Disney Issues Statement After Rollout Of Highly Anticipated ‘Disney+’ App Riddled With Errors Glitches

MAGIC KINGDOM. (THECOUNT) — Disney Plus is live right now and much earlier than expected. But the highly anticipated rollout didn’t go down without a hitch as thousands of users are reporting issues with the streaming service. The issues range from an inability to actually log in to problems watching specific titles.

The issues are likely stemming from servers that weren’t ready to handle this many consumers at once, and Disney is working quickly to fix them. Following a boatload of complaints online, the Disney+ Twitter account shared a statement regarding the outages.

“The demand for Disney+ has exceeded our highest expectations,” the company stated in a tweet. “We are so pleased you’re excited to watch all your favorites and are working quickly to resolve any current issues. We appreciate your patience,” reports ComicBook.

Disney’s push into the streaming market has begun with the company unveiling their new rival to Netflix and Amazon Prime. The release comes amid an increasingly competitive online streaming market, reports Forbes.

The question is, what time can you start streaming your favorite vaulted Disney movies, the new Star Wars live-action drama, The Mandalorian, and Avengers: Endgame, among dozens and dozens of other movies, TV shows and Disney+ exclusives?

More than likely, most people will start streaming the service at home the morning of the 12th or in the evening after work. I’m pretty excited for Disney Plus, truth be told. There’s a lot of great content to watch with my family, from all the classic Star Wars films, to a huge swath of the MCU, to Disney classics like Beauty and the Beast. There’s also a bunch of Fox content from the wonderful fantasy Willow to James Cameron’s Avatar to all 30 seasons of The Simpsons, wrote Forbes.
