Mandalorian dethrones stranger things for in demand original programming for a streaming service. Stranger things was at top of the leaderboard for 21 straight weeks.

Wasn't really expecting the twist in the 3rd episode. I like the way it's going though.

Can't wait until the episodes drop on Friday. I also thought the 3rd Imagineering episode was great.

They added a "Continue Watching" feature to the home page. I know it's a simple thing, but it's much appreciated.

Continue watching just showed up on my app.

Update reported last night that I didn’t have the continue watching. This morning it’s on there for all my devices.

the little mermaid live will be on Disney plus tomorrow nov 27. The show that was on abc a couple weeks ago.

The thing I notice is that unlike Netflix or Hulu, the app makes you choose the next episode you want to watch as opposed to automatically knowing which ones you've already seen. Does that make sense? So if we click 'play' on The Mandalorian main page, we get credits from previous ep instead of it jumping to newest episode.

Disney plus has been averaging 25.6 million Viewing sessions per day for the last week. Reported by New York post and the street.

I wonder if they can sustain that level of viewership. I'm sure there is a big rush right now with people enjoying all the content. But once they've had it for a while I expect things will taper off.

The New York Post story almost mentions that an estimated 1 million new subscribers a DAY. Wow, so much for the opening glitches being a deterrent. A marketing professor once told me that if you have a good product, you can over come a lot of issues/problems.

Wow!!! And, I can't help but wonder how many people are holding off to purchase this as Christmas gifts? I know a few who are.

FYI - Shop Disney has a bunch of Mandelorian merchandise up now. Some of it is cool, though most of the "Baby Yoda" stuff looks rushed, like stuff you would see on Cafe Press or something where they just took one image and then put it on a bunch of different things:

I noticed last night, if you go to the Continue Watching section, at least, it picked the next episode automatically and juts started playing it rather than taking me to the show page (for us it was episode 3 of the Jeff Goldblum show).

I completely agree!!!!! That’s terrible!!!

Always shocks me how they aren't better prepared .... as if people wouldn't want "baby yoda" merch? How are they not ready day one with this stuff?

 

[Moliphino]

They couldn't even find more than one picture of baby Yoda?

 

[AvidDisReader]

I am headed to WDW next week, my 2 eight year old grand kids (1 boy and 1 girl) asked for only one thing-they both want a Baby Yoda. Ya think Disney is on to another real hot item!

 

[sara_s]

I'm shocked they don't at least have a stuffed toy.
