How To Get A Year Of Disney+ For Just $79.99, Ahead Of Dec. 8 Price Hike

Want to board the Disney+ bandwagon before the subscription rate jumps nearly 40 percent? This is the way....

Through Dec. 7, a one-year Disney+ subscription will run you $79.99/year (sign up here). But starting Dec. 8, the monthly rate for the "no ads" plan will rise from $7.99/month to $10.99/month; an annual subscription in turn will fetch $109.99.

So if you have been putting off your Disney+ membership, now may be a good time to check that off your list and sign up now, before the 38% price increase takes effect on Dec. 8. And especially since so much fresh content is en route to Disney+.
