Disney senior executives could potentially combine Disney+ with other apps like Disneyland Resort and Disney Cruise Line Navigator to make one unified app, according to a report from Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sources said these discussions were at an early stage, but that they are referring to this as a \u201csuper app\u201d internally.<\/p>\n

Disney CEO Josh D\u2019Amaro, who took over for Bob Iger earlier this year, has emphasized his intent to streamline<\/a> the Disney experience, making the relationship between Disney+ and the Disney parks more cohesive.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisney+ becomes the primary relationship between Disney and its fans, the place where everything comes together,\u201d D\u2019Amaro said on Disney\u2019s quarterly earnings call this week.<\/p>\n

The project is a bit reminiscent of Elon Musk\u2019s desire to turn X into an \u201ceverything app<\/a>\u201d like China\u2019s WeChat (though X recently launched a stand-alone chat app<\/a>, which is counterintuitive). But instead of encompassing literally everything like payments and messaging, Disney\u2019s ambition to bring all of its mobile platforms under one app is a bit more feasible, though still a bit eyebrow-raising.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely that D\u2019Amaro wants to increase interest in the parks by getting Mickey Mouse in front of more Disney+ subscribers. It\u2019s worth noting that Disney+ subscribers and Disney parks visitors aren\u2019t necessarily the same customers, which could prove awkward if the Disney+ app were bogged down with advertisements for cruises.<\/p>\n
