LOT better during my last free trial a few months ago than when I'd tried it previously, if they keep improving that and bundle it with this not sucking then that'd be a decent deal. Problem is with subscriptions even when they don't suck, I sometimes don't have enough time to watch enough stuff to make it worth the price. I figure I need to watch enough to average $2 per movie for it to be worth paying for. If the High School Musical series is REALLY good though...

I'm torn on this. It's a good deal. If it was $23 Off a 1-year subscription, I'd be all over it. But I'm not crazy about signing up for 3 years in advance. And $140 is a big nut. I'd almost rather pay $7/month.
More importantly, since I subscribe to Hulu, I'd rather get a bundle deal. I'm hoping there's a bundle or discount for D+ and Hulu No-Ads.

Not like this service needs me to shill for it, but this is what I'm taking into consideration:
1. This locks you in for three years. Most people seem to think that the initial monthly price is unsustainable and that they'll raise it. Whether they raise it in three years, who knows?
2. 140 is a lot of money, but in comparison, a year of "standard" netflix costs more (156).
3. You are basically getting the third year free.
4. The Hulu/ESPN bundle is 12.99, but doesn't seem to have an option for ad-free Hulu at any price. If you really don't care about ESPN, Disney+ basically only gets you a dollar off (6 bucks instead of 7) a month.
Caveats:
1. Service could potentially suck in the first few months. I'd think they'd want to come out of the gate fast and they have every incentive not to suck, but this is something brand new to them.
2. If you love ad Hulu and love ESPN +, the 12.99 bundle is maybe more tempting (though they can change that price whenever)
3. If you take a step back and really look at it, you can probably save even more money by just rotating subscription services, even at full price.

As an aside, reading through the description, you don’t seem to get a lot for the paid membership, do you? Is it just for people who want to go to that D23 annual event? Otherwise it looks like $100 for four magazines a year.

I know some people here are gun shy spending that kind of money upfront, but man if you're a fan of the MCU, Star Wars and even Disney, they have so much good stuff planned over the next 2 years. For me it's worth it. And it's Disney, they aren't going anywhere. This will only grow in the years to come as physical media slowly dies out.
Saves you $141 from buying 8-10 Blu-Rays that you won't watch.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but is there any world of a bundle that will allow for Hulu Live as well? Or would I have to keep everything separate if I use Live?
