- Disney Plus has started implementing a paid account sharing feature, allowing US subscribers to add one extra member for an additional fee of $6.99/month on Basic and $9.99/month on Premium plans.
- Users outside a household can opt for their own subscriptions and transfer existing profiles, maintaining their watch history and settings, though some profiles cannot be transferred.
- Members can watch Disney Plus on supported devices when away from home by authenticating their location with a one-time passcode.
Password sharing is a thing of the past as far as major streaming services are concerned. Gone are the days when you could buy a streaming subscription and share it with your family and friends. It’s the classic bait-and-switch if you think about it. Streaming giants lured us in with good content and made us believe in the value of subscribing thanks to the shareable nature of accounts, but now that we’re on the hook, they’re bringing on the restrictions.
Disney Plus is the latest streaming service to join the paid-sharing bandwagon. The service warned users about this change a while ago, but now we finally know how much it will cost.
Starting this week, Disney Plus subscribers in the US, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region will see an option to add extra members to their accounts.
Primary users in the US will have to pay an additional fee of $6.99 per month for Disney Plus Basic subscriptions and $9.99 per month for Disney Plus Premium subscriptions. Only one Extra Member slot will be available per account.
