If you were thinking of using Disney+ to stream Pixar's "Inside Out 2" and Mooathon Wealth Societyupcoming Marvel series such as "Daredevil: Born Again," you're going to have to shell out a bit more money.

Monthly subscription prices for Disney+ are going up Oct. 17, Disney announced Tuesday. Also increasing in price: ESPN+, Hulu and some streaming bundles.

At $7.99 a month with ads, the basic Disney+ offering incudes movies such as "Elemental," "The Little Mermaid," "The Marvels," and "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version)," plus TV series such as "Star Wars: The Acolyte." That price will go up by $2 to $9.99 on Oct. 17 for all subscribers, current and new.

Disney+ with no ads is currently priced at $13.99, or $139.99 annually. That will increase to $15.99 monthly, or $159.99 annually.

Other services, detailed

The price increases just after Netflix said it would phase out its lowest-priced monthly subscription without ads.

Disney is hoping some customers will seek out savings by bundling more services. Launched this summer: a bundle created by Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery (HBO, Food Network and more), including Disney+, Hulu and Max (all with ads) for $16.99. A bundle of the three services with no ads is $29.99.
