I mean that "benefit" choice is rather absurd.
They didn't have the option for free disney+ before. They now have the option of free disney+. I'm sure there are plenty that don't take advantage of the main entrance pass benefit. For those people this is a nice perk. For those that it doesn't make sense, oh well. They don't have to offer either of them, and they can remove either benefit at any time.
What's the big deal?
If the cast member doesn't want the Disney +, they don't have to select it as an option. Option.
They aren't taking away the main entrance pass.
As to give it for free? Why? I work for hospital. I don't get a discount on services.
I worked in a hospital for several years and 100% got a benefit if I used services at that hospital vs going to another health system. It was part of our health insurance, but any admissions to our home hospital were fully covered vs going elsewhere. YMMV.
Hospital services have a cost to the hospital. The hospital has to pay for staff, supplies and equipment your service incurs that they wouldn't otherwise have to pay. It cost Disney absolutely nothing to generate a login and password on Disney+ for CMs.What's the big deal? Why the complaints?

Not a big issue, it's just odd that they bundled the two together as if they're equal in value when they're really not even close. I and others mentioned it above - I'm sure there are people that will definitely prefer to have Disney+, but from a monetary standpoint, it's at least $1000+ vs. $200 value. It doesn't really add up.It's still health insurance you had to pay, plus it had limitations. You could only use that hospital or those providers. Not helpful to people who don't live near the hospital they work at. Also, your actual services weren't discounted, it's just the insurance plan you chose was cheaper than those provider/hospitals that were not your home hospital. Maybe your co-pay was lower or deductible lower. Or a bigger percentage covered. But your MRI and the person that doesn't work for the hospital MRI cost the same.
And the cast members are still getting benefits.
Sorry, don't see the big issue with Disney giving people a choice. If they happen to decide on Disney +, they still get their own self-admission and 4 free tickets a year. I can tell you my immediate family/friends wouldn't want to come to Disney!

My first assumption was it applied to the cast members in Disney Stores and my thought this was a phenomenal alternative benefit for them.Just to add- is this also for cast members who work in the Disney Stores around the country? Because then I think this is even better! Surely there are cast members who don't go to Disney every year, so maybe Disney + would be something they'd like.
I couldn't love this more.
Wow, all those people recording the Stormtroopers on their phones.....they should come to Batuu to see them in their element!United Airlines debuted a new Star Wars plane yesterday. It's AMAZING. Here's a video from the ceremony they had in Houston before the first revenue flight, which was to Orlando, of course. Not sure if you have to be logged into Facebook to see it or not.
And here's how to track it to find out if it's coming to an airport near you (subject to change; in fact it's already had multiple reroutes today alone)

my twin works at disney ,she has the sliver pass and since I like to go to disney with her when ever we can .No way is she go to trade her sliver pass for disney plus.In plus I was going to pay for disney plus anyways.I mean.....I see how that might be more beneficial for CM's who don't work or live near the parks or plan a vacation, but it's hardly a dollar value equivalent.
