(AP) — Walt Disney Co. is raising prices for streaming customers in the U.S. who want to watch Disney+ without ads. The price hike is tied to a new service Disney will launch in December. It will see the basic service, which now costs $7.99 per month, begin running ads. Those who want Disney+ ad-free must upgrade to a new premium service that starts at $10.99 per month.
