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.

    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.

Your "buy it for life" purchases in Japan

There's a reddit community I really enjoy reading called r/buyitforlife. As the name suggests, people outline purchases that they've made that truly stand the test of time. Kitchen items, clothing, shoes, etc... What have been your "buy it for life" items here?

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?
