Disney Plus costs $8 a month for ad-supported streaming, or $14 a month for ad-free playback. All members gain access to the full Disney Plus lineup of movies and shows, including original series like "Loki," recent movies like "The Little Mermaid," and upcoming release like "Percy Jackson and The Olympians."
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 has remained unchanged. The service also offers discounts if you sign up for the Disney Plus Bundle with Hulu and ESPN Plus.
Despite the Disney Plus price hike, we think that 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 premium options from Max and Netflix.
Below, you can find a full breakdown of pricing for every Disney Plus plan and package.

What is Disney Plus Premier Access?
Marvel Studios
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.
