Maybe you got a different A/B version of the page, but I went there and there weren't any of those. There's a Disney+ call to action but it shows naturalistic content. I cycled through the promoted shows gallery and it didn't bring up any Star wars or Toy story items.

Or maybe Disney knows they have children.
Maybe the US page is different from international versions? I'm viewing it from the UK.
I'm viewing it from Ireland, and half way down the page, I see a full-screen banner for Disney+ with a notable personality from each of their franchises Moana (Disney), Mr Incredible (Pixar), Thor (Marvel), Jyn Erso (Rogue One/Star Wars) and Jeff Goldblum (National Geographic). I suppose that's what you're seeing?
Yeah same here, almost the entire landing page that I can see on my monitor is immediately just Disney+ advertising.

Nothing at all to hint I'm on nationalgeographic.com

Yes, that's it. Mr Incredible and Buzz Lightyear look very similar I guess.
were ad blockers involved? i run uBO, and i too do not see the Disney themed ads.
on mobile with no blockers and i don’t see it.

fwiw i think the deterioration has been much more clear under natgeo tv than the magazine
