Disney+ launched yesterday, November 12, and immediately faced major service issues upon launch. Whole swathes of the United States struggled to keep a solid connection to the platform for the hungry audiences who wanted to watch old school classics like High School Musical and brand new television shows based on the Star Wars universe like The Mandalorian.

I guess people really wanted to watch their Lizzie McGuire.
