Disney is raising the price of Disney Plus subscriptions again as part of its mission to squeeze profits from its streaming service.
The new prices will go into effect on October 21st. The standalone plan with ads will increase by $2 to $11.99 per month, while the no-ads Disney Plus Premium plan will increase by $3 to $18.99 per month (with the annual subscription going up by $30 to $189.99 per year). Various bundles are getting price increases, too, and you can see all of the price hikes in [a Disney Plus support page](https://help.disneyplus.com/article/disneyplus-en-us-price).

Not content with the number of cancellations for bowing to fascism, Disney decided they would like more cancellations and figured this would be the fastest way to do that.
I didn’t cancel yet, but now I will. Thanks for the heads up
Good timing Disney
Their content isn’t fucking worth $20 a month wtf
Just to clarify:
Disney is *NOT* flippantly deciding to raise prices based on just the last week alone (granted, the timing has aligned perfectly to fit that narrative), that’s just not the case.
When companies are hiking prices like this, they’ve been planning it for weeks/months already. They only make decisions like this after multiple meetings between multiple departments, and they formulate how much to raise it by, and THEN people in higher levels approve the decision, and then it cascades back down to everyone involved (design, marketing, public relations, tech & dev, etc), and they plan to make the change. It’s an executed coordinated plan they carry out.
The timing *REALLY* does fit, but it’s just not true.
EDIT: To the commenters, you are also correct.
While it takes forever for a company like Disney to plan and make a change, it’s also true that all it takes to kill it in its tracks is for one person at the top to make a phone call to the right person and say „stop“
Seems incredibly tone deaf after the Jimmy Kimmel situation. Anyone who would’ve considered resubscribing now probably won’t.
Anything more than $5/10 a month is too much
Well this isn’t bringing me back anytime soon.
You want me to pay you $20 a month, and still watch ads? GTFO
Oh glad I cancelled.
I wouldn’t know since I cancelled
Yeah about that… LOL.
I’ve been considering canceling all of my paid subscriptions and just using the library and free streaming services like Tubi. I’ll probably still pay for a month of any particular streaming service if there’s something I really want to watch, but it’s just not worth the money, especially since I’ll have to watch ads either way whether I’m using a paid streaming service or a free one. Especially since most of them removed the ability to download stuff and watch on the go, these services are just getting shittier and shittier and it’s not worth the cost.
Disney doesn’t have the library to justify this price increase. I wouldn’t pay $5 CAD for Disney+ even before the whole Jimmy K thing.
In December 2022, Disney introduced ads to the Disney+ service, and also introduced an ad-free option for **$11**.
If Disney’s pricing was following inflation, the plan today would cost **$12.18**.
Their new pricing structure at **$19** represents a **72.7%** increase, or a **24.2%** rate of inflation year-over-year.
Crazy.
Whelp, if you hadn’t cancelled yet…
If you’re still giving these companies money, you are the problem.
Maybe cancelling your Disney+ subscription came at the right time. I stopped Disney+ a long time ago because of their price hikes. DVDs work very well for me.
Seriously Disney, you really are going to announce this the day Kimmel is dude back on the air?
“Oh we’re suffering loss in our subscriber numbers! Let’s make it more expensive”
How do these people get to be In charge? What would bring people back is if you brought the price down (and stopped bending over for Trump)
„We’re putting Kimmel back on, so you can resubscribe at a higher price! :D“
…nah.
Cancell the subscription
Yeah, as of yesterday, I’m not paying anything each month to Disney.
Good thing I cancelled, NEVER to return!
