    Worth it?

    If you have grandkids — yes, Disney+ is a grandparent goldmine. Watch Bambi, Cinderella, Fantasia together. National Geographic alone is worth it for nature lovers. If Marvel and Star Wars don't interest you, the library may feel thin. Try a free trial first to see if the content matches your taste before committing monthly.
