Disney Plus free trial: Is it still available in Australia?

Disney Plus quickly became one of the pricier streaming platforms in Australia with two subscription tiers; Standard, and Premium. Standard will cost you $15.99/mth or $159.99/yr, while Premium is $20.99/mth or $209.99/yr.

Like many other streamers the base level gets you less screens you can watch on, and lower video quality. For Disney, Standard means HD and two screens while Premium is 4K and four screens. Apart from that the subscriptions are the same.

It didn't used to be this expensive though. When it launched in November 2019 it was only $8.99/mth and has steadily increased every 6-9 months since then. You can still snag a deal on the platform though. Periodically Disney does some solid discounts - like right now you can get the Standard sub for just $4.99/mth for the first four months, but you'll need to get in before June 11.

Back when it was offered, a Disney Plus free trial in Australia lasted for seven days.

Almost every streaming service in Australia offers a free trial, except for Netflix and Disney Plus. There’s no better time to take each service for a test drive to at least stream the most popular exclusives on offer. We’ve got round-ups for days here at Reviews.org so have a browse through our top picks to decide which free trials are worth your time.

• The best movies on Netflix
• The best TV shows on Netflix
• The best movies on Stan
• The best TV shows on Stan
• The best TV shows on Amazon Prime Video

Even in times when there is no Disney Plus free trial available, there is still plenty worth watching on the subscription streaming service.

Now that the Disney Plus hype train has slowed to a crawl, we’d wager there’s nary an Australian out there that hasn’t taken the service for a whirl. But if you are one of the few that haven’t tried out the new streaming platform from the House of Mouse, there's not better time to check out the best TV series and movies it has on offer. You can even stream Disney Plus to your TV via a Chromecast or Amazon Fire Stick.

We’ve been subscribed since launch and can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, there is plenty worth sticking around for.
