They could also just add it to the cost of the rooms

An annual Disney+ membership without ads costs $160
That's roughly $0.45 per day

If you're staying for 10 days your entire stay would go up by less than $5

Disney+ gets a ton more money, guests get Disney+ for essentially free, win win

The argument would be that it isn't free to the resort.

They'd have to pay some sort of discounted rate to the D+ division for everyone who uses it.

To which, I say so what?

That would make it even easier to funnel parks and resort money to D+ to make it more profitable.
Funnily enough, this is the exact reason they won’t do it.

Major shareholders are not stupid. If they watch Disney+ numbers go down and simultaneously see TWDC announce free Disney+ in the resorts, they’d very understandably grow distrustful. You’re kinda already seeing stuff like that with Paramount and Peacock. Disney+ has to prove its own worth.

If D+ can be compelled to pay competitive rates for streaming rights to all their theatrical releases including the under-performers, I don't really see there being a huge difference in the resorts being compelled to pay for access to D+.

This is a nice change regardless of still needing to have a subscription. The casting system is super hit and miss.

Sometimes it's fine. Sometimes it keeps dropping in the middle of my movies. Once I stayed club level at a deluxe resort for four nights and it did not work at all the entire time and they didn't know how to fix it. That was WAY more infuriating than needing to be subscribed.

Did you hear they built a theme park and then 3 more at WDW?

The “connect my device” option is still available as of today on our TV so if they’re getting rid of it, then it hasn’t reached WL yet.
we checked into YC yesterday & it’s still an option on the tv. i casted my phone last night to see if it works & it did

Did you hear people need to come back at the end of the day and we paid for a nice resort specifically because we enjoy having a day in the middle to relax?

Seriously, is this where we're at now? You stay in an 800+ room and Disney isn't obligated to make the stuff in it work?
I’m so tired at the end of a WDW day that this is me with the TV on whether it works or not.

But, yes. It obviously should work correctly.

And they have separate houses in Toontown? Interesting marriage.

This was all explained by Walt. In Show business, television, film or Disneyland, they play their characters unmarried so they can always have a variety of roles, but in personal life, they are married.

Legit, this is the answer from the man himself.

I mean, their last name is both Mouse, that should tell you all you need to know unless it is a really gross marriage.
