Disney+ is making a name for itself even though it’s new in the market of video-streaming subscription services. Disney+ has ensured that its customer services are a match to the service it provides – which is important if it wants to attract more customers.
If you’re already using Disney+ or are considering getting a subscription, this article will provide you with an overview of the customer support services Disney+ provides its customers.
About Disney+
Before delving into the customer service of Disney+, here are a few details about the service itself. Disney+ is a new video streaming subscription service owned by The Walt Disney Company. You’ll find all Disney films and TV shows on this platform. This includes content from Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Pixar, and much more.
The monthly subscription package will cost you $8.99 CAD per month (or $89.99 CAD a year). This is significantly cheaper than a Netflix subscription – which may make people opt for Disney+ for their TV needs once it takes off. Disney+ is an ad-free service, which means you don’t need to worry about being bombarded by ads every time you select something to watch.
Disney has created some of the oldest films and TV shows. With a Disney+ subscription, you can watch the classics that shaped how stories were told over the years. What’s more, you can revisit your childhood memories by watching some of the animated films from back in the day.
