Disney has announced that they will be phasing out their current streaming service, Disney+ Hotstar in 2025. This comes as no surprise as the streaming landscape is rapidly changing and Disney+ is determined to remain competitive. As part of the phase out, Disney+ will be streamlining their current offering of both movies and television content, as well as dropping certain shows and films.
The main benefit of the transition is that Disney+ will be able to offer more content in HD and 4K quality, which is not currently available. In addition, the company will be providing more original content, such as the forthcoming Star Wars series “The Mandalorian.”
Disney+ will also be reducing the number of channels available. Some of the channels that will be reducing include Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD. This will mean that the majority of content will now be available only through the streaming service. As part of the transition, viewers will now need to pay an additional fee to access certain channels.
Disney+ will also be reducing its library of movies and shows, in order to make room for more exclusive content. This means that some favorites, such as The Simpsons, will no longer be available. However, in their place, Disney+ will be offering brand new content, such as the upcoming High School Musical series.
Finally, Disney+ is also increasing their pricing structure. Starting from 2025, the prices for subscriptions will start at $8.99 per month, with additional tiers up to $17.99 per month for those wanting access to the complete Disney+ library.
The changes to Disney+ Hotstar in 2025 are sure to be a disappointment to some fans. However, for those looking for more content in HD and 4K, as well as more original content, the transition may prove to be a beneficial one.
A Look At What Disney Is Phasing Out In 2025
Disney is known for its entertainment, but in 2025, the company is phasing out some of its most beloved attractions. Here’s a look at what Disney is getting rid of in 2025.
One of the first things to go is the Tower of Terror roller coaster. The ride, which opened in 1994, was a thrilling journey through an abandoned hotel that Disney had bought and turned into a ride. The ride was beloved by fans, but Disney has decided to close the ride and replace it with a new attraction. The new attraction will be called Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout! and will feature rides, shows, and interactive games.
Disney is also phasing out the Main Street Electrical Parade. The parade, which ran from 1972 to 1996, was a fan favorite. The parade featured colorful floats and characters, as well as music from the classic Disney movie, Fantasia. The parade was brought back in 2017, but Disney has decided to end it in 2025.
In addition, Disney is getting rid of its fireworks show, Wishes. The show, which ran from 2003 to 2017, was a popular spectacle that featured fireworks set to classic Disney songs. The show was replaced by Happily Ever After, but Disney is phasing out the show in 2025 in favor of a new fireworks show.
Finally, Disney is phasing out the Sorcerer’s Hat, which was located in front of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The hat was a popular meeting spot for guests, as well as a photo opportunity. The hat was also the entrance to Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Workshop, an interactive experience that allowed guests to become Mickey Mouse’s apprentice. In 2025, the hat will be removed and replaced with a new entrance to the park.
Disney is phasing out some fan-favorite attractions, but the company is also bringing in new experiences. With new rides, shows, and interactive experiences, Disney will continue to provide its guests with magical experiences for years to come.
