BURBANK, CALIFORNIA — Disney launched its much anticipated online streaming service Disney+ on Tuesday in selected areas, only to be immediately slammed by technical glitches. <br />BBC reports that social media was flooded with people complaining about problems accessing the site, while other users shared screenshots of Disney-themed error messages. <br />According to glitch-tracker Down Detector, there were only 8,300 complaints about Disney+ issues over a 15-minute period starting at 9 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. <br />Reuters reported that some people trying to get on Disney+ were instead treated to a Mickey Mouse on a blue screen, with a message telling them to exit the app and try again. <br />According to Reuters, other users had trouble locating the Disney+ app in Apple's App Store. <br />Disney claims that the glitches were caused by excessive demand. <br />Disney+ hasn't been rolled out worldwide yet. It's currently only available in the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands.<br />The service costs $7 a month and features about 500 movies and 7,500 TV episodes.
