Subscribers to Disney Plus are provided with access to the latest shows and movies released by Disney as well as numerous short movies, as well as documentaries that the brand has made back in the day.

Disney Plus Features and Subscription Plans | November 2022 Update
How Much Does Disney Plus Cost?
Disney Plus is available in a number of different countries and the prices generally range from $7.99 per month to $79.99 for a yearly subscription.
From December 8th, the prices of the ad-free streaming packages will increase to $11 a month and $110 for the year.
At this time Disney will introduce an ad-supported plan that will cost $8 a month.
You can also buy Disney Plus as a bundled package with other OTT services like Hulu and ESPN+. The bundle can be purchased from the Hulu site or it will automatically get activated when subscribing to Hulu Live TV.
The prices for Hulu Live TV with Disney Plus and ESPN+ cost around $70 a month and new subscribers have an offer where you can save up to $20 a month for the first three months by selecting this plan.
In contrast to other platforms, Disney Plus is much cheaper than Netflix, but it lacks many shows and movies that Netflix offers and Apple TV Plus is cheaper than Disney Plus, but it does have a lot less content than Disney.

Disney Plus Features : What’s Included in the Subscription
While Disney Plus features only Disney original content, it does offer some pretty impressive features, like its unique selection of content that make this service stand out from the rest.
To start things off, the platform supports up to 7 profiles in each subscription plan. This means that 7 users can create individual profiles under a single account and each profile will be customized based on what interests that user.
Another feature that’s available on Disney Plus is that it allows simultaneous streaming on up to 4 different devices at a time. So, users can sign in to 4 different devices using a single account and watch shows and movies simultaneously.
Disney Plus also has the group watch feature that lets users watch a movie with up to 6 friends or family members at a time. The host will have the ability to play, pause and skip through sections of the movie via their app.
Content that is played on Disney Plus is available in 4K with support for HDR as well as HDR10+. There’s even support for Dolby DTS and Atmos, but it depends on the program and movie and whether or not they support it.
Another fun feature of Disney Plus is that it comes with a special Kids profile that parents can use to restrict what kids watch online. The profile will restrict content to General and TV-7FV category which is safe for children to watch.
Finally, some of the latest movies that were shot using IMAX are available on Disney Plus in IMAX Enhanced playback which provides higher resolution, better quality and an overall great watching experience.

How to Get a Disney Plus Free Trial?
Disney Plus discontinued their free trial program back in June 2020 which ran to commemorate the launch of the service in the market.
The Walt Disney company withdrew the program once they were able to surpass 42 million subscribers and realized that there’s no use for a free trial anymore.
As of now you can only get discounts or offers applied on subscriptions that can cut the overall cost in half. But we don’t see the free trial making a comeback anytime soon.
