The last time I wrote about Disney+, they were just about to launch in South Africa, and I was figuring out how to fit it into my streaming setup. Fast forward to now, and not only did I jump in as soon as they launched, but Disney+ has also become a major part of our household’s entertainment.
Changes to My Streaming Setup
With the addition of Disney+, I also made a few adjustments. One big change was cutting back on my VPN—the provider I was using got bought out by a larger company, and the price hike that followed just didn’t make sense for me anymore. Then came the relaunch of Showmax 2.0, now running on Peacock’s platform from the U.S., adding yet another layer to the local streaming scene.
What We’ve Loved About Disney+
Since its launch, Disney+ has been a hit in my household—especially for my wife. She’s watched every single episode of Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building, and Family Guy. The best part about Family Guy was that we got to start from Season 1, something we couldn’t do on Netflix, which only had it from Season 17. That alone was a huge win.
When it comes to the kids, Disney+ has completely taken over. We’ve watched Encanto so many times that I’ve lost count. But nothing beats Bluey—I can’t even say the name out loud because my middle child will immediately start singing the theme song. At this point, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every episode at least ten times over.
Reevaluating Netflix’s High Price
With Disney+ becoming the main streaming service in our home, I’m starting to question whether I should still be paying so much for Netflix. The last time I talked about this, I said I’d cut back—but I never actually did. Now, with Disney+ offering so much of what we actually watch, maybe it’s time to finally reconsider that high Netflix subscription fee.
How has Disney+ changed your streaming habits? Let me know!
