Since launch, one of Disney +’s biggest draws has been its low price of $ 7 a month or $ 70 a year. However, a price increase is set to take effect this Friday, raising the cost to $ 8 monthly, or $ 80 in advance for an entire year. So if you haven’t boarded yet, sign up for an annual subscription today or tomorrow so you can pocket the $ 10 difference.
The lower price made sense at launch, as Disney + has much less content than Netflix or Amazon. But since it debuted, the service has launched new Marvel and Star Wars programs, such as WandaVision and The Mandalorian, in addition to adding classics like Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella and new releases like Mulan and Soul. And there is still a lot more to come in the coming months, as The Bad Batch and Loki. So, it’s a good time to get on board anyway.
The bundle package, which includes Disney +, Hulu and ESPN +, will also go up in price by one dollar a month – starting on Friday it will cost $ 14, $ 20 if you prefer Hulu without ads. There is no annual package, so you’ll still end up paying the new price next month, even if you sign up before March 26, but saving that extra dollar doesn’t cost anything.
