The launch of Disney+ is just a few days away, and fans are eager to see all that the new streaming service has to offer. Last month, Disney revealed all of the existing movies and shows coming to the service on launch day, as well as the new original programs that would be airing. Unlike other streaming services, however, Disney+ will follow the weekly TV release model with its originals, releasing new episodes on Fridays.

That makes the first week of the service a little confusing and packed with new content to watch. The first episodes of shows like The Mandalorian and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series will arrive with the service on Tuesday, November 12th. Then, three days later, the second episodes of those shows will be released, beginning the weekly release pattern.
There is a lot of original content coming to Disney+ in its first few weeks, so much so that the service has unveiled a full release calendar for most of November. Below, you can check out all of the original programs, which includes full movies and TV episodes, coming to Disney+ between November 12th and November 24th.
