Disney+ Subscription Price Increase on October 21: How to Avoid It

Disney+ is increasing its subscription prices on October 21, which is tough news for current subscribers. Prices will go up by $2 to $3, affecting both standalone and bundled subscriptions. But, there’s a trick to avoid this hike! If you sign up for an annual subscription before Monday, you can lock in the current price for a whole year.

For example, the basic Disney+ subscription is currently $9.99/month but will jump to $11.99/month next week. Similarly, the Premium subscription, with No Ads, will increase from $15.99/month to $18.99/month. By choosing the annual subscription at $159.99 now, you won’t have to pay extra for 12 months.

Hurry up because this option only works for the Disney+ Premium subscription, not the bundled services like Hulu and ESPN Unlimited. If you want extra discounts, new subscribers can get 15% off the ESPN Unlimited bundle until January 2026, and a 22% discount on the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited bundle. Don’t worry; you can still get excellent savings on bundle offers, even with updated monthly rates starting October 21.
