LOS ANGELES: With two young daughters, Mery Montenegro is preparing to add Disney+ to her list of streaming subscriptions, which already includes Netflix, Hulu and Amazon – and, when combined with her cable TV bill, costs her almost US$1,500 (RM6,275) per year.

Her eldest Victoria, six, asks every day when the new platform will launch, with its impressive catalogue of films and series from all of Disney's studios.
