- Subscription prices for Disney+, Hulu and Disney package will be increased
- Price increase will enter into force on October 21
- The reports suggest that the increase in prices may not be restricted to the US.
Another Disney+ Price Walk will arrive in October that will see the cost of the Disney flagship transmission service, in addition to Hulu and the various packages it offers, jump up to $ 3 in the United States.
The changes will enter into force on October 21, after which the price of an advertisement plan to Disney+ will increase by $ 2 (from $ 9.99 to $ 11.99) per month, while the level without ads will jump $ 2 (from $ 15.99 to $ 18.99) per month and $ 30 (from $ 159.99 to $ 189.99) annual.
Hulu will also see costs up to $ 3 (from $ 9.99 to $ 11.99) per month. However, this will be restricted to the advertisement plan, leaving the most premium price (without ADS) without changes.
Similar increases are configured to reach several Disney packages that also include Disney+ and Hulu. The Disney+ and Hulu package (with ads), which is one of the most popular packages, will see that the costs increase by $ 2 (from $ 10.99 to $ 12.99) per month.
Meanwhile, Disney+ and Hulu plans with Live TV and ESPN Select Bundle will increase up to $ 3. The Disney+, Hulu and HBO Max will jump at $ 3, and the Hulu with Live TV, Disney+ and ESPN Select Bundle will see an increase of up to $ 7.

The news comes in the middle of the calls to boycott Disney’s transmission services after the recent cancellation saga of Jimmy Kimmel and seems to be bringing a new round of cancellations, judging by frustrated users online, with multiple redditors that have already canceled their account.
Taking into account that earlier this year, Disney announced its first loss of subscriber, these last reports are not well for Media Juggernaut transmission services. In fact, after the announcement of last year’s price increase, according to reports, he lost 700,000 subscribers during the first quarter of his fiscal year 2025.
It is worth noting that most of the closed accounts of this period seemed to be of international users, but this could even increase if the reports of the price increase that reach the coasts outside the United States are true.
According to Cord Busters, the Annual Disney+ (with ADS) plan in the United Kingdom will increase by £ 10 (from £ 89.90 to £ 99.90) on September 30, and although no other price increase has been confirmed for its other monthly plans or plans without ads, this could be a sign that there are more increases on the road.
How to avoid Disney+ Price increase
With the deadlines (potentially multiple) pricing that are coming, there is no better time to look for ways to save effective in a Disney+subscription. One of the best ways to pay less for a subscription is to see if there is any offer that allows you to obtain a free Disney+test. Disney no longer offers this introductory agreement, but you can still find it as part of a benefit for a mobile, broadband or retail membership.
There is also the option to enroll in one of the annual plans, which works cheaper than paying monthly, before the price increase enters into force. Although it is not strictly a deal, I often consider this tactic as one of the best transmission offers due to savings.
Of course, if you are not worried about losing a little content, there is always the waiting option for the Black Friday transmission agreements to start appearing in November, since there is a great possibility that Disney bring its record package agreement for Disney+ and Hulu. This was not a unique savings, since the package discount returned in March, so I think it is likely to see it again.
After all, Disney probably wants to recover subscribers after this round of pricing successes, and Black Friday would be the perfect time for anyone who wants to collect a subscription for the family for Christmas.
