Disney+ is home to a lot of beloved content, including films and TV shows by Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars. The good news is that military personnel, vets, and family members (as verified by The Exchange) can get 25% off their subscription. The not-so-good news? The discount is only applicable to the annual plan, which is currently priced at $159.99/year. The annual plan removes ads, offers Dolby Atmos, and allows offline downloads, which is why it costs more than simply paying $9.99/month.

If you’re a hardcore baseball fan, you’ll be glad to know you can tune in to your favorite pastime via MLB.TV, the league’s official streaming service. Previously MLB.TV offered All Teams and Single Team packages, but it’s replacing them with more affordable tiers that start at $5.99/month. The cheapest plan allows you to stream MLB Network 24/7 and tune into extensive baseball coverage and analyses, while the MLB.TV + At Bat plan, which costs $6.99/month, adds access to La Liga Dominicana (Spanish only), live Spring Training games, and archives from past seasons. An important reminder: if you’re still on the cord and have the MLB Extra Innings cable TV package, you’re likely entitled to a free MLB.TV subscription. Contact your provider to check whether you’re eligible.
