Disney+ passes 10 million sign-ups on day one

One day after Disney+ officially launched, it's already attracted millions of subscribers.

Disney+ got more than 10 million sign-ups in its first day, Disney announced today (via Variety). The company also said that it won't announce more Disney+ subscriber numbers outside of its quarterly earnings announcements, the next of which is expected to come in February 2020.

Disney+ is now available in the U.S., Canada, and the Netherlands. It'll arrive in Australia, New Zealand, and Puerto Rico on November 19th and will expand to Western Europe on March 31st, 2020. At that time, it'll hit countries like the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and others.

Pricing for Disney+ is set at $6.99 per month or $69.99 per month. There's also a bundle deal available that includes Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu for $12.99 per month.

One thing that's worth noting is that Disney+ does offer a seven-day free trial of its service, and Verizon is giving customers on unlimited plans free Disney+ for a full year. Still, surpassing 10 million subscribers on day one is an impressive feat for Disney+, one that's likely helped by the service's aggressive pricing and deep catalog of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars titles.

Did you sign up for Disney+? If so, what do you think of it so far?
