So Disney+ Arrived Today With Loads Of Glitches

You'd think that with all of the streaming options available on planet Earth, that the launch of a new service would go seamless. Unfortunately, if you had signed up for Disney+ and were planning on streaming Even Stevens episodes or Pixar's Ratatouille today, you were soon met with one frustrating, but very cute technical error image from Wreck-It Ralph.

After an unexpected number of Disney fans in the United States and Canada caused the new service to glitch, many subscribers took to Twitter to air out their feelings. In just a short time, #DisneyPlusFail and #DisneyPlusDown became hashtags and places of refuge for users to discuss all of the technical difficulties each their devices faced while attempting to use the new service. Below is a collection of some of the best and funniest reactions to the Disney+ drama. Hey, it's a streaming world after all!

 
First came the announcement from the brand's own Twitter account.

And then came the questioning of whether or not other people were also dealing with glitches.

Even though the service wasn't working, many couldn't help but point how much they loved the error message on their screen.

Ok, so I’m sad my disneyplus</a> is not working, but the error message is really adorable!! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DisneyPlus?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DisneyPlus</a> <a href="https://t.co/S9SWLwSjXy">pic.twitter.com/S9SWLwSjXy</a></p>&mdash; Jess - #casualgoth Lady of Valhalla (Jarrsica) November 12, 2019

Some even poked fun at the fact that Netflix must be celebrating the technical fails of their new competitior.

disneyplus</a> should probably check Netflix&#39;s pockets for matches! 🤣🤣<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DisneyPlusfail?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DisneyPlusfail</a> <a href="https://t.co/PHZXXE0CCE">pic.twitter.com/PHZXXE0CCE</a></p>&mdash; GNXR (GNXR13) November 12, 2019

Some who didn't sign up for the service were just happy to receive free entertainment on Twitter from those complaining.

I don't have #DisneyPlus so I'm just gonna make me some popcorn and read through subscriber's responses to it not working. Now that's entertainment! pic.twitter.com/U4qlkahDrh

All those mousy fans hitting up disneyplus</a> at once<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DisneyPlusFail?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DisneyPlusFail</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DisneyPlusDown?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DisneyPlusDown</a> <a href="https://t.co/cpQLmQLdzk">pic.twitter.com/cpQLmQLdzk</a></p>&mdash; TMZ (TMZ) November 12, 2019

And then there were users who didn't quite understand why people felt the need to complain about the technical delays.

I think anyone asking for a refund on #DisneyPlus because it’s not working right now should also be banned for life from the service. I also think we should collect all the idiots, put them on an island with one pizza and load the island with weapons.

People complaining about #DisneyPlus not working perfectly the first minute just further goes to show that millennials have become nothing more than a bunch of whiney entitled losers who scream CANCEL whenever they don’t get their way. Give it a minute people.
