If you can do without the ability to download content for offline viewing, Disney’s ad-supported plan is virtually identical to the ad-free plan. Both provide access to the same Disney Plus shows and films — including the full Star Wars and Marvel slate — along with National Geographic and Pixar content. That means you’ll be able to stream the new Star Wars: Skeleton Crew series when it lands on December 3rd as well as recent arrivals like X-Men ‘97, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film, Ron Howard’s recent Jim Henson documentary, and The Acolyte (RIP). Overall, the Disney Plus catalog is less robust than that of Hulu, Netflix, and some other rival services, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a finer selection of classic kid-friendly content and superhero stories.
To make the most of the deal, we’d advise you to mark your calendar. Once the three-month promotional period ends, Disney Plus will automatically begin charging you the regular monthly rate, which, by then, will run you $9.99.
