We made it to another weekend and are somehow zeroing in on the halfway point of June (already?). In celebration, dive into some Disney Plus content for the next couple of days.

New releases are highlighted by Disney Plus’ exclusive content, including Loki, The Mighty Ducks, John Stamos’ all-girls basketball team, and much more.

Here is what is going on Disney Plus this weekend — actually.
