Just checked and it sounds like it won't actually launch till 6am which is fine. Not as fine as I'd hoped but fine nonetheless.

I believe the launch is set for 6 am eastern time. They have a timer on the site that shows 2 am Alaska time which is 3 am pacific. Either way I won’t be there for the moment it launches but I’m sure my 4 year old will be more than happy to report all the fine things she finds to watch once I get home from work.

Better plan for dinner in the living room Tuesday night.

I have it fine on my phone And put a bunch of stuff on the watch list for my daughter, but I tried to load it on my roku before work and it wouldn’t load there for me. Hopefully it’ll be loading properly by the time my wife and kids get up.

It’s not surprising with a launch this big there are bound to be bugs. Sometimes it’s best to start a little smaller and grow from there. Starting with so many anxious subscribers is going to be rocky for sure

Tried it on the phone, no luck there...

4 year old is going to be pissed if he's not watching the Mandalorian when he gets home

Drop DISH.. no need to watch a show that's not streaming at this point, unless the service cost is tied to your DSL fee.

Im excited for Disney +... but i have 5 kids

Dude, I would love to drop DISH. Here is the problem: I have only ONE internet option out here. ATT DSL service. Like, I said, it’s barely fast enough to stream ON ONE DEVICE. We have two SmartTVs, and my recluse of a stepson streams video games when he is home. He’s 22 years old, really good looking and NEVER socializes with his peers. All he wants to do is go in his cave(room) and game, which means that on weekends if my husband and I want to binge watch a show, we have to ask him not to game. If we had high speed internet out here that would be no problem.
The messed up thing is that ATT charges more a month than cable does for high speed. Our monthly internet bill ranges from 55 to 85 a month depending on how much we stream. Yeah, there’s a cap on the data, which is BS. It’s a line in the ground, not a freaking cell phone.

Holy smokes, I never realized that this film is literally Aladdin before Aladdin came out. Even the genie's dialogue, manner of speaking, and style of jokes are all nearly identical to what Robin Williams later does in Aladdin. Same with Merlock compared to Jafar.

I'm happy to see Mickey's Christmas Carol on here, too. Disappointed that Disney's Halloween Treat isn't, though.

The great thing about Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ etc is you don't need to commit. If there's not a lot of programming you watch on a regular basis, just let some build up and get a month subscription, watch what you like, then cancel and wait until more builds up. No need to keep anything 12 months of the year if you aren't going to use it regularly

This is exactly why we don't trust George Lucas creatively anymore. Looking at that scene in a vacuum now it's just a total disaster. That movie would probably be better off with that scene just removed completely than that abomination of editing that we're stuck with now. Might as well have just had Han yell "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" as he "dodged" the shot. What a complete piece of poop that scene has become.

I can send you the feeds for the Disney channel for free. Does that help?

When they are 18, they are out the door. 22 years old and playing games from his bedroom. Time to cut THAT cord. As long as my kids were productive and self sustaining they got to stay.

NOT judging, but trying to encourage you.

I forgot to mention that he does pay rent, which includes paying his share of the utility bills.
Sorry, forgot to mention that. It just seems weird to me that he would rather game and when he does get out, it’s to play D&D(with dudes). My son, who is only 5 years older, says “Damn ma, I love gaming but even I am not that big of a nerd”.
I don’t know, a young man should be chasing tail at that age.

I had no clue that this series would be tying into previous movies.

Thought it was “stand alone”

"Baby Yoda" is just what people are calling him because we don't know his race. He very likely has nothing to do with Yoda himself.
