New Disney+ price increase will hit almost all plans - here's how much more you'll pay

Disney+ has announced a price increase across almost all of its subscription plans, effective as of December 8, 2022. The basic ad-free Disney+ plan will see a $3 increase, going from $7.99 to $10.99 per month. The annual subscription will rise from $79.99 to $109.99 per year. The ad-supported Disney+ plan, launched in December 2022, will remain at $7.99 per month. However, the Disney Bundle, which includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, will see a $3 increase, going from $13.99 to $16.99 per month. The price hike comes at a time when consumers are facing economic challenges, and it may impact Disney+'s subscriber growth. The streaming service has seen significant growth since its launch in 2019, but the price increase could make it less affordable for some viewers. The move is part of Disney's strategy to increase revenue and profitability as it continues to invest in content and technology to compete with other major streaming platforms.
