Re: Disney+ streaming service

I currently have that $2.99 Disney+ (no ads) add-on from Hulu (with ads) annual plan... basically $116 before tax for the year for both services. I wonder if that will go away.

Here's the complete service and pricing grid for October:

"Disney+ (no ads) add-on" is still a legacy service that you can keep, so long as you don't remove it or cancel your Hulu account, and they haven't announced a price change for it. The Hulu (with ads) annual price hasn't changed, so you should be able to continue with your $116 total annual cost without issue.

Re: Disney+ streaming service

I’ll keep what I’ve got as long as the pricing doesn’t change. Still REALLY pissed about all the stuff they removed though. That’s not how it was supposed to work.

Iger finally realizing that he was missing out on a portion of his entertainment audience who still loves physical media and wants to personally own these shows.

According to The Digital Bits, the releases are the usual Disney HDR10 only. No Dolby Vision.

Disney has cancelled two already shot TV projects, Spiderwick Chronicles and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea inspired Nautilus. Says they will shop them around.

You'd think they'd be hanging onto whatever was already in the bag considering the strike...
