Anyone had experience with signing up for Disney+?

Hello! I was wondering whether or not to sign up for Disney+ or not. I found the price but it said that there were additional costs. Does anyone know about them?

    I don't know the answer to this, but we were contemplating signing up for it in the future so I'd like to see if someone can advise us!

    Is Disney plus available in Japan already? In Japan, there is Disney Delux which kind of has the same content. I am not sure whether it is 100% the same though. I used Disney Delux for the free trial month and wasn't charged anything.

    I think it is coming to Japan in June. Fingers crossed.

    Just going to jump from the side here, a press release was issued at the end of May saying that the release date for Disney+ will be June 11 this year. https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/City-Cost/MPPKO-living

    There is a problem with non-Japanese credit cards, but otherwise it works just like how netflix and other streaming services work.

Fears in Japan that you didn't have in your home country?

I've written a number of blogs here on City-Cost about how bears are a real worry in my area these days, and it's something that I didn't have to concern myself with in my home country. I know people talk about snakes and spiders in Australia being deadly (and yes, there are some types that are), but they're not typically going to come and attack you unprovoked. Also, it's a lot easier to outrun a snake or a spider than a bear ;) I'm curious about the rest of you, if you have fears here that maybe weren't present in your country of origin. Let me know in the comments!

Christmas - shopping, meals, etc. - how are we faring?

I saw a press release this morning from FamilyMart, which promoted their festive season eats but also covered a survey about spending. The survey mentioned most people planning to celebrate Christmas at home aim to spend less than 5,000 yen on food. How does your budget look in comparison to that? Do you go all out for Christmas here if it was something you celebrated in your home country, or is it a quieter celebration owing to it not being an official holiday here? How about Christmas shopping? Have you got strict budgets in place, and have you completed your shopping or are you still looking for bits and pieces for people?

From October to February, the Diamond Fuji phenomenon is visible for a few days. Have you seen this sight before? Where did you watch it from? Is it close to transportation?
