Disney+ To Raise Prices For All Of Its Subscriptions
Disney+ To Raise Prices For All Of Its Subscriptions
Disney+ is on a meteoric rise. With exciting television series like WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier taking the world by storm, as well as blockbuster films like Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon breaking cultural barriers, the family-friendly streaming platform has been seeing more and more new subscribers signing up for its services by the day.
In fact, according to industry reports, Disney+ reached a milestone of 100 million subscribers just this month alone. Perhaps that is the reason why the company has decided to increase its subscription prices for the first time—it would be difficult for anyone in its position not to capitalize on this new wave of incoming traffic.
Disney+ will now raise its basic plan price to $7.99 per month from $6.99 per month starting on Friday, March 26. Those who currently have the Disney Bundle, which comes with Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu, will also have to pay a dollar more, with prices increasing to $13.99 per month from $12.99 per month. Additionally, the one-year membership will be raised to $79.99 per year from $69.99 per year.
For fans of the Marvel franchise, the price hike may still be worth it. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is entering the bulk of its Phase 4 of development, which means several highly-anticipated works will be headed to the streamer in the next few months. These include television shows like Loki, Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk. Also, according to recent announcements, the long-awaited Black Widow solo film will debut on Disney+ in addition to a theatrical release.
Those interested in catching these titles should sign up for Disney+ now before prices increase on Friday. At the rate it's going, the streamer could very well revisit its subscription prices again in no time, so now is the only chance for viewers to remotely save.

For decades, the classic rule of thumb for housing has been simple: spend no more than 30% of your income on rent or a mortgage. But for many Gen Z renters, the rule feels almost laughable. In cities across North America, rent has climbed far faster than wages, and entry-level salaries often collide with record-high housing prices, student loan payments, and rising living costs. The result is that millions of young adults are spending far more than 30% of their income just to keep a roof over their heads.
It's never a bad thing to pay off your credit card debt, but if your credit score gets lowered, it can seem very unfair.
Closing a credit card can feel like a clean break, until your credit score updates and suddenly looks worse. That dip is common, and it can show up as soon as the account closure is reported to the credit bureaus and the scoring model recalculates. The good news is that most of the “damage” is not permanent, but the timeline depends on what exactly changed on your credit report.
Moving in together can feel like the ultimate “we’re a team” milestone, until the first real financial decision lands on the table. For a lot of couples, that moment is the question of whether to combine everything or keep money separate. Experts generally say there is no single “right” setup, but there are clear best practices that lower stress and conflict.
It feels like a punchline, but it is a real banking outcome. A small purchase can trigger a much bigger overdraft fee if your account dips below zero at the wrong time. The big question is not whether it is fair. It is whether it is allowed.
You expect a few bumps when your child starts applying for financial aid, but being denied a student loan because they already have bad credit is not one of them. Then the truth comes out: someone opened credit cards using your child’s Social Security number years ago. Even worse, the person responsible might be your ex-spouse.
