If you’re planning on signing up for Disney Plus but haven’t gotten around to it yet, don’t wait too much longer. After the price increase on Dec. 8, the new rates for the premium, no-ad tier will be $10.99 per month or $109.99 for a full year if you pay up front.
Currently, however, the price of a full year is still $79.99, meaning that you can have significant savings if you act in the next two weeks.
