- Disney + confirmed that its recent price increase extends to British customers
- The change is already in force, having been introduced on September 30
- The price increase will affect all Disney + levels
A few days after reporting the last increase in Disney + prices for American customers, we can now confirm that the change will affect those of the United Kingdom as well.
One of the best streaming services has announced price increases in each subscription, including plans without advertising. This entered into force on September 30.
The Disney + “Standard With Ads” level increased from £ 4.99 per month to £ 5.99 per month. Meanwhile, the “standard” plan (with advertising) went from £ 8.99 per month to £ 9.99 per month, or £ 89.90 per year at £ 99.90 per year – to see the full list of price changes, including for the Disney + “Premium” plan, see below.
It was a turbulent period for the Disney streaming service, as recently, Disney +, Hulu and Espn suffered a blow after millions of fans have closed their accounts on the row of Jimmy Kimmel.
What are the new Disney + Tier prices?
I described the old and new Disney + costs in the United Kingdom below, where subscribers see an increase of 11% to 20% depending on the level they are.
At a glance, it is frustrating to see that even the cheapest level of Disney + has become more expensive. Given the news, I would not be surprised if customers choose to cancel their subscriptions.

Despite the increases, the “premium” level of Disney + is even cheaper than the equivalent level (without advertising) of Netflix, which costs £ 18.99 per month, so fans of the best Disney + programs and the best Disney + films always pay less than competitors.
Price increases are always disappointing news, but there are several ways to save money on a Disney + subscription even if the new price plans are inevitable.
One of the best ways to pay less for a subscription is to determine if there are offers that allow you to obtain a free Disney +trial. Although Disney no longer offers this introductory case, you can always find it in the context of a mobile, high speed or retail subscription advantage in certain areas, so it is worth explored.
