Posted: Wednesday May 10, 2023 4:37pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney CEO Bob Iger announced at today's quarterly earnings call that the company will move to a 'one app' experience for domestic customers.

The Disney+ app will be come home to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. All three services will continue to be available as standalone options for subscribers to purchase.

Iger said the movie, "is a logical projection of DTC offerings that will provide greater opportunities for advertisers while giving bundle subscribers access to more robust and streamlined content resulting in greater audience engagement and ultimately leading to more unified streaming experience."

The new 'one app' experience will debut before the end of 2023.

The linear channels make sense, I’d have Star Wars on in the background running while cleaning the house

Yes I'm aware. They do it on their DisneyXD and Marvel Youtube channels with several old shows.

It's basically just a playlist. I'd would love a feature to create our own playlist. And especially to be able to load it with music videos.

Just a guess, but I'd imagine they have one or more channels for each of the verticals, including NatGeo and the docuseries like the Imagineering and Parks series.

Id love to see some channels that were always showing stuff like documentaries as well.

D+ will turn into even more of a babysitter with these channels.
