As the saying goes, "All magic comes with a price." This couldn't be truer for Disney+ subscribers in Singapore who were greeted with an unexpected notification upon logging into their favourite streaming service — new subscription plans.
A Whole New World of Disney+ Subscription Plans
Disney, the dream factory that has been enchanting audiences worldwide, launched its official streaming site, Disney+, in Singapore in February 2021. With a straightforward subscription plan of S$11.98 per month, viewers were given unlimited access to a treasure trove of classic films, animated features, and original series.
But, as with any fairy tale, there's always a twist. Starting November 1, 2023, Disney+ has waved its magic wand and transformed its subscription plans. Subscribers must now choose between two tiers — Standard and Premium — priced at S$12.98 and S$15.98 per month respectively.
Disney+ Premium: A Kingdom Worth Its Price
Existing Disney+ subscribers may have been taken aback when they found their plans automatically upgraded to the new "Disney+ Premium" tier. For an additional S$4 per month, or S$159.98 annually, they can continue enjoying the same perks as before, but with added benefits.
The Premium plan boasts:
-
Up to 4K Ultra HD and HDR video

Dolby Atmos audio
