We didn’t even know we needed Disney Plus Day until it came around on Nov. 12. It’s the two-year anniversary of the release of Disney Plus as a streaming service, and in classic Disney fashion, major celebrations are afoot.

Between a discount for new customers (just $1.99 for the first month) and classic Disney movies playing in theaters, there are a lot of ways to celebrate Disney Plus Day.

But the best way to celebrate, of course, is to sit at home on the couch and watch all of the new releases. Not only did Disney Plus come out with a bunch of new movies, series, and shorts on Disney Plus Day, but some highly anticipated previously released films are finally coming out too.

So here’s everything coming out on Disney Plus Day in 2021.
