A few times a year, The Walt Disney Company holds its quarterly earnings calls. During these calls, we usually get an update on how things are looking financially for the company.

Disney+ is also expanding its options with the launch of new Standard and Standard with Ads tiers in select European and Canadian markets.
The new ad-supported plans will start out at £4.99/€5.99 month in EMEA and $7.99/month in Canada. If you are already subscribed to Disney+, you will remain in the Premium tier with No Ads and your price will go up in December, unless you switch to one of the new lower-priced plans.
