Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

      I paid $ 79.99 less than a year ago. If they hiked it from 80 to 110, then hiked it again in less than a year that makes their practice even worse. They saw no dip in users so they thought they could go back for another bend over the bar.

      See my edited post to see proof.

      I paid $80 last year. I’ve got another month before it expires and it would then be $140. If they have raised the price in multiple increments throughout the year doesn’t change the fact that it’s 75% more expensive for people renewing over last years price.

      I was paying 69.99/year, that’s the math I’m using. Don’t know how you got such a bad deal.

      Whatever, 20% or 75% price increase still is the same $0 increase a year because you wouldn’t give your money to Disney

      I had to go double check what I’m paying. £96 for the middle tier (1080 not 4k I think), this is approx $116… So sounds like you guys were previously on a better deal (assuming same library access)

      Because the service is now 75% more expensive than what it cost when introduced only four years ago.

      If you look at what OP posted they were paying only $80, which means they raised to $110 so recently that OP hadn’t even gotten that price increase before they raised it again.
