Disney Plus has ad-free and ad-supported plans.
Alyssa Powell/Business Insider
Disney Plus costs $8 a month for ad-supported streaming, or $14 a month for ad-free playback. All members get access to the full Disney Plus library of movies and shows, including exclusive series like “Loki,” new movies like “Haunted Mansion,” and a huge back catalog filled with animated classics.
The current ad-free Disney Plus price is the result of a $3 increase that went into effect on October 12. However, the ad-supported plan’s price remains unchanged. The service also offers discounts if you sign up for the Disney Plus Bundle with Hulu and ESPN Plus. And you get Disney Plus included with a Hulu + Live TV membership.
Despite the latest Disney Plus price hike, we think the platform remains one of the best streaming services you can sign up for, especially for families and fans of Marvel and “Star Wars.” Even after the increase, the ad-free plan is still cheaper than similar options from Max and Netflix.
Below, you can find a full Disney Plus price breakdown for every plan and package.

Marvel’s “Black Widow” debuted on Disney Plus with Premier Access on the same day it hit theaters.

Though the full Disney Plus catalog is included with a standard subscription price, Disney occasionally offers early access to select titles that are still playing in theaters for an additional $30 fee. This option is called “Premier Access.”
The first Disney Plus Premier Access movie was “Mulan,” released in September 2020. Disney followed up by releasing “Raya and the Last Dragon,” “Cruella,” Marvel’s “Black Widow,” and “Jungle Cruise” via Premier Access during 2021. All of these movies were eventually added to the Disney Plus catalog after about three months in Premier Access.
Disney has not announced plans to release any additional Premier Access movies in 2023.
How does the Disney Plus price compare to the cost of other streaming services?
The ad-free Disney Plus price is competitive when compared to similar streaming services like Max, Hulu, and Netflix, but it’s more expensive than other options like Paramount Plus, Peacock, and Apple TV Plus. In the chart below, you can see that the ad-free Disney Plus price hovers toward the upper midrange of ad-free plans.

If you want to watch sports and additional movies and TV shows from non-Disney sources, you can save some money by choosing one of the Disney Plus bundles with Hulu and ESPN Plus.
The Disney Plus (ads), Hulu (ads), and ESPN Plus bundle costs $15 a month. You can also bundle Disney Plus (ad-free) with Hulu (ad-free) and ESPN Plus for $25 a month. The bundle can save you more than 40% off the regular combined price of all three services.
