I see a lot of releases coming to Netflix, does the same kind of thing happen on Disney+ with having regular new releases or additions?

I think so, especially if you add in all the Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and the Star Hub content (FX and Hulu especially). I just posted about two new Star Wars series in the TV Series topic for example, The Orville is a Hulu show coming back soon too, and available on D+.
Not sure about the movie stuff streaming though - Disney and the movie studios connected to the Star Hub (20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures) all tend to put movies into cinema release before it goes to any form of streaming. Netflix on the other hand is a streaming service first and will put their cinema release productions onto the streaming service at the same time.
Personally, I haven’t really posted too much Disney+ content in the past because it has been available officially. But now that it is, I’ll be keeping a closer look out for decent content.
