I wish they offered a cheaper bundle without ESPN.I wonder if the Hulu+Disney bundle* is also going up by a buck...
*Yeah, no one cares about ESPN+

You can thank the pandemic for it. It has forced them to rethink their distribution model earlier than planned to shift more to streaming vs theatrical release. The increased cost for more original content has to come from somewhere. Only difference here between Disney+ and Netflix is that the increased original content is mostly quality on Disney while Netflix gets you maybe 1-2 good show (that they cancel after a season or two) and a few decent movies mixed with 1000 garbage original titles.It’s only $1, but I’m surprised how quick that took.
Netflix also has 10x the content as well as 20x the release output.
There is literary no reason for the price raise. Their distribution costs haven't gone up, they have incredible subscriber numbers and let's be honest ... how many times is anyone going to watch classic disney movies or specials or Avatar - again??
Honestly Mandalorian is the ONLY reason I'm paying for it. This weekend I'll be caught up and then end of 2020 I'll disconnect.
This is getting too much like Cable TV was with all our subscriptions.
^ LMAO ... (Robocop) ... not sure if the joke fits right here though ... but nicely done!
Really? How many Emmys did Disney win last year? How many Oscars? I'll gladly take Netflix's quality and quantity over whatever latest Marvel or Star Wars garbage fest Disney poops out.Quality vs quantity
I guess if I had nothing to do maybe Netflix and the quantity of shows they have might tempt me. Unfortunately or fortunately I don’t have time to waste on another Adam Sandler movie.
You pay a charity $7.99 per month as well?lol It’s a business and not a charity.
Never. These services will never catch up to Netflix pricing because I'm sure Netflix will keep increasing their price!Give it a few years and their price will be right around where Netflix is.
I hope so. I'm getting the Disney+ package and Apple Music included with my plan.I wonder if the free Verizon package will continue
I know their theme parks are taking a hit, especially Disneyland since the governor won't allow them to open at all. Disney World is limiting their capacity and only allowing at about 25% capacity. With the travels, I am sure there are a big drop at the theme parks at the other countries. I don't know how much of a hit with ESPN as far as viewers. Disney+ is probably the only thing that is helping them keep afloat.Disney must really be hurting.
Netflix itself is increasing the price every 18 months. By 2022, I suspect it will cost as much as $14.99 for HD and $19.99 for UHD. I doubt Disney+ would ever cost nearly as much in few years.Give it a few years and their price will be right around where Netflix is.
Yet another greedy company.
