If you’re planning on subscribing to Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+ — and if you’re a fan of Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, or any of the other properties that Disney owns, you really should consider it — there’s another sweet deal on the table for those of you who missed out on the pre-Labor Day special.
For a limited time, a three-year subscription is only $170, according to the Orlando Sentinel. It’s a special offer that will run for an unknown length of time. You can sign up at founders.disneyplus.com and use the code “PARKSPASS3YEARS.”
This deal drops Disney+’s yearly subscription price from $70 to $56 a year — or just under $5 per month — saving you about 20% on annual subscription fees. It’s not as good a deal as the previous one that Disney offered, but if you’re thinking of signing up, it’s still a significant savings.
Digital Trends hasn’t been unable to verify this deal. At the time of publication, going to the website listed above provided us only with a black page and a small animated set of white concentric circles. It’s possible the site has been overwhelmed with demand, so be sure to check back later if you experience the same thing.
Disney will most likely have any issues sorted out soon — and it must be pretty pleased by how eager people are to watch shows and movies like The Mandalorian, Captain Marvel, and every single episode of The Simpsons. Yes, that’s right: All of them.
One deal that is very much available still is Disney’s bundle: Disney+ along with EPSN+ and Hulu for $13 per month.
Disney+ debuts on November 12, 2019, and will be the exclusive online home for the entire Disney catalog, including hard-to-find animated movies, all of the studio’s newest feature films, and original live-action TV series based on Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some of which won’t arrive until your three-year commitment is almost up.

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
