Disney is discounting the price of a yearly subscription to its streaming service in Europe, ahead of its regional launch on March 24th. Customers who subscribe before March 23rd will get £10, or €10, off the price of a year’s subscription, bringing the annual cost down to £49.99 or €59.99.
In an email sent to the Disney+ waiting list, Disney details a “limited time low price offer” which brings the annual price down to £49.99/€59.99. The offer is valid until March 23rd, after which the price of a subscription will return to standard £5.99/€6.99 a month or £59.99/€69.99 a year.
Disney has yet to confirm whether big-hitting shows like The Mandalorian will be subject to a staggered release in Europe, even though it is now available in its entirety in the US. The Simpsons is also said to be in state of limbo. In the FAQ section on the Disney+ website, the company has confirmed that there will be “differences between the content available in specific territories due to rights restrictions or other reasons.”
Disney+ will be available in the UK, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, Austria and Switzerland on March 24th, with customers in Belgium, Portugal and the Nordics able to sign up soon after.
