It would be really awesome if they released the catalogue in every available language, including special one-time dubs, such as: Moana in Tahitian, Hawaiian, Maori, The Lion King in Zulu and Afrikaans, and Finding Nemo in Navajo. And it looks like Frozen II will have a Sami dub.

That would be cool, especially since the DVDs of these dubs can apparently be hard to find.

I have had a lot of buffering and jerkiness, and I never get that with Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Device management is non-existent. Unlike most other streaming services, there is no way to log out of a device remotely. There is no way to see which devices are currently logged in.
I've had some buffering, where the audio keeps going but the video freezes. It only really happens at the beginning of a show/movie, so it's been mildly annoying. With Netflix I sometimes get shows taking a long time to load, and occasionally poor picture quality when watching during prime time. So, I'd say the two have been similar for me.
That being said, I like the design of Netflix better. Disney+ is not great for browsing.

Re: Disney Plus language availability?
My experience has been about average. I've had the same kinds of issues at the beginning of playback. The interface is a little clunky in spots too. None of it is bad enough to stop using the service and it should get better as it matures.

Re: Disney Plus language availability?
I just wanted to update this thread because Disney+ has added several dubs in endangered languages that are accessible through the "Extras" tab:
The Māori dub of Moana features several original cast members reprising their roles: Jermaine Clement (of Flight of the Concords) as Tamatoa, Temuera Morrison (best known for playing Jango Fett and his various clones in the live-action Star Wars universe) as the speaking voice of Moana's father Tui, and Rachel House (the Grandmaster's surly head of security in Thor Ragnarok among many other film credits) as Tala, Moana's Grandma.
Sadly, the Hawaiian dub of Moana is not yet available. It features Auli'i Cravalho reprising her role as Moana and Nicole Scherzinger (of the Pussycat Dolls) as Moana's mother Sina. I hope that they release it soon!

When I did have Disney+ I noticed there were more language options if I accessed the US version. BTW, in new movies, such as Raya and the last dragon, the Spanish subtitles match the Spanish audio, which is great for learners. Is this the case with new Mandarin dubs?
