Disney Plus’ annual subscription offers discount before price increase

Disney Plus will soon raise its prices, however you still have the option to get it a bit cheaper in the next month. For now, Disney Plus’ Premium ad-free subscription is $7.99 a month with a full year available for $79.99, but on Dec. 8 that price will go up to $10.99 a month and $109.99 for a full year. So if you want the discounted price, you’ll have to subscribe before the Dec.8 change.

This increase is part of a larger shift in Disney Plus’ pricing structure. The Premium plan with no ads will increase in price. Disney also introduces a Basic plan for $7.99, which will include ads. Aside from removing ads, the Premium plan will allow users to download programs to watch offline as well, while the Basic plan won’t.

The price increase for Disney Plus as a whole is pretty easy to understand, especially considering the platform’s success. Disney’s latest earnings call revealed that the streaming platform had gained 12.1million subscribers during its fourth quarter. That brings it to more than 162,000,000 subscribers all over the globe. With growth that impressive, it’s no surprise that Disney has decided to raise the price a bit in favor of an ad-supported option.
