Recently, Disney has been filing patents to create a multi-device watch party with the most recent details on August 4th and August 13th. In the description, there is no specified watch party name, but the service was described as, “A method for use by a first media player for synchronizing playout of a first media content with playout of a second media content by a second media player” where “the first media content and the second media content being a same media content.”

Basically, it sounds like Disney is building their own system for subscribers to be able to watch the shows and movies that are being rotated on the app or website. But, just like other platforms, guests will most likely need to subscribe to the service before being able to join a watch party.
