Excellent timing...

Disney have chosen 12:30 on Thanksgiving to warn me that they've jacked the price $20+ for the annual subscription, but I do have the option to downgrade to a plan with ads.

Meep. Do they believe people won't notice in-between all that Black Friday ado?

There may be a bit of that. But being Disney, I suspect they also think they have most of their target audience over a barrel. Most will grudgingly pay the higher fee to keep not having ads. (They've been masters of creep with Disney Plus. At first, it was just one plan, then you had to pay more if you wanted to see the latest stuff before a waiting period, now they're just raising prices period AND introducing ads...)

$20 jump in one go? Yikes o.O

[grundyscribbling]

It's closer to $30 once sales tax is added in as I expect it will be.

That seems like a pretty big jump for a single price increase!

I'm sure they feel it's justified in light of such unique offerings as *checks notes* The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.

Yeah, it sucks. They sent out an email about it a couple of weeks ago, but as it's the only streaming service I have... Well, I'll pay.
