New Disney Plus deal lowers base plan price to $2

With the miniseries “Agatha All Along” and “Bluey” on the way, Disney Plus is offering a new discount on its ad-based subscription, making it just $2 per month for three months. The streaming service's regular price for the Disney Plus Basic subscription is $8 per month, so customers will save $18 with this deal. If you're a new or returning subscriber, this is an opportunity to lock in some savings before Disney's streaming price increases go into effect on October 17.

After the three-month promotional period ends, your monthly plan will increase to $10 per month unless you cancel. You have until September 27 at 11:59 p.m. PT to sign up for the deal. This deal is only valid for a standalone Disney Plus Basic subscription, not the ad-free version, and cannot be combined with bundles or other discounts. However, if you also have a standalone Hulu subscription, you can watch Hulu content in the Disney Plus app.

Starting in October, Disney is raising prices on most of its streaming services, including ESPN Plus and Hulu with Live TV. Disney Plus Basic will increase from $8 to $10 per month, while the ad-free package will cost $16 per month instead of $14. The Duo Basic package with Disney Plus and Hulu will increase to $11 per month, and ESPN Plus will cost $12 per month.

A CNET Editors' Choice, Disney Plus is one of the best streaming services for families. The platform offers Star Wars hits and Marvel titles like The Avengers and X-Men '97, as well as Disney classics and originals like Descendants: The Rise of Red. Upcoming new releases this year include Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Pixar releases, and Alien: Romulus.
