Disney+'s price increase will initially apply to new subscribers starting November 10, 2026. Existing subscribers will retain their current prices for the time being, so their next payment will not automatically increase simply because November 10 has passed. However, no specific end date has been announced for the existing-price arrangement.
The most important distinction in this change is between new subscriptions and existing subscriptions that remain active. The Standard plan will increase from KRW 9,900 to KRW 11,500 per month, while Premium will increase from KRW 13,900 to KRW 16,500. Subscribers using telecom providers or other partner services should also check their separate billing arrangements.
How Much Will Disney+ Prices Increase Starting November 10?
The monthly prices for new subscribers signing up on or after November 10 will be KRW 11,500 for Standard and KRW 16,500 for Premium. These represent increases of KRW 1,600 and KRW 2,600, respectively, compared with the previous prices.
| Membership | Previous Monthly Price | Monthly Price for New Subscribers |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | KRW 9,900 | KRW 11,500 |
| Premium | KRW 13,900 | KRW 16,500 |
| Standard with Ads | No previous offering | KRW 7,000 |
Based on the monthly prices, the increases work out as follows:
Standard: An increase of KRW 1,600 per month, or KRW 19,200 over 12 months.
Premium: An increase of KRW 2,600 per month, or KRW 31,200 over 12 months.
These are the author's calculations, assuming the difference between the previous and new prices remains unchanged for 12 months.
The revised lineup also introduces Standard with Ads. This plan costs KRW 7,000 per month and will be rolled out gradually starting November 10. All users will be able to subscribe starting November 17, according to the announcement.
The ad-supported plan may display advertisements before or during content playback. Therefore, subscribers who prefer an ad-free viewing experience should compare the regular Standard and Premium plans.
Will Existing Subscribers Pay More From Their Next Billing Date?
If you continue to maintain your existing subscription, you will not automatically be charged the increased price from your first billing date after November 10. Existing subscribers have been informed that their previous prices will remain in effect for the time being.
For example, if you currently use Standard for KRW 9,900 per month, that price will remain in place for now. Premium subscribers will likewise continue paying their existing monthly price of KRW 13,900.
However, there is an important detail to keep in mind. The existing-price arrangement is not guaranteed to continue indefinitely.
The currently published information does not specify when the existing-price arrangement will end. If a future price change affects existing subscribers, they are expected to receive a separate notification.
Therefore, when checking your next billing date, do not focus solely on whether it falls after November 10. Check the actual amount scheduled to be charged in your account.
Can You Keep Your Old Price by Canceling and Subscribing Again?
Maintaining an existing subscription and canceling it before subscribing again are two different situations.
The announcement that existing subscribers can retain their previous prices applies to people who continue using their current subscriptions.
Since new subscription prices will apply from November 10, you should not assume that canceling your subscription and signing up again will allow you to keep your previous price.
You should also check the actual amount charged when changing membership plans. Disney+ explains that the timing of plan changes and the amount charged immediately may vary depending on the membership type.
It is particularly important to review the payment screen before making any changes in the following situations:
You want to upgrade from Standard to Premium.
You want to downgrade from Premium to Standard.
You want to cancel your subscription and start using the service again later.
You are currently using the service under a promotional discount.
Promotional prices and regular subscription fees should be checked separately. The announcement that existing subscribers can retain their previous prices does not mean that every promotional discount currently in effect is guaranteed indefinitely.
What If You Subscribe Through a Telecom Provider or Partner Service?
People who access Disney+ through a telecommunications provider or another partner should check their subscriptions separately from customers who pay Disney+ directly.
This is because billing, discounts, and subscription benefits may differ depending on which company handles the payment.
Disney+ also offers bundle packages that combine its service with TVING and Wavve. Its official website currently lists a Disney+ and TVING bundle at KRW 18,000 per month and a Disney+, TVING, and Wavve bundle at KRW 21,500 per month.
These bundles have different billing arrangements from subscribing to each streaming service individually. Payment, cancellation, and membership changes within a bundle should be checked against the relevant terms and the policies of each service provider.
If your subscription is managed through a telecom provider or an external partner, check the following:
1. Confirm whether you pay Disney+ directly or are billed through your telecommunications provider.
2. Check whether your current membership is Standard or Premium.
3. Check the monthly amount payable under your plan, including any partner benefits.
4. Check the price that will apply after any promotional period ends.
5. Confirm your next billing date and the actual amount scheduled to be charged.
Whether partner subscriptions will undergo the same price changes should be confirmed through separate announcements from the relevant providers.
Where Can You Check Your Next Disney+ Payment Amount?
If you pay Disney+ directly, check your subscription information and payment history in your account.
The key details to review are your current membership, billing cycle, next billing date, and scheduled payment amount.
Monthly and annual subscriptions have different billing cycles, so you should not assume that the November 10 price-change date determines when your actual payment will be charged.
Subscribers who pay through a telecommunications provider or partner should check that company's billing records and subscription management page.
If the displayed price differs from what you expected, check these three things first:
Whether an existing discount or promotional offer has expired.
Whether a membership change has triggered a new subscription price.
Whether you have more than one active Disney+ subscription.
Disney+ Customer Service also advises customers to review these items when they encounter an unexpected charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can subscribers who joined before November 10 continue paying KRW 9,900?
Subscribers who maintain their existing subscriptions will retain their previous prices for the time being. However, since no specific end date has been confirmed, KRW 9,900 should not be considered a price guaranteed forever.
Q. Will my price definitely increase when my next billing date arrives after November 10?
No. Existing subscribers have been informed that their previous prices will remain in effect for the time being. You should check the scheduled payment amount displayed in your account to confirm the actual price that applies to you.
Q. Will free subscriptions provided by telecommunications companies also become more expensive?
It cannot be assumed that every partner subscription will follow the same price-increase rules. Check the terms and separate announcements from your telecommunications provider and the partner service you use.
Q. What is the cheapest Disney+ subscription plan?
The newly introduced Standard with Ads plan costs KRW 7,000 per month. It will be rolled out gradually starting November 10, with all users able to subscribe from November 17, according to the announcement.
Q. If an existing subscriber cancels now, can they sign up again later at the old price?
The existing-subscriber price arrangement and signing up again after cancellation are different situations. If you resubscribe on or after November 10, you should check the new-subscriber pricing rather than assume your previous price will still apply.
