How many Australians subscribe to Disney Plus?
Save 16% or two months free with Disney annual
While Disney Plus does run sales every now and again, it doesn’t have any at the moment. But if you plan to explore a galaxy far, far away for a very, very long time, it's worth investing in a Disney Plus annual streaming subscription.
By committing to a full year, annual subscribers to Disney Plus' Standard tier will save just $35.89 annually, while Premium tier subscribers will save $49.89 a year.
Either way this averages out to be just under two months free.
For comparison, here's how much Disney Plus' Standard and Premium subscriptions currently cost at full-price for both monthly and annual plans:

It might seem counterintuitive but cancelling your streaming service can actually be the easiest way to score a discount. In fact, last time we "cancelled" Disney Plus, we were offered 25% off Disney Plus Premium for the next six months, saving us $31.50.
Disney Plus perks program
One sure-fire way to score a deal is with Disney Plus itself. Disney Plus has a unique perks offering, which includes prizes and giveaways, like holidays and free movie passes. You can also score early-access to tickets and merch, invites to premieres and red carpet events and exclusive deals and discounts off theme park merch, like toys, apparel and more.
Simply become a Disney Plus member and opt into Disney's marketing emails to get all the perks sent directly to your inbox.
Here are some examples of the Disney Plus Perks on offer in Australia:
- Discounts off LVLY flower service
- Score Hoyts movie vouchers
- Win merchandise packs
- Win passes to select concerts and stage plays
- Watch in full HD on two devices
- Save between $38 and $49 per year
- Watch exclusive content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars™, National Geographic, Hulu and ESPN
Add-on extra members for $7.99 per month
While Disney Plus doesn't allow password sharing to others located at a different address, it does grant Premium plan holders the ability to add one extra member. This means a parent, sibling or friend from outside your household can tack onto your account (or vice versa) to save some money.
So instead of both of you paying $24.99 per month (which totals $49.98 per month), you could just share the one account and split the bill down the middle. This would be $24.99 per month for the one account and $7.99 per month for the extra member, so $32.98 per month. That's a saving of $17 per month.
Earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points
Sometimes a perk is just as good as a discount, and if you're a Qantas Frequent Flyer, this one's for you. If you're interested in becoming a Disney Plus subscriber, you will earn 9 points per $1, when you sign up by clicking through from Qantas Shopping.
Usually the deal is for one point per $1 spent and while we have also seen five points on offer previously, the current 9 points per $1 spent offer super generous. This means if you were to sign up to Disney Plus' Annual Premium tier (the highest available) you'll bank 2,241 points. This deal expires on December 31, 2026.
However, there are a few caveats: firstly, Disney Plus subscribers must sign up to the streaming service via Qantas Shopping Online Mall.
Secondly, Qantas Points are only valid for the first year of an annual subscription, or the first month of a monthly subscription. If you are an existing or returning customer, you won't be eligible to earn the triple Qantas Points either.
And thirdly, this offer is for online shopping only.
Bundle Disney Plus with Telstra
This one is more of a convenient perk rather than a discount. Telstra postpaid customers can bundle their Disney Plus and Telstra bills into a single payment. While this doesn't come with any savings, it does make tracking your bills easier by being more organised into a single payment.
This option is available to new customers who either sign up for the first time via Telstra. Otherwise if you're an existing or returning Disney Plus customer, you can can simply add your streaming account to your Telstra bill.
