Is a Disney Plus price increase on the way? It's a good question. There are more streaming services vying for our cash than ever these days, and costs just keep going up. 

Fortunately, you don't need to worry about shelling out more for the time being. We just got a Disney Plus price increase as of October 12 in the US and November 1 in the UK, so another one is unlikely. Well, at least for a little while...

To fill you in on everything you need to know about Disney Plus price increases (and how to beat them), we've gathered all of the advice we can muster from years of covering this beat.

The Fall of 2023 saw the latest Disney Plus price increase, so we're unlikely to get another one any time soon. Here's everything that changed, and everything that stayed the same:

US

  • Monthly (ads): $7.99p/m - no change 
  • Monthly (no ads):  $13.99p/m - $3 more
  • Annual (no ads): $139.99 - $30 more
  • Disney Plus (ads) + Hulu (ads):  $9.99p/m - no change
  • Disney Plus (no ads) + Hulu (no ads): $19.99p/m - new
  • Disney Plus (with ads) + Hulu (with ads) + ESPN Plus (with ads): $14.99p/m - $2 more 
  • Disney Plus (no ads) + Hulu (no ads) + ESPN Plus (with ads): $24.99p/m - $5 more

UK

Canada

Australia

As you may have noticed, Australia saw no change and Canada gained an ads membership. The US and UK got the bulk of the changes, with both having more options than ever. 

It's interesting to note that Brits actually got a cheaper option (with ads) rather than experiencing an outright increase across the board. However, the observant among you will also see that the 'standard,' no ads Disney Plus sub won't have 4K any more - it's being reserved for the more expensive £10.99p/m option.

We just had a Disney Plus price increase (on October 12 in the US and November 1 in the UK), so more changes in the near future are unlikely. Well, unless you're in Australia - that region experienced no price hike at all.

Basically, you don't need to worry about paying more for your Disney Plus sign-up any time soon. If we had to guess, we won't see another price increase until next Fall at the earliest (apart from Australia, anyway).

There isn't a lot we can do to avoid Disney Plus price hikes when they arrive, but you can save money if you act before they land. So long as you get an annual bundle (available below) the day before the price increase comes into effect, you'll be able to save yourself plenty of money on an annual membership. Better still, you won't have to deal with any changes until the following year. 


Considering giving Disney Plus to family or a loved one? If they haven't subscribed before, a Disney Plus gift card is probably your best bet. Looking for other streaming service offers, on the other hand? Don't miss our guides to the best HBO Max prices, Fubo TV costs, and Peacock TV costs.
