If you’re looking for Disney Plus sign-up offers that provide maximum value for money, you’re in luck; we’ve rounded up the best savings here. As an example, the hottest Disney Plus deals right now include a US bundle with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus for $13.99 per month. Because standard Disney Plus prices start at $7.99 a month, that’s not bad value for money. In fact, it saves you around $6 a month over buying them all separately.
No matter which offer you choose, the streaming service is the definition of a pick-me-up. As we mentioned in our full Disney Plus guide, it’s packed with hundreds of hours of content across a variety of genres. Every Disney Plus sign-up streams in 4K resolution with HDR as standard whenever possible too, so your favorites will look their best.

Worried about the novelty wearing off? Although there are always going to be content dry-spells, it looks like these will be few and far between when it comes to a Disney Plus sign-up. Members are being inundated with original series right now, and Disney’s showing no signs of slowing down. Indeed, the company has announced that we’re getting 10 new Marvel and Star Wars shows in the next few years alone.

How do you get a Disney Plus sign-up?
Getting your hands on a Disney Plus sign-up is easy – all you need to do is visit the official Disney Plus website, click on the offer you want (you’ll be able to choose between a monthly subscription or annual membership), and fill in your details. That means you can be watching within minutes.
Here’s how the specific Disney Plus sign-up options work.
Pay monthly: This is the standard subscription model for Disney Plus. You pay a small fee each month for your membership, and it keeps rolling until you cancel or the world stops turning. You’re not locked into a contract either – you can cut loose whenever you like.
1-year membership: You can sign up for a full year of Disney Plus with a one-off fee, and it’s better value for money than normal plans – regardless of where you are in the world, it gets you 12 months for the price of 10. For example, the US annual sub is $16 less expensive than paying for a long-term monthly membership.
Bundle with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus (USA only): This option is more expensive than the others, but it’s probably the best bang for buck overall. Providing three streaming services for $13.99 per month (or $19.99p/m without Hulu ads), it’s almost $7 cheaper than buying each one separately. For context, it’s a similar price to the Standard HD month of Netflix for triple the amount of content. In addition, those services compliment each other nicely – Disney is family-friendly, Hulu brings mature dramas to the table, and ESPN fills a gap with sports.
Your cheapest option would be the standard monthly subscription
Can you get a free Disney Plus sign-up?
Unfortunately for us, it’s not possible to get a free Disney Plus sign-up anymore. The Disney Plus free trial is gone, and we can’t imagine it’ll come back any time soon (the streaming service is doing much too well for that). As such, the most affordable option would be a standard monthly subscription for $7.99p/m in the USA, £7.99p/m in the UK, $11.99p/m in Canada, or $11.99p/m in Australia. You won’t find a cheaper offer.
Want to try Disney Plus without fully committing, on the other hand? We’d recommend grabbing a single month’s membership and cancelling before those four weeks are up. That means you can fill your boots with as much Disney content as you like without paying too much.
It’s worth pointing out that UK, Canadian, and Australian readers get to enjoy the new Star channel regardless of whether they’re investing in a monthly or yearly subscription, too. It’s included with all memberships in those regions as standard at no extra charge.

The thought of investing in yet another streaming service can strike fear into the heart of the bravest soul. But you don’t need to worry – the Disney Plus price is fairly low. In fact, the average cost of a Disney Plus sign-up comes in below a Standard HD month of Netflix. That’s not bad value for money, especially considering how much content is waiting for you.
Sure, it’s not ideal that the free trial is gone (rest in peace, sweet prince). But the monthly or yearly subscription most of us are left with is pretty reasonable on the whole. Actually, the annual membership gets you 12 months of Disney Plus for the price of 10.

How to get a Premier Access Disney Plus sign-up

What is Premier Access? Don’t worry, it isn’t as complicated as it might seem. Although it’s not available right now, Premier Access allowed users to watch brand-new movies from the comfort of their own home… for a small fee. This meant that all Premier Access films had to bought separately – they weren’t included in any Disney Plus sign-up.
While that may seem harsh, it worked a bit like visiting the theater; Premier Access was your ticket. And in all fairness, it did end up being less expensive than taking a family of four to the pictures. It wasn’t a one off, either. Once you paid for a Premier Access film, you could rewatch it as often as you liked.
Regardless, there’s no need to worry about it now – there aren’t any Premier Access movies on offer right now. That might change in the future, so watch this space!
