First they take away the free trial, and now this. Disney Plus are all about capitalising on all that exciting content with even more titles about to launch on the streaming service with the arrival of Star on Disney Plus in the UK, Canada, Australia and other territories around the globe. Now is a good time, then, to make the most of a superb Disney Plus deal and freeze the rate you pay for a whole year.
With Star coming to Disney Plus, it's not surprising members will see an increase in rates across monthly and yearly plans. Implemented in the UK, Canada and Australia from February 23, you have this weekend to sign up, while US fans will see their rates go up from March 26.
For new customers, you can benefit from the current, cheaper costs until 2022, paying $6.99/£5.99/CA$8.99/AU$8.99 a month and $69.99/£59.99/CA$89.99/AU$89.99 for the next year.
Thereafter most territories will see an increase of at least $1/£1 with monthly rates increasing to $7.99/£7.99/CA$11.99/AU$11.99 and annual plans costing $79.99/£79.90/CA$119.99/AU$119.99.
For those in the US, you can also expect to see a price increase on the Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN+ package, heading up from $12.99 to $13.99 a month.
Existing customers will retain the current rate for six months and see the price hikes come in from August 23.
Best Disney Plus deal for one year
Disney Plus: $69.99 / £59.99 / CA$89.99 / AU$89.99 for one year
When it comes to Disney Plus deals, the package with the best value for money has always been paying for a whole year upfront, getting 12 months for the price of 10 months. With price hikes on the way across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, sign up before February 23 and get a year's worth of Disney Plus at the old, cheaper rate before that pesky mouse cranks up the cost.
You can also benefit from the lower monthly cost and pay $6.99/£5.99/CA$8.99/AU$8.99 a month before February 23, but you'll only be able to enjoy this cheaper rate until August 23 before seeing an increase in price.
If you're viewing from the United States, there's also a really strong Disney Plus bundle deal available right now, too. This bundle includes everything on Disney Plus, as well as full access to Hulu and ESPN Plus for $12.99 per month. It's the most value-stuffed Disney Plus package on the market, and once again we advise anyone thinking of signing up to act fast before prices go up to $13.99 a month.
