Disney+ Enhances Subscription Sharing with Paid Program Expansion

October 1, 2024

Author: Akim Benamara

Disney+ has introduced an expanded paid sharing program, allowing users to share their subscriptions with family members or friends through device management within their households. This new feature is now accessible across several regions, including the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific area, following a summer pilot in select markets.

The initiative aims to streamline how users engage with their Disney+ accounts while ensuring that subscriptions remain household-centric. Under this system, a household comprises a collection of devices linked to a primary residence, which can be used by individuals living there. Users wishing to share access with individuals outside their household are now provided with options to do so, reinforcing Disney+’s commitment to flexible viewing experiences.

For those looking to add a friend or family member not residing within the same household, Disney+ has introduced the Extra Member add-on feature. This allows account holders to include additional profiles for a fee, with costs set at $6.99 per month for Disney+ Basic subscriptions and $9.99 for Disney+ Premium subscriptions in the U.S. Each account is permitted to add only one Extra Member, promoting a structured approach to subscription sharing while maintaining content security.

As Disney+ continues to evolve its offerings, the paid sharing program underscores the platform’s aim to accommodate diverse viewing habits and enhance user experiences. The expansion of these capabilities reflects Disney+’s understanding of modern viewing dynamics, catering to the need for shared entertainment in a way that balances convenience and account integrity.
