Disney Plus Subscription Costs Revealed

Imagine telling your younger self that one day, there would be an app that magically gathers everything from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic into a single platform, accessible anytime, anywhere, for a modest monthly fee. That's the reality with Disney+, a powerhouse streaming service that has become a leader in the industry. Thanks to Disney's extensive portfolio, Disney+ offers a vast collection of beloved classics and innovative original content. However, with the proliferation of streaming services, choosing the right one can be overwhelming, regardless of the enticing offerings each promises.

If you're contemplating subscribing to Disney+ for the first time or considering a return to the treasure trove of entertainment akin to Scrooge McDuck diving into his money bin, this guide is here to help. We'll walk you through the current Disney+ subscription plans, bundles, and everything you need to know to make an informed decision.

As of March 2025, Disney+ provides two primary plans: Disney+ Basic and Disney+ Premium. The key distinctions lie in the presence of ads, the ability to download content for offline viewing, and access to Dolby Atmos. A lesser-known fact is that Disney offers various bundles that can save you money by combining multiple services. The latest bundle includes Disney+, Max, and Hulu, while another option combines Disney+ with ESPN+. Below, you'll find a detailed breakdown of these options to help streamline your decision-making process.

Is There a Free Trial?

Unfortunately, Disney+ does not offer a free trial for new subscribers as of now. However, several other streaming services do provide free trials, which might be worth exploring.

Disney+ Plans and Prices (As of March 2025)

All Disney+ plans saw a price increase on October 17, 2024. Here's the updated information:

Disney+ Basic - $9.99/month

- Stream Disney+ with ads - No downloads - Watch on four screens at once at no extra cost - Over 300 titles in 4K UHD and HDR

This is the most budget-friendly Disney+ option, ideal for those who are comfortable with occasional ads and don't need offline viewing. However, if you're frequently on the go or need content for your kids during trips, consider upgrading to the Premium plan to download shows like Bluey or Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Keep in mind, while Disney+ Basic offers 4K UHD and HDR, it lacks Dolby Atmos, which is available with the Premium plan.

Disney+ Premium - $15.99/month or $159.99/year

- Stream Disney+ with no ads - Unlimited downloads on up to 10 devices - Watch on four screens at once at no extra cost - Over 300 titles in 4K UHD and HDR - Dolby Atmos

This top-tier plan includes everything in Disney+ Basic but eliminates ads and offers unlimited downloads on up to 10 devices. A significant advantage of Disney+ Premium is the inclusion of Dolby Atmos, a cutting-edge surround sound technology that enhances your viewing experience by positioning sounds precisely in space, creating a fully immersive environment.

For a more comprehensive review, check out our review of Disney+, where we noted, "For what is essentially a streaming service dedicated to the output and archives of a single company – albeit a company that now commands a vast swath of the entertainment landscape – Disney+ is doing a good job at widening its scope with documentaries, programming from its other banners, and, interestingly, concert films."
