Is It Just Me, or Does Disney+ Kinda Suck?
Nostalgia alone isn’t worth $6.99 a month
We’re only about one month into having Disney+, but I’m having a hard time taking the service as seriously as I take Netflix, Hulu, or even Amazon.
One month in, and my household is already running out of new things to watch. One month in, and I’m still running into frustrating glitches and unexplained shortcomings.
There’s not enough to watch on Disney+
For whatever reason (probably marketing), I pictured myself swimming in a sea of titles like Scrooge McDuck Dives Into All of That Gold.
Yeah, that’s not happening.
It never occurred to me that I’m already officially over certain Disney movies because I had to replay them 50 times on Netflix for my daughter. (I’m looking at you, Moana.) Or that we already purchased many digital titles through Amazon. (Hello, classic Disney princesses.)
It also didn’t occur to me that some titles would simply be missing. Sure, they’ve got Frozen and Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, but Frozen Fever is nowhere to be found. I’m also far from the only mom frantically searching for Descendants 3 and coming up blank.
