Disney+
What's the deal? Get the Disney+ Basic Plan with ads for $1.99/month for three months
Disney+ is offering new subscribers a chance to save on the Basic Plan (with ads), discounting the service to $1.99 per month for three months. After three months, the service will renew for $7.99 per month unless you cancel. This offer will last through September 20.
Disney is planning a significant price increase to its service next month, so anyone interested might want to lock in an annual subscription at the cheaper price before that happens.
