My spouse and I were just talking the other night about making an effort to watch more movies, but only the ones we actually want to watch, and our plan is to start hitting up the library or buying DVDs at Half Price Books! We, too, have Disney+ for the children.
I buy DVDs sometimes but usually only if it's a movie I'm going to watch repeatedly or if it's an odd or quiet title that might disappear into the ether.
Good lord, there are more streaming platforms than I realized! I love this rundown, and especially how you caught that changing streaming platform preferences is a sign of what's going on large with media. I recently canceled Netflix and am pretty heavy with Disney+ and Amazon Prime (which is the hardest to cancel since it's tied to my amz membership). Like you, I'm more likely to pay to rent or buy a movie then dk the constant internet search, especially since I live outside the US so what's available on one network doe free in the US isn't in parts of Europe.
I'd def keep Disney+, even when your kids aren't kids anymore 🙃
Oh my gosh, I totally forgot Amazon Prime! It's funny I think of them as a rental platform because that's where I usually rent movies but I do have a subscription through our family's account and sometimes watch their original programming--Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was a favorite.
