So last night I watched an episode of WWoC (reliving the Sunday nights of my youth) about Disneyland Through The Seasons. The central piece was the opening of Small World (May '66). Besides making me incredibly depressed, it got me thinking about the untold number of hours of content available from Disney+. But yet, what is available in the service is such a small fraction of the vault. Yeah, I've seen a couple True Life Adventures but I can remember so much that is nowhere to be seen. The amount of pre-1980 content is a really small minority of what we can watch right now.
Does anyone know if there is a long-term plan to make a LOT more of the older content available? Especially things like WWoC? When? And more importantly, that it will stay up rather than cycled out in 30-60 days?
I get part of the reasoning. There has to be some correlation between video sales versus online availability (such as the Treasures series) and TWDC doesn't want to cannabalize one for the other. But if it means I need to spend more money on DVDs rather than wait for it online, then that means I change how I spend my money relative to Disney.
