Of course, the parks worldwide were shut down, and with many being stuck in a lockdown, Disney fans needed something to consume that would entertain them during these unprecedented times. With Disney+ on the horizon, it was the perfect time for the streaming platform to shine. Instantly, Disney+ became the go-to streaming platform for many, with the platform gunning for Netflix’s top spot after only starting up a year prior.

Marvel shows such as WandaVision, Loki, What If…? and more have viewers renew their subscription for more, and Star Wars fans have enough content to drool over, especially with The Mandalorian coming out with a season 3.

Subscribers to the service will be entertained with an inaugural Disney+ Day fan celebration on Disney+, which will include breaking news, first looks, new trailers, exclusive clips, and appearances from Disney+ creators and stars.

On top of this, Chapek has also noted that the company is moving towards a more consumer-based system for success, which means consumer demand will dictate what is produced at times. We have already begun to see this with the surplus of Star Wars shows that followed the incredible demand after The Mandalorian and continue to see it with Marvel.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek has commented on Disney+ Day during a conference with Brett Feldman, managing Director Goldman Sachs for the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference:

“This will be an annual thing. But most importantly, what this is going to be, we are going to have new content released against every one of our key franchises so that there’s going to be this influx of new content that I think will be real crowd pleasers and things that they like.”

Considering the significant successes which we have seen with Disney+, it is no surprise to hear that Disney is dedicating a day to its celebration. So on November 12, get your popcorn ready and sit back on your couch because Disney+ Day will be giving consumers all of the content they could ever dream about.
