Get ready for a pinch in your pocket as Disney Plus has officially rolled out its price hike starting today, October 17th. Whether youโre on the basic plan or the premium plan, youโll now be shelling out an extra $2 per month. This move reflects the growing trend of escalating streaming service fees, a burden that many subscribers are all too familiar with.
Hereโs a breakdown of the new pricing:
- The basic plan will now cost $9.99 per month, up from $7.99.
- The premium plan is now priced at $15.99, a jump from $13.99.
But thatโs not all โ Disney is also increasing prices for its other streaming services, including Hulu and ESPN Plus. Huluโs ad-supported plan will now set you back $9.99, while the ad-free option comes in at $18.99. On the other hand, ESPN Plus, with ads, is now priced at $11.99.
Even the bundle options are not spared from the price hikes. The bundle that includes Disney Plus and Hulu with ads will now cost $10.99, while the ad-free variant remains at $19.99.
Be aware that these new rates will kick in during your next billing cycle. Keep in mind that prices may vary for Disney Plus if you are billed through third-party partners, depending on platform limitations and country-specific pricing.
While customers may not be thrilled with the increased costs, Disney Plus aims to sweeten the deal by promising new content additions to enhance the subscription value.
In conclusion, if youโre a Disney Plus user, brace yourself for the uptick in prices, but keep an eye out for the exciting content updates that may just make the adjustment worthwhile.
