The TV world is continuing to change.  With the success of Netflix, Amazon, & Hulu, more and more stand alone streaming services are popping up to supply content.

In some cases, like Disney, they've been essentially leasing their content to the aforementioned "Big 3," but have now decided, "Why not do it ourselves?  After all, we OWN the content."

"Disney +" goes live in September and more details have been revealed.  According to a report, the service will not only stream currrent Disney films/shows, BUT will also include the ENTIRE Disney vault of movies.

WOW!

I just think about all the video cassettes/DVDs/Blu Rays I had on bookshelves when our son was little that now will be available at the touch of a button.

Most of these streaming services are pricing themselves in the $10-12 range per month.  That's MUCH cheaper than ONE PERSON going to a movie!

If you've got little ones...if you love Disney...how could you possibly not want this?
