Well, we knew it was coming: the long-awaited Disney Plus price increase is set to officially go into effect this Thursday, December 8th. This means that the price of the streaming service's ad-free Premium plan will jump from $7.99 per month to $10.99 per month, or from $79.99 to $109.99 if you pay for a full year. At the same time, Disney Plus will be launching their new ad-supported Basic plan for $7.99 per month, which is understandably a little frustrating for subscribers who have been with the service since it first launched back in late 2019.
That being said, if you're not a member yet, you still have a few more days to sign up for Disney Plus and lock in the existing annual rate of $79.99 (an instant $30 saving). On the other hand, if you are a member already, we'd recommend signing up for the "Legacy" Disney Plus bundle before Thursday. The price of that entertainment bundle — which includes access to Disney Plus (ad-free), Hulu (with ads), and ESPN Plus (with ads) — is increasing from $13.99 per month to $14.99 per month, but after December 7th, it'll be gone forever.
Just a few days left to lock in a cheaper Disney Plus rate
