DisneyPlus has joined Netflix in charging an additional fee to share memberships outside of a member’s primary household – so, essentially, you can say goodbye to free account sharing.
The feature was launched in select markets over the summer, but has now been rolled out in United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Like with Netflix, you can still watch Disney Plus if you’re on vacation or move house, though. When prompted, you just have to select one of two options: ‘I’m away from home’ or ‘update household.’
