The video discusses Disney Plus's introduction of a new ad-supported plan and the restructuring of its pricing and plan options. The Basic plan with ads is priced at $7.99 per month, while the Premium ad-free plan costs $10.99 per month or $109.99 annually, which includes offline content downloads. Existing subscribers will see their cost rise from $7.99 to $10.99 unless they opt for the Basic plan. Although a poll indicates only 5% intend to switch to the ad-supported plan, some studies suggest up to 25% might consider it. Disney has also launched new bundle options combining Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus at varying price points with different levels of advertising. It is highlighted that the ad-supported plan is currently unavailable on Roku and Microsoft Windows desktop app due to ongoing ad revenue-sharing negotiations. Ads will be limited to four minutes per hour and excluded from Disney Junior and kids' profiles. Viewers are encouraged to share their thoughts and subscribe to the channel.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the new ad-supported plan launched by Disney Plus. Disney Plus now offers two plans: the Basic plan for $7.99 per month, which includes ads, and the Premium plan for $10.99 per month or $109.99 per year, which is ad-free and allows content downloads for offline viewing. Existing subscribers will automatically see their monthly cost increase from $7.99 to $10.99 unless they choose to switch to the Basic plan. Despite a poll showing only 5% of current subscribers planning to switch to the ad-supported plan, a research study suggests that as many as one in four might consider it. Additionally, Disney has introduced three new bundle options, including the Disney bundle Duo Basic and Disney bundle Trio at various price points, offering different combinations of Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus with varying levels of advertising.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses important updates for Disney Plus subscribers. Key points include that current subscribers can retain their existing plan for up to 12 months. However, the ad-supported version of Disney Plus is currently unavailable on Roku devices and the Microsoft Windows desktop app because Disney and Roku are still negotiating an ad revenue-sharing agreement. The ad-supported plan will have no more than four minutes of ads per hour and will not feature ads on Disney Junior content or content under a kid’s profile. Consequently, existing subscribers will see their monthly bill increase from $7.99 to $10.99 starting from December 8, 2022. The video then asks viewers if they will switch plans, keep Disney Plus, or switch to a different service, and encourages them to comment, like, and subscribe.
