I suspect they will expect UK viewers to pay £29.99 to view it.

This is obviously the commercial face of streaming - I would imagine subscribers to Disney+ expected to get all content for their sub, not to pay extra on top.
As a Disney+ subscriber I don’t expect to have access to made-for-cinema content on the same day it goes on general release, no. If they want to experiment with running a box office service through Disney+ I’m fine with that as long as they don’t muddle up the interface. One of Netflix’s principal advantages over Prime Video is that Netflix doesn’t try to sell you anything whereas Amazon weaves prime and non-prime content together as tightly as it can, which results in a frustrating user experience.

I wouldn’t pay £20 or more for Mulan or anything else though. I pay that and then some to take the family to the cinema, but that’s a cinema with the whole experience that goes with it. My living room is not a cinema, although to be fair the carpet is frequently as filthy as screen one after a matinee once my kids have been loose in it for a few hours.
