While the price increase may be necessary for Disney to recoup some of the losses it has experienced in its streaming segment, the company needs to continue to listen to its customers and provide value for their money. Cutting content and raising prices without compelling new offerings could eventually lead to a backlash from fans.
One of the reasons Disney+ may have felt the need to increase prices is the significant amount of content that it recently cut from the platform. In November 2022, the service removed several movies and TV shows from its library, including classic films likeMary Poppins,Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

I’m already Meh about the service and their release an episode a week rather than dropping the full season at once annoys me enough too… price goes up, I find something else.

A price increase yet all their shows are less than an hour. Absolutely not getting our moneys worth

Will Disney+ Price Hike Be Worth The Cost?
The service’s focus on family-friendly content has helped it attract a loyal fan base. Its recent move to introduce a less expensive ad-supported version has also been successful. However, the streaming market is becoming increasingly crowded, with new players like Paramount+ and Discovery+ entering the fray.

Disney has a wealth of beloved characters and franchises, from Mickey Mouse toStar Wars, that it can draw upon to create new content for the platform. Additionally, Disney has several upcoming projects that could help drive growth for the service.
For example, the company announced several newStar Warsshows, includingAhsokaand TheBook of Boba Fett,and Marvel shows likeShe-Hulkdid well among their audiences. These shows could help drive subscriptions from fans without worrying about losing them as customers.
