Hi everyone!

Disney+ announced a special D23 member pricing plan that is even more reasonable than the $69.99 yearly price announced, for a very limited time as part of the D23 Expo first and then for all D23 members based in the U.S. The service will be rolled out here on November 12th, 2019! Also, the press release below announces launch dates and pricing for Disney+ in the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, along with agreements in place with major platforms to distribute the Disney+ app across partner mobile and connected TV devices.

From Disney about the D23 pricing: At D23 Expo, attendees will get the opportunity to be the first to subscribe to Disney+ with a special “Founders Circle” offer, granting $23 off per year with a three-year commitment, averaging out to be 33 percent off the standard annual price. As an added bonus, they will receive an exclusive “Founders Circle” pin (exclusively at D23 Expo, while supplies last). The offer is open to all D23 Expo guests for a limited period during the D23 Expo (August 22–25); it will be available online from August 26 through September 2 exclusively for D23 Members.
