Disney is launching a new subscription-based video-on-demand service, and is giving away free access for a brief trial period. The channel will be available free of charge to subscribers of its participating cable providers from September 2 through 6.
The Disney Family Movies channel will cost $5.99 per month and be available to Comcast, Charter, Cox, AT&T U-verse, Suddenlink, Verizon FiOs and Avail-TVN subscribers. 10 to 12 movies will be provided each month, and the channel’s selection will include older titles from Disney’s “vault” along with newer fare.
For all you Disney-loving Insiders, could this be a worthwhile add-on to your cable selection? If this new channel becomes popular, might other studios follow suit?

$6 bucks a month for 10-12 movies? You really better like Disney to buy into this. Seems like a real small market would be interested.
Even movies in the vault, eh? Will they show us Songs of the South? (yeah, like THAT will happen)
Well since verizon cant deliver with PRESTINE quality and no dropouts … doesnt matter what the price is … even FREE … wont bother with it.
What am I going to do? Watch the mermaid movie 2x? If we could access old ones, it might be ok but am sure they’ll limit it to so many….so I won’t bother
Where’ the love for DireTV subscribers? $5.99/month is too much anyways, but just curious.
