The Disney+ streaming service will only launch on November 12th, but you can already score a massive deal on it that lowers the entry price to less than $4 a month. The catch is that you have to subscribe to Disney’s D23 service before going for the Disney+ discount. But a free D23 membership also qualifies, so you don’t have to pay anything on top of the Disney+ subscription. Once that’s done you do have to pay $140 for three years of Disney+ service. You get to save $23 for every year, or a total of $69, which is the equivalent of one year of Disney+ access. Unsurprisingly, the deal generated lots of interest from consumers, and the D23 portal ended up crashing as a result.

If you were worried about not being able to score that free D23 membership that would get you access to the Disney+ deal, you should know the offer is valid through September 2nd, and there’s plenty of time to take advantage of it. However, do know that the invite to Disney+ might come only after 36 hours of signing up for the service. The D23 fan club site is back up and the sign-up page is live at this link.
The outage also shouldn’t give you a reason to worry that Disney+ might crash because of huge spikes in traffic. According to CNET, the D23 site and Disney+ service don’t share the same backend technology, and we already know that Disney is working hard to ensure a great Disney+ experience.
If you’re still unconvinced of whether it’s worth subscribing to Disney+ for three years, you should know that the cheapest subscription can be shared with three additional people in your family, for a total of four simultaneous streams, all supporting 4K video playback. All that will cost $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year, if you somehow miss out on this fantastic sale that discounts the subscription to just $3.92 per month.
