D+ actually has some of the best content of the major streaming services- all the Marvel stuff, Indiana Jones, Star Wars…

The Mandalorian, Andor, and Boba Fett every year is worth it.

Apple TV+ just announced its rate is going up too.

Disney was super cheap at the start because they really didn't have much original content and needed the subscriber growth. They've added a ton since then between Star Wars, Fox, Marvel, and original Disney movies and content.

I never like paying extra but it isn't a shock and still very worth it if you have kids.

ALl the Nat Geo stuff is worth having on its own.

I saw an ad for a Disney-Hulu bundle for $9.99, but obviously that is with ads. With no ads it is $19.99.

Indiana Jones is not on Disney+. Those are Paramount films.

Currently on a Disney+ hiatus since we started Peacock for Yellowstone.. Watched all the marvel and Star Wars I wanted to for now. When Black Panther 2 and the next Mando season drops, I'll jump back on and unsubscribe from Peacock.

I enjoy the ESPN+/Hulu bundle with D+
ESPN+ is great for college basketball/baseball and Hulu has decent movies/shows as well.

When they launched, I got locked in with their uber cheap rate for 3 years.

I had that too. It just ended. I have the Hulu, D+, Espn+ bundle now.

I was going to get peacock for yellowstone too but setup hulu to record all the episodes. They replayed all of them before s5 started.

I got the email.

I don't watch it enough to justify it so I cancelled it.

More Andor ?

Here, take my money.

i am actually surprised they held it so low for so long. they underpriced to start to get a bunch of people to sign up. then, the kids get so hooked that the parents just pay up and up to keep the peace. you know this was their plan from the beginning.

$3.

I see it as a 37.5% increase.

What are they offering that's better than what they've had?

With the additional revenue, I think they will be able to do at least a 37.5% better job at convincing your children they are some different gender than what they actually are. Should be a great ROI. Money well spent.

Username checks out.

Less than a year later and Disney is bending us over the barrel again.
Closing in on doubling the price within a year.
Annoying considering the screwing around they did with cable providers for their bundle.

Welp, my annual sub is up November 12th so looks like I will finish Loki and be done.

But with all the amazing content we should just consider ourselves lucky that they've only doubled and not tripled the price. /F13 probably

Still feel good about cancelling back when we did. Plenty of content to shop around. If anything, we have way too much content to consume when I want us outside and active.

To each their own though!

14 isn't a deal break if it's being used. May drop and add again once Andor Season 2 comes out.

Have they announced new content for 2024?

Only reason we still have it was due to 20% off from credit card promotion, so the whole year was $65 or something before the price hike last year. No renewal this year unfortunately. Enjoyed having Home Improvement and Bluey.

Seems like a price hike when, presumably, a strike-induced lack of content is forthcoming is a bad idea.

And this is a good example why Disney/ESPN and other providers need to strongly consider staying within some type of cable bundle. When Disney/ESPN used to raise prices and cable/sat tried to refuse or negotiate, those channels went dark and people were mad at the cable/sat companies and their customer service departments had to deal with trying to retain them. Now, going direct to consumer means the consumer is going to easily cancel the service (for a while) and be frustrated with the company, not the deliverer of the content.

Hiding behind a cable bundle reduces that churn as people don't realize how much they are paying for just ESPN/Disney, and they definitely aren't going to have the customer service folks handle frustrated customers.

I'm not sure it will be a real good move for ESPN to be a stand alone service like Iger is proclaiming it will be.

Used to give Disney over $100/month for Disney +, espn +, & Hulu live


But they couldn't help themselves w all the woke bull**** & targeting children


Love watching them circle the drain while they hemorrhage customers

I cancelled three episodes into the last season of the Mandalorian. It was complete garbage and other than that show and the Simpsons reruns there was no reason for me to keep a sub. After I cancelled no one in my family noticed or complained.

We will likely not renew our annual plan with Disney in a few months. It mostly is due to our kids aging out of most their shows, and they've lost interest in the Marvel and SW TV shows.

I think the final nail for them for Star Wars was Boba Fett, and they liked Miss Marvel but the newest Ant Man, Dr. Strange, and certainly Secret Invasion were just a downhill slide on Marvel side.
