              What is Disney+?

              Disney+ is the streaming home for entertainment from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic.

            That’s actually what it has kinda came to mean. Lots of Streaming services are called “Plus”, even if they don’t have a separate non-free version.
