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.

Weird. My monthly rate is going up by $2. 75%??????

The previous rate was $80/year, now moving to $140. That's a 75% increase.

Per the email, their current monthly rate was $10=>x<11, so that's only a jump of $20 a year.

You've misread the email. They said 12 months for the price of 10 months, not dollars.

Ah, they made that pretty ambiguous by putting the asterisk where they did.

Heard the price hikes such platforms led to an increase in the amount of grass being touched

I would love for there to be a consumer protection law, whenever a price changes for recurring service, the customer must affirmatively and proactively agree to the new price otherwise the service ends.

No surprising people with price increases,

I had no idea they charged 80/mo....now upping that??? looooool. I always thought the new subscription services were between 10 & 15....we've been on the high seas for a long time I guess.
