I am guessing it will only be able to be accessed through your phone. Also will use your data while watching it. Says 1 subscription per account. So if you share an account with family only one of you will get it
At launch, Verizon customers can activate their Disney+ subscription and start streaming on a wide selection of mobile and connected TV devices, including gaming consoles, streaming media players, and smart TVs.

  • Verizon customers can enjoy everything Disney+ has to offer, including high-quality and commercial-free viewing, up to four concurrent streams, downloads for offline viewing, personalized recommendations, and the ability to set up to seven different profiles

Ok that is nice that it can be streamed on anything.

Yeah 7 different profiles but that is still 1 account. My verizon phone is through work and 100s of people are on the corporate account. so it wont work for everyone on there

Downloaded the Disney+ app this morning and setup profiles for the family. The App wasn't in the ioS App Store, but you can download it via the Disney+ web site. It errored out a few times, and my wife had trouble syncing it to our AppleTV at home. Sounds like it's working for her now, but there are articles out about it crashing. I'm looking forward to watching The Mandalorian after the kids go to bed.

got it downloaded but it’s showing an error when trying to pick anything. I’m sure it’s on a bit of a high demand at the moment.

I am going to download it on my new Apple TV a little later. I am getting the package with ESPN plus and a couple other things they are offering.

Everybody better hope Netflix and HBO have gigantic success or 90% of this stuff is going back in their precious "vault" and the subscription rate goes up to $30/mo.

This is the company that's still selling its blurays at $35 when every other studio is selling them for $10-20.

We also have an AppleTV 4K and my wife couldn't find the App in the App Store this morning. She had to search for it in the Primary Search bar (the one that appears at the top when all your apps are showing) and she said she was able to "Download it from the cloud" - this is according to her, so who knows how accurate that is.

Verizon customers with Unlimited data - you get a year of Disney+ for free. If you signed up for a package already you can leverage the Verizon 1 year deal - your paid subscription will be paused until the Verizon deal expires.

will it only stream over the Verizon network, or can it be used with cable internet at home?

That’s the spirit.

Does anyone know if The Mandalorian is being released on a weekly basis or all the episodes available at once?

Nope this is an add-on. It shows up on my web browser and my AppleTV. The only thing I don't know is if the streams are limited. I believe the Disney+ subscription is supposed to allow 4 simultaneous streams.

Had 3 streams going this morning. Worked well. It seems to be up and running smoothly now.

How long is this $6.99/month price lasting?
Site makes it sound eternal, but that seems iffy to me.

IIRC, Netflix was $5.99 at launch and is currently $12.99 (2 HD Streams). It has to go up in price, which is why I'm trying to lock it in for as long as I can.
