There has been a bit of a heatwave sweeping across the U.S. and we’re not gonna lie — we’ve been lying on our couches watching Hamilton excessively!

Do the resorts have Disney + ?
Charmaine, none of the Resorts our team has stayed in recently have had Disney+ installed.
Is that the LIVE Action Beauty & the Beast?! It hasn’t been available to watch on any streaming device for free in so long, please say it’s so!!
(Also, The Greatest Showman that’s coming is the one with Hugh Jackman, correct? I didn’t realize that movie was affiliated with Disney.)
Rachel, I believe it IS the live action BATB!
