Disney+ changes subscriber agreement to allow ads on every plan
an hour ago
- Disney+ has updated its subscriber agreement to allow ads on all subscription tiers, ending completely ad-free streaming, including for Premium members who pay $18.99 a month.
- Subscribers must accept the new terms via an on-screen prompt when logging in to continue using the service.
- Premium subscribers no longer get commercial-free streaming, as Disney confirms all plans may include promotional content and ads before/after playback, plus regular breaks on live events and linear channels.
- Only Junior Mode profiles remain completely ad-free, and ads may be non-skippable; using an ad blocker could halt playback entirely.
- The company makes no guarantees about the amount or frequency of ads on any tier, and the $7 price difference between Basic ($11.99/month, ad-supported) and Premium now offers less value.
- This change follows subscriber cancellations due to earlier price hikes, like annual fees rising from $79.99 to $159.99 for some users.
