Disney's weeklong series of promotions, events, and content premieres for Disney+ subscribers has arrived.
Also known as Disney+ Day, it's not only a mega marketing campaign enlisting just about every part of The Walt Disney Company, but it also just so happens to be Disney+'s second birthday. Here's what you need to know about Disney+ Day - including when it is, what subscribers are getting, and more.

What is Disney+ Day?
To celebrate the launch of Disney+ two years ago, Disney has turned the streaming service's birthday into a holiday called Disney+ Day, and it has coordinated a bunch of festivities for Disney+ subscribers, including various deals and savings, new content to watch, and even some trailers and sneak peeks.
Nearly every corner of Disney's massive empire is taking part in the first Disney+ Day. For instance, on Disney+ Day, both Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Jungle Cruise will be available to stream at no extra cost, Disney+ subscribers will get free shipping at ShopDisney and can enter Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort 30 minutes before the parks open, and even Disney+ has received its biggest price cut ever.
These are just a few of the perks Disney has planned for Disney+ Day.
When is Disney+ Day?
The first-ever Disney+ Day is set for Friday 12 November 2021. But some of Disney's promotions kicked off the week of Disney+ Day.
Can you watch Disney+ Day online?
Disney+ Day isn't a typical "event" with a live-streamed broadcast for you to watch. It's a day-long celebration marked by new shows, movies, and specials for you to stream on Disney+. So, go there to see all the new content. Off its streaming service, Disney is expected to release a bevy of trailers and other sneak peeks of upcoming programming. These teases are expected to premiere on Disney+ and through Disney's social channels:
