What you need to know
- Disney+ is now available for general pre-order in the United States.
- It's still $6.99 a month, or $69.99 a year.
- And you still have to wait until Nov. 12 to actually watch it.
If you just can't wait for Nov. 12 to roll around and for Disney+ to officially launch, it's now available for pre-order for folks in the United States.
And, well, that's it. You don't get anything extra. You don't get a price break, like with the D23 promotion. But you do have the knowledge that you've subscribed to something and given Disney your credit card more than a month in advance. So there's that.
