The trend in the streaming market is obvious: widespread price increases and more advertising. Después de la ‘golden era’ of the sector, with a multitude of services at low prices and with much content, in los ultimos meses prácticamente allos los servicios han aplicado changes a sus planes y sus políticas, incluyendo medidas para avitar que los usuarios puedan compartir la account.
It is now the turn of Disney+, which already increased the prices of its monthly packages last November, to be able to introduce the new cheap package with advertising; So, users who paid monthly started paying 5.99 dollars for the standard plan with advertising, 8.99 dollars per month for the standard plan, and a new plan was created. Premium package at 11.99 dollars
It’s now the turn of users who pay annually for Disney+. The company today started sending emails to all users affected by this increase, which means that They will have to pay 33% more for the same service that they enjoyed until now.
Disney+ price increase
Concretely, users of the annual Disney+ package have until now only paid 89.90 dollars each year to access the benefits of the Premium package. It ends, and now they will have to pay 119.90 dollars per year to access the same content with the same quality and the same benefits. More specifically, this is the Premium plan, with 4K and HDR video quality, Dolby Atmos surround sound and playback on up to 4 devices.
An important detail is that the price increase will now only be applied to the user’s next renewal. This is important because we have to be very careful about our renewal date, because If we do not cancel before that day, Disney will charge us the new price.
In other words, if we were to renew in April, it is only in that month that the new price of 119.90 dollars will be charged and we will be able to continue using Disney+ Premium even if we had paid 89.90 dollars initially. era ; Therefore, each user will have a different day when they will have to start paying more.

That will be little consolation to users who have been seeing steady increases over the past year, not just on Disney+, but across all the streaming services they use; It’s no surprise that many families wonder which service takes priority and which is best to cancel. Another option in the case of Disney+ is switching to the Standard package, which has the same price of 89.90 dollars per year but this reduces video quality to 1080p, audio quality to 5.1 and limits playback to 2 devices.
