Breitbart reports that the streaming service lost 300,000 subscribers in Canada and the\u2063 United States in the last\u2063 quarter alone.\u2062 Additionally, none of Disney&#8217;s original Marvel or &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; shows made it to the top 15 most viewed streaming programs of 2022, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2023\/03\/01\/nolte-more-woke-disney-fail-no-marvel-or-star-wars-streaming-show-hit-top-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breitbart<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Investopedia suggests \u200bthat Disney&#8217;s decision to raise\u2063 prices may be a response to its \u2062declining subscriber numbers.

According to Investopedia, even with the increase, Disney+ is still more affordable than services like Netflix and \u2062Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200bnew pricing will take effect in October, giving\u200c subscribers time to decide whether they will continue their Disney+ subscription or join the growing\u200d number of people searching for ways\u200d to cancel.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/disney-price-hike-searches-surge-510-cancel-disney-plus-report\/\">After\u2063 Disney Price Hike, Searches Surge 510% for &#8216;Cancel Disney Plus&#8217; &#8211; Report<\/a> appeared first\u2063 on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The\u200d Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney&#8217;s price hike for its streaming service has led to a surge in Google searches for &#8220;Cancel Disney Plus,&#8221; increasing by 510% from Wednesday to Monday.
