Overview

• Disney’s German signup pages now list higher monthly prices after the current three‑month promotion, moving to €6.99 for ad‑supported, €10.99 for standard ad‑free and €15.99 for Premium.
• Existing subscribers in Germany have not been rebilled at the new rates; consumer‑protection rules require clear notice and consent before raising recurring charges, following an earlier admonishment by Verbraucherzentrale NRW.
• U.S. pricing increases take effect in October, lifting Disney+ with ads to $11.99 per month and Premium to $18.99, with bundle plans also rising.
• The German increases are presented beneath a limited 2.99‑euro‑per‑month introductory offer that runs for three months, after which the higher “normal” prices apply to new monthly contracts; annual fees remain unchanged for now.
• The rollout coincides with reputational pressure linked to the temporary suspension and return of Jimmy Kimmel, which prompted boycott calls even as Disney advances its broader streaming pricing strategy.
