Disney+ has become the most affordable major streaming service, but its latest deal won't last forever. TV enthusiasts must act quickly to secure a rare offer that undercuts the standard subscription rates of Netflix, HBO Max, and Prime Video. Even former subscribers who cancelled their membership may still qualify for savings of up to £18.
Limited-Time Disney+ Offer
Disney+ is offering new and eligible returning customers a time-limited promotion: access to the streaming service for £3.99 per month for the first three months. This effectively gives three months for the price of two, but the deal expires on May 6. The offer applies to various monthly packages, with the most affordable being Disney+ Standard with Ads. However, subscribers can also save on higher tiers: Disney+ Standard is now £6.99 (previously £9.99), and Disney+ Premium is £9.99 (was £14.99).
Comparison with Competitors
For context, Netflix and Prime Video's cheapest ad-supported plans cost £5.99 per month, while HBO Max's basic plan is £4.99. With Disney+ offering multiple packages, choosing the right one can be challenging. Those unconcerned about viewing quality but wishing to avoid ads may prefer Standard. Enthusiasts seeking the best viewing quality should opt for Premium, which also allows streaming on up to four devices simultaneously. Note that Standard plans do not permit offline downloads, a key feature for on-the-go viewing.
Alternative Bundles
Alternatively, viewers can access Disney+ and HBO Max through partner platforms. Sky's Ultimate TV bundle includes Netflix, Disney+, Hayu, HBO Max, and more for £24 per month—less than £1 per day. This package consolidates multiple subscriptions into one, simplifying costs and offering a wide range of content. Another option is the EE TV deal at £5 per month for the first six months, providing access to NowTV, Netflix, and other services.
Exclusive Content
The Disney+ £3.99 deal grants access to exclusive programmes, including Hulu originals. New content this month includes the steamy series Rivals, returning for a second season on May 15 with David Tennant, Alex Hassell, and Emily Atack. Fans of Malcolm in the Middle can enjoy its long-awaited revival starring Bryan Cranston. Dystopian drama enthusiasts can stream The Testaments, set years after The Handmaid's Tale. Sci-fi fans will appreciate Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, which follows the villain's quest for revenge after The Clone Wars.
To secure the Disney+ deal, sign up before May 6.
