What You Need to Know About Disney Plus

Last updated on May 27th, 2020 at 02:41 pm

Who remembers the good ol’ days of Blockbuster, and the other video rental stores? Those days when you actually had to leave your house to pick up a movie.  Now here we are years later, and with the click of a few buttons, there’s endless tv and movie options at our fingertips.  And Disney Plus (often displayed as Disney+) is about to become the newest video streaming subscription available. 

TV and video streaming has become a popular form of instant gratification in recent years.  Convenience is huge and oh so popular these days.  Today’s busy society craves instant gratification,  only to be encouraged by things like “On Demand” and Amazon Prime. 

 

I’ve been a loyal Amazon Prime customer for years.  I know I’ve been conditioned and spoiled by their 2 day (or less) shipping.  So now when I order things, if it takes longer than 2 days, I don’t usually want to wait–I want it fast.  The same goes for watching my favorite shows and movies.

TV/Video Streaming

Streaming our favorite shows and movies whenever we want to nowadays is a real treat.  My kids will never understand what it was like to be a kid in the 90’s and running to the TV when you heard the 90210 theme song come on the television.

Speaking of television, one way we’ve saved money as a family is by cancelling cable.  Instead, we stream through Netflix and Amazon.  While most things we watch on there are included in the subscriptions, we’ve ended up renting or buying a few Disney movies for the kids. 

Our kids have loved watching the Disney movies and have been begging us to watch more.  I also love watching them too because I feel like I’m reliving my childhood. 

But it gets expensive renting or buying each individual movie.  Not to mention, many Disney movies aren’t even available on those other subscription sites anymore.  

Therefore, I can’t wait to start our Disney Plus subscription!

I foresee many many family movie nights on the horizon.  Hopefully we’ll be watching some great Disney classics along with the many new ones from recent years.  

 

**UPDATE** :  We’ve been streaming Disney Plus since it became available–and we’ve LOVED it!  There is so much available and we’ve had many family movie nights.  And there’s so much to watch that my husband and I have enjoyed Disney Plus just as much as the kids!

Disney Plus also has an “Explore” page where you can search for a show or movie.  But what I think is really cool on this page, is how they have things group together in different “collections” making it easier to find some of your favorites.  Here are just a few of the many collections available:

Also according to Disney:

 

From Moana to Toy Story, Captain Marvel to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as well as hundreds of titles from National Geographic, Disney+ offers more of the best stories in the world, all in one place.

 

 

 

A few movies I’m hoping to find on Disney Plus:

  • Cinderella
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Aladdin
  • Toy Story 4

 

**UPDATE** :  All of these movies are on Disney Plus – plus SO many more! It’s been a lot of fun introducing our kids to so many childhood favorite Disney movies!  There’s not a movie we’ve looked for that they didn’t have.  We’ve been so happy with our subscription!

My family loves when I create food content - it me My family loves when I create food content - it means they get to enjoy it when I’m done taking pics and videos;) 

They dug into these Easter treats I made this week: Easter Bark (posted a reel of this yesterday) and Rice Krispie nests with Easter egg candy. 

The nests are a no-bake dessert and both are easy and fun for the kids to join when making!

And for an Easter outfit idea that’s not a dress, this Spring outfit I’m wearing is head to toe from Target. 

I’m wearing XS in both the top and shorts - I cut the stings off the top, and the shorts have an elastic waistband and pockets. 

I sized up 1/2 size in the braided sandals - they’re  cushiony and very comfy. (Seen in the second pic)

What’s the toughest challenge you’ve ever face What’s the toughest challenge you’ve ever faced? The greatest lesson you ever learned? 

For me, I faced one of my toughest challenges at 6 years old, learning the meaning of “life is short.”

I’d spent many afternoons that summer splashing around our backyard pool with my Mom, Dad, sister and baby brother. 

It was our first - and only summer, as a family of 5 before life was forever changed.  Soon after, my Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  He died a little over a year later at the age of 35.

His death not only impacted me as a child, but has continued to affect me in different ways throughout my adult life too. 

There’s a sadness with each milestone missed, birthday not celebrated and the wondering of what life ‘would’ve been like.’ 

There’s the worry in hoping my kids never have to experience losing a parent like I did. 

But through this struggle and others, I’ve learned from each of them.

I’ve found strength and resiliency. 

Having a positive attitude and focusing on what I do have has helped so much. I can handle hard times and still find joy. 

I am grateful for having a supportive family and friends whose love allowed me to have a happy childhood despite my loss. 

I gained compassion for others’ suffering through my own. 

I know that every day with the ones we love is precious and to be cherished. 

So if you’re struggling with something in your life, no matter how big or small, know that you are not alone. We all struggle - it’s not fun, but it’s part of life. 

This part of my life hasn’t always been easy to share. 

But speaking your truth is a brave and vulnerable act, and it’s how we build real connections. 

Plus, you never know when a page from your story will turn into a key chapter in someone else’s survival guide!

Thinking of you today and wishing you hope & strength in your journey. 💕

Who could use a little light today? “A smile i Who could use a little light today? 

“A smile is the light in your window that tells others there is a sharing, caring person inside.” —Denis Waitley

During my days working as a pharmacist, my former boss once referred to me and my partner as the “sweethearts of our district.”

I’m an empath to the bone.  It truly makes my heart hurt to see other people crying or suffering. 

I just want to run over and hug them!

And I used to do just that if a patient came to my pharmacy counter with bad news or a heavy heart. 

Sometimes the best medicine is one that heals the soul:)

Nowadays as a blogger/content creator I’m on the other side of your screen, not the pharmacy counter. 

But know that I’m here for you too! 

This is me, sending my virtual smile YOUR way! 😃
