Disney Plus increases prices in the USA – will the subscription also be more expensive in Germany?
This has not yet been determined, but it is not unlikely.
The Disney Plus streaming service has long been able to keep up with the “old hands” Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.
Especially since the company has many popular originals to offer.
Whether Disney classics like "The Lion King" and "The Little Mermaid" or Marvel films and series such as "She-Hulk: The Lawyer" - the program on Disney Plus is as diverse as its viewers themselves And it is precisely these individual needs that the company now wants to respond to: with a price increase.
Disney Plus is becoming more expensive: users have to pay more for the subscription every month
Subscribers in the USA will have to dig deeper into their pockets for a Disney Plus subscription in the future, because the group says it is increasing the prices.
This is how much the various Disney Plus subscription models should cost in the USA:
subscription model | Monthly subscription costs | Annual subscription costs |
|---|---|---|
Disney+ Basic (with ads) | $7.99 | not available |
Disney+ Premium (no ads) | $10.99 | $109.99 |
So while in the future you will pay as much for the subscription model with advertising as you currently do for an ad-free Disney Plus subscription, you will have to pay 3 dollars more per month in the USA in the future.
The ad-free annual subscription costs $109.99.
Disney Plus will not have a cheaper annual subscription with commercial breaks.

When will Disney Plus increase subscription prices?
On its homepage, the company announces that the price increases for a Disney Plus subscription will apply from December 8, 2022.
It has not yet been officially confirmed whether the prices will also increase for subscribers worldwide – including in Germany.
However, it is not unlikely that the prices in Germany for a Disney Plus subscription will also increase.
At least the streaming service would not be alone: because Amazon Prime Video is also becoming more expensive.
