Is Disney+ Really Worth it?

I'll tell you whether or not Disney's new streaming service is really worth it

Is Disney+ Really Worth it?

Spoiler alert: Yes, it's totally worth it!

First of all, I'd be lying if I said that I had not been excited about this service being released for MONTHS. The child inside of me was screaming at the idea of having all of your favorite Disney movies and shows on one streaming service. When the time finally came to purchase the service, I did it almost immediately, and I could not even begin to describe the excitement I felt watching the Disney+ app being downloaded onto my phone. Now after using Disney+ for about two weeks, I can happily tell all of you that for $6.99 a month, this streaming service is so worth it for many reasons.




For starters, They have just about every Disney show and movie that I (and many others) grew up with (with a few exceptions that are missing, but I'm sure they'll be on there eventually). They have pretty much everything from the 1900's classics to the mid 2000's shows that I'd watch everyday after school. I've been having such a blast so far reliving my childhood through these shows and movies, especially some of the movies that I completely forgot about. As a college student, laying in bed after classes and re-watching episodes of Hannah Montana or the Suite Life of Zack and Cody have made my days so much better.



What else makes Disney+ so great? They have so many movies and maybe even shows that you've probably never even seen or even heard of. On my first day of using Disney+, I was literally amazed at how many movies from the past that I had never even heard of. However, I felt that it was awesome that there were now so many new movies and shows that I could watch and experience for the first time. Many of these were considered "classics" back then, and I personally think that it's wonderful of Disney to include them for younger generations to watch as well. Not only has Disney+ given me familiar content, it's also given me new content to enjoy as well!



Speaking of new content, Disney+ has also jumped on the same bandwagon as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. of creating original content for their service. Want to see a live action version of Lady and the Tramp? See a spinoff of High School Musical, aka one of the most iconic DCOM in history? Watch a new Star Wars Series? See how Walt Disney brought Disneyland to life and more? Disney+ is also the place to find new, weekly original content, and they also have some exciting things coming up with their content. I think it's safe to say that many of us; including me, are pumped for the new Lizzie McQuire show coming soon to the service. Disney+ doesn't seem to disappoint when it comes to new content.

I could honestly keep going on and on about how great Disney+ is, but it would not be fair of me to spoil absolutely everything about the service for you. So, if you want a service with Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, National Geographic, and even content from Fox (seriously, you can't go wrong with all 30 seasons of The Simpsons on one service), then I'd totally recommend trying out Disney+ (plus you get a free week trial-great bonus!).

To Disney+ itself, thank you for bringing back a huge part of my childhood into my adult life.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
