TLDR:

Current ad free plans for Disney+ and Hulu are now raising $3 more on October 12. Both becoming $13.99 and $17.99.

Nope, Disney isn't in financial difficulty. This was their plan from the beginning. Lure people in with low prices, then slowly raise them after gutting the catalogue of available movies and shows.

Slowly? I paid $80 for an annual plan last year. If it's $14/month, it'll be 170.

That's insane.
