  "account": "Australian Disney+ fans must hurry, as the platform's limited-time 42% off annual plan deal is set to expire tonight. Until 11:59pm AEDT on October 21, 2026, Disney+ is slashing its Standard yearly subscription to AU$125.99 (down from AU$179.99) and its Premium subscription to AU$174.99 (down from AU$249.99). This brings the Standard tier down to AUD $10.50/mo and Premium to AUD $14.59/mo - a 30% discount versus the regular annual price and a whopping 42% off paying month-to-month.\n\nThese discounted prices are exclusive to new and eligible returning subscribers who must pay up front. The deal is the largest plan discount Disney has offered in Australia since November 2025. For AUD $54 in savings, subscribers gain access to Disney+'s expansive content library, including Marvel, Star Wars, Hulu, NatGeo, ESPN shows and movies, and more. The Standard plan allows two simultaneous streams in HD, while Premium brings Dolby Atmos audio and 4K resolution to up to four simultaneous streams.\n\nWith the final months of 2026 approaching, now is the optimal time to subscribe or re-subscribe to Disney+. The platform offers family-friendly entertainment, from Disney and Pixar classics to Marvel and Star Wars universes, plus new releases from Hulu and FX, NatGeo documentaries, and ESPN live sporting events. New additions include Marvel Television's follow-up to WandaVision, Moana (2026), the Hulu thriller Phony, and The Mob reality competition series. However, subscribers must act quickly, as the deal will close at midnight on October 21, 2026.",
