Disney+, the streaming service from Disney launched today, but then ran into major technical problems. At around 7 this morning, Twitter users mentioned problems accessing the service or some of its features, and Downdetector.com showed 6,900 reports of problems with the service around 7:30 a.m. ET and slightly more than 7,000 later before problem reports dropped off. According to users, there were problems signing up, logging in and streaming. Some U.S. users were allowed to purchase Disney+ on their computer, but once paid for, the streaming service would not load on smart TVs or on the PlayStation app. At around 10 this morning disney released this statement, "The consumer demand for Disney+ has exceeded our high expectations. We are working to quickly resolve the current user issue. We appreciate your patience." Ok, we're standing by......
