Disney+!

I'm so happy Disney+ is now in the Philippines!

I've actually been quite bummed for a while now because Disney+ wasn't available here. Since Star Wars and Marvel are now part of Disney, there are so many movies and series that I want to see to which I don't have access. I became even more frustrated when Disney bought Fox because all the Fox channels disappeared from Sky Cable and many of the shows I watch were on Fox.

As such, when the news broke about Disney+ being available in the Philippines, I became really excited. After checking the packages, I immediately told my family not to subscribe anymore because I was going to the get the premium subscription and share it with them (premium allows installation in up to 7 devices and 4 simultaneous users). A friend shared a GCash promo, offering a 22% discount for payments made before the official launch on November 17 so I naturally snatched it up.

A great surprise was that Disney+ actually became available on Nov 16, a day before their supposed launch date. Once my friend told me it was available, I installed it in my phone and in my Smart TV. The first thing I watched? Return of the Jedi haha. I really am a Star Wars fan!

I had many things to do at home over the last few days so I couldn't watch stuff I hadn't seen yet. Instead, I decided to play films I had seen before: Aladdin, the Emperor's New Groove, Incredibles 2, and Cars. I did find enough time to see Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings which was fun to watch. I'm also really happy that one of my favorite TV shows, 9-1-1, is on. Yahoo! I can now catch up on the seasons that weren't shown in the Philippines in the last couple of years.

There are so many things I want to see, including Star Wars series like The Mandalorian and Andor, Disney shows like Raya and the Last Dragon and The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, and Pixar movies like Soul and Onward, among many others. There's no rush to see everything, though. I'm just really happy Disney+ is finally here.
