Disney+ is the streaming home of nearly all of Disney’s subsidiaries,
including Walt Disney Animation Studios, Marvel Studios,
Lucasfilm/star wars, and Pixar Animation Studios.
Since 2019, in particular, a whole catalog of star wars and MCU
films, including the nine-film Skywalker saga and the entire
avengers Infinity Saga, have been added to the popular
platform, which has exceeded all expectations of subscribers.

Disney+ platform. The series – which introduced Grogu (AKA “Baby Yoda”)

universe – quickly rocketed up the charts and is now gearing up for its
third season, which will see the returns of Djarin, Grogu, Moff Gideon

It’s important to note, however, that people don’t subscribe to Disney’s
streaming deals just because of Disney+. The Disney Bundle is a great
option for entertainment fans who also want to take advantage of The
Walt Disney Company’s other offerings.
Disney describes its bundled service option as:
The Disney Bundle includes subscriptions to Disney+, ESPN+, and
the Hulu plan you select at a discounted price, compared to the
retail price of each subscription purchased separately. The
Disney Bundle is available with Hulu (with ads) for
$13.99/month* or with Hulu (without ads) for $19.99/month.

Now, however, the price of the Disney Bundle increases on August 23, 2022
thanks to an increase in the cost of ESPN+. According to a new CNBC
report:
Disney is raising the price of its ESPN+ sports streaming service
to $9.99 per month, a 43% increase.
ESPN+’s previous price was $6.99 per month. The increase will
take effect on August 23. An annual subscription to ESPN+ will
drop from $69.99 to $99.99.
It is unusual for the price of a streaming service to increase by
more than 40% in a single increase. Disney’s last two ESPN+
price hikes have been just $1 a month, first in 2020 and then
last July.

Despite choosing to significantly increase the price of ESPN+ before the
start of the National Football League (NFL) regular season kickoff on
September 8, 2022, CNBC notes that the company’s shares rose by 3%
during afternoon trading after yesterday’s announcement.
What do you think of Disney’s increase in the price of the Disney
Bundle?
