Editor'south take: Gratuitous would certainly be better for those interested in testing the waters, but it's hard to complain about $two for a total month of content, either. With any luck, perhaps some of the other major streaming players volition go bit by the generosity bug and drop the price of their subs for newcomers on a temporary footing. Information technology'd be in their best interest in the long run, as at to the lowest degree a fraction of "trial" members would likely convert to full paying members and stick around for months or fifty-fifty years to come.

Disney every bit part of a "show of strength" last year eliminated the concept of gratis trials for its streaming services, instead forcing interested parties to at to the lowest degree leap for a ane-month subscription at the standard rate if they wanted to cheque out what a item service had to offering and determine if information technology was a good fit.

Others followed, and that opinion largely remains unchanged, but every bit the company approaches the ii-year anniversary of Disney+ on November 12, they're feeling a flake more generous.

From now through November xiv at xi:59 p.m. Pacific, new and returning Disney+ subscribers can score a one-month membership for just $one.99. After the 1 month promotion, the rate volition motorcar-renew at the standard $7.99 price point unless you cancel before and then.

Disney+ at last check had 116 million subscribers, a effigy that is expected to be college when the company shares its latest earnings study on Wednesday.

Disney+ Day is Nov 12.
