Disney Plus goes live - fans say "staying in doesn't look so bad now"
Fans are delighted that the streaming platform has finally launched in the UK after a long wait
Following a long wait, Disney+ has finally arrived in the UK—launching more than three months after it was first released across the Atlantic.
And the launch couldn't have come at a better time for Disney fans—with British citizens urged to stay indoors in an address by Prime Minister Boris Johnson last night amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The platform includes a wealth of classic Disney movies in addition to a strand of original and beloved TV shows, including new Star Wars series The Mandalorian, Toy Story 4 spin-off Forky Asks a Question and The Simpsons.

Another fan tweeted, "Staying inside doesn't seem so bad now. Disney+ is out in the UK now!" while a third added, "Oh, hello! What perfect timing to welcome you into my life."

And another claimed, "What to watch first.... apart from Bedknobs & Broomsticks!"
