Today’s the day: Disney+ has officially launched in the UK.

We can finally find out what all the fuss is about with The Mandalorian and baby Yoda, and we’ll finally be able to learn the answer to Forky’s question: “What is cheese?”

The service launched at 1am this morning with over 500 films, more than 350 series and a slate of 26 exclusive Disney+ Originals, and UK consumers are able to sign up for a seven-day trial to get a taste of the service.

The new streaming service also launched today in Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Switzerland. It will launch in France on 7 April.

Fans in the UK couldn’t believe the timing of the launch, which comes just one day after Boris Johnson issued a stern “stay at home” warning amid the growing coronavirus pandemic.

In light of concerns regarding the current ability of certain broadband infrastructure to handle the anticipated consumer demand for Disney+, the service will temporarily feature a lower overall bandwidth utilisation by at least 25%.
