Tired of commercials interrupting your favorite Marvel movies or Star Wars series? You’re not alone. Many viewers are searching for ways to enjoy Disney Plus without ads and achieve a truly Disney Plus ad free experience. While Disney Plus offers an ad-supported plan at a lower price, the constant interruptions can be frustrating. This guide shows you three proven methods to remove ads from Disney Plus and enjoy uninterrupted entertainment.
Method 1: Upgrade to Disney Plus Ad-Free Plan
The most straightforward way to get Disney Plus no ads is upgrading to the premium ad-free plan directly through Disney.
Understanding Disney Plus Ad Tiers
Disney Plus offers two main subscription tiers in 2025. The Basic (Ad-Supported) plan costs $11.99/month and includes advertisements during content playback, typically 1-1.5 minutes of ads per viewing session. The Premium (Ad-Free) plan costs $18.99/month or $189.99/year, providing completely ad-free streaming with the added benefit of offline downloads.
Check Your Current Plan
Before upgrading, verify your current subscription.
- Open Disney Plus and navigate to your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select “Account” from the dropdown menu.
Under “Subscription,” you’ll see your current plan type (Basic or Premium). If it shows “Basic” or mentions ads, you’re on the ad-supported tier.
Upgrade to Ad-Free Plan
Upgrading is simple.
- From your Account page, click “Change Plan” under your subscription details.
- Select the Premium (Ad-Free) plan option. Review the pricing ($18.99/month or $189.99/year).
- Click “Continue” and confirm your payment method.
Your upgrade takes effect immediately, eliminating all ads from your viewing experience. Once upgraded, you’ll enjoy completely ad-free streaming across all devices logged into your account.
Method 2: Save Content for Offline Viewing
For ultimate control over your viewing experience, downloading Disney Plus content for offline viewing eliminates ads entirely and provides flexibility to watch anywhere without internet connectivity.

Using CleverGet Disney Plus Downloader
For the most comprehensive solution, CleverGet Disney Plus Downloader provides direct downloads without any ads.

Both tools eliminate ads entirely since you’re capturing the video content directly without streaming interruptions. Once downloaded, you own the content permanently and can watch on any device, anytime, without internet connectivity or subscription requirements.
Method 3: Use an Ad-Blocker
Ad-blocking browser extensions provide a third option, though with limitations compared to the methods above.
Popular Option: AdLock
AdLock is a comprehensive ad-blocking solution that works across multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
Steps to Use AdLock:
- Visit the AdLock website and download the appropriate version for your device
- Install AdLock following the setup wizard
- For desktop: The extension automatically integrates with your browser
- For mobile (iOS): Download AdLock from the App Store and configure VPN settings as prompted
- For mobile (Android): Download AdLock from Google Play and grant necessary permissions
- Open Disney Plus in your browser (not the app)
- Play content as usual, AdLock attempts to block ad elements
Limitations of Ad-Blockers:
- Inconsistent results, some ads may still appear
- Disney Plus app (desktop or mobile) bypasses most ad-blockers
- Only works when streaming through web browsers
- May cause playback issues or quality degradation
- Disney Plus actively works to detect and circumvent ad-blockers
- Violates Disney Plus Terms of Service, potentially risking account suspension
While ad-blockers are free, they’re the least reliable method and don’t guarantee an ad-free experience. Disney Plus frequently updates its ad delivery system to bypass common ad-blocking techniques.
FAQs
Can family members use my Ad-Free upgraded plan?
Yes, family members can use your ad-free plan, but they must use the same Disney Plus account. Disney Plus allows up to 7 profiles per account and supports 4 simultaneous streams. However, Disney now enforces household restrictions. Users outside your primary household must be added as “Extra Members” for an additional $6.99/month (with ads) or $9.99/month (without ads) per extra member. All profiles under the same account subscription enjoy the same ad-free benefits.
Are there any limitations to using ad blockers?
Yes, significant limitations exist. Ad-blockers only work in web browsers, not the Disney Plus app. They provide inconsistent results with some ads still appearing. Disney Plus actively detects and blocks known ad-blocking software. Using ad-blockers violates Disney’s Terms of Service and may result in account warnings or suspension. Additionally, ad-blockers can cause playback issues, buffering problems, or reduced video quality.
Can I download Disney Plus content on an Ad-Supported plan?
No, Disney Plus only allows offline downloads on the Premium (Ad-Free) plan at $18.99/month. The Basic (Ad-Supported) plan at $11.99/month does not include download functionality within the official Disney Plus app. However, using third-party tools like CleverGet Disney Plus Downloader allows you to download content regardless of your subscription tier, and the downloaded content is completely ad-free.
Are all devices supported for Ad-Free upgrades?
Yes, upgrading to the ad-free plan works across all devices. Once you upgrade your Disney Plus subscription, the ad-free experience applies automatically to all devices where you’re logged in, including smart TVs, streaming devices (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV), gaming consoles (PlayStation, Xbox), mobile devices (iOS, Android), tablets, and web browsers. You don’t need to upgrade separately for each device.
Conclusion
Enjoying Disney Plus without ads is achievable through multiple methods. Upgrading to the $15.99/month Premium plan provides the official, hassle-free solution with full Disney support and download capabilities. For maximum flexibility and permanent content ownership, CleverGet Recorder and CleverGet Disney Plus Downloader offer professional-grade solutions that eliminate ads entirely while providing offline viewing on any device. Ad-blockers, while free, are unreliable and potentially violate terms of service.
For most users, the combination of upgrading to Premium for regular viewing and using CleverGet tools for permanent offline storage provides the ultimate Disney Plus ad free experience. Choose the method that best fits your needs and budget, and enjoy uninterrupted entertainment from Disney’s extensive library.
