DVC vs. D23

[KAT4DISNEY]

The offer has now come in for me, too.
I have a feeling this is just really smart marketing by Disney, and only a so-so "deal". They get you to commit to two things: a fan club and their streaming service for three years, and in exchange you get 33% off the price.
Considering that you are signing up a for a product that you are yet to preview, unsure of what exactly can be found in their library, 33% off for a three year commitment, paid up front, seems like a reasonable trade off, not a steal.

They have published a list of a lot of what they will be offering on the service if you do a search. Also, I've been a general member of D23 for 7 years or so. Usually forget that I am.

I'm not saying it's a bad deal at all. I should have signed up for d23 years ago myself with how much I keep up on Disney anyway. I'm just pointing out that you are trading a 3 year commitment to a new product for 33% off. Most companies would take that deal any day. Our local six flags offered 60% off an annual pass for next year as long as you bought it before the end of this September.
This is smart by Disney because it will bring their initial subscriber numbers up.
The thing that really sets Disney+ apart is their initial low price, even without this deal. My wife and I were discussing dropping netflix and picking this up, and that's exactly what Disney wants. Especially if we commit in advance to doing that for 3 years straight.

This might be the best deal that Disney has given out lately, it is much cheaper than Netflix, and might end up having a bigger catalog of videos from day one. I also think that they want to show the Industry a huge number of sign ups at the very beginning, along with Wall Street. If they get a huge number of initial member, it could send Disney's stock up 10% or more.

I agree that the service is quite the game changer. The $13 plan that includes Hulu and ESPN has me interested in signing up for that, and not only dropping Netflix, but also moving to only basic cable. That's a pretty big power play, even from a corporation like them.
I agree that they are trying to get their initial subscriber numbers way up. Their stock shot up when they announced the low price of Disney+, and high subscriber numbers would help support the enthusiasm behind that initial bump.

$4/month for the next 3 years, is probably the best deal there going to give. I'm guessing with this deal they will get well over 1 million subscribers, possibly 2 million. We already told 3 friends about it, who were very interested in it. So multiple that by most D23 members or Disney fanatics that follow everything Disney.

 

[Ben E N]

I went ahead and got it as well. If I find the $13 per month plan to be more to my liking, I am trusting that Disney will be happy to let me give them more money in order to get it.

I am not 100 percent sure on this but I listen to a podcast with a guy from Canada and he said because of the broadcasting rules ,he didnt think they would get it right away --
Good luck

It costs $6.99 a month, or $69.99 a year, though Disney is offering a discount that brings the cost down to about $4 a month if you sign up for three years before September 2. "

I was only speaking to the discount offer, which is only available to US residence. My quote came directly from the D23 web site.

From what I’ve gathered from deal discussions over the years, Six Flags has crazy good AP prices every fall. It can be even better when stacked with their all-year dining plans.

Personally, I’d expect D+ to be closer to $16/mo, $149/year in 3 years, so this has potential to be great like buying DVC for $50/point when they opened.
