Imagine telling your younger self that one day, a magical app would bring together everything from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic, all accessible anytime, anywhere, for a modest monthly fee. That's the reality with Disney+, a leading streaming platform that offers a vast collection of classics and original programming featuring some of the most beloved characters and stories ever told. With the proliferation of streaming services, it can be challenging to keep up, but Disney+ stands out with its unique offerings.
If you're considering signing up for Disney+ for the first time or returning to the vault like Scrooge McDuck diving into his money bin, this guide will provide you with all the essential information about the current Disney+ subscription plans, bundles, and more.
As of March 2025, Disney+ offers two main plans: **Disney+ Basic** and **Disney+ Premium**. The key differences between these plans include the presence of ads, the ability to download content for offline viewing, and access to Dolby Atmos. Additionally, Disney offers various bundles that can save you money by combining multiple streaming services. The newest bundle includes Disney+, Max, and Hulu, while you can also bundle Disney+ with ESPN+. Below, you'll find all the options to help you make an informed decision about joining or not.
Disney+ does not currently offer a free trial for new subscribers. However, many other streaming services do provide free trials, which you might want to explore.
All Disney+ plans increased in price on October 17, 2024. The following information reflects these changes.
This is the most affordable Disney+ option, ideal for those who don't mind ads and don't need to download content for offline viewing. If you travel frequently or have kids and want to load up episodes of Bluey or Spidey and His Amazing Friends on a tablet for a vacation, consider upgrading to the premium plan. Note that while Disney+ Basic offers over 300 titles in 4K UHD and HDR, it does not include Dolby Atmos, which is available with Disney+ Premium.
This is the top tier of Disney+ plans. With the price increase, you get everything Disney+ Basic offers, plus the added benefits of no ads and the ability to download content on up to 10 devices. A significant advantage of Disney+ Premium is the inclusion of Dolby Atmos, a leading surround sound technology that enhances your viewing experience with spatial audio, allowing creators to place sounds in specific locations for a fully immersive experience.
This bundle is perfect for those who want to enjoy both Disney+ and Hulu but are okay with ads and don't need to download content. There's currently a promotion offering the first four months for only $2.99 per month, ending on March 30.
Deal ends on March 30
This bundle is ideal for those who want all the benefits of Disney+ Premium, including unlimited downloads, Dolby Atmos, and no ads, along with the full ad-free Hulu library.
If you're interested in adding ESPN+ to your Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions, this bundle is for you. ESPN+ offers live sports streaming, UFC PPV events, on-demand content like the 30 for 30 library, and exclusive fantasy sports tools and premium articles.
This plan is no longer available for new subscribers but existing subscribers can retain it as long as they don't cancel or change it.

For more insights, 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."
