Money Saving Expert, a well-respected financial advice platform, has issued an urgent warning to subscribers of Disney+ ahead of impending price increases. The deadline for subscribers to take action is midnight on Thursday, October 17th. However, there is still an opportunity to avoid the price hikes if action is taken before 11.59pm on Wednesday, October 16th.
Four Disney+ plans are set to experience price rises this month. Disney+ Standard Monthly will see an increase from £7.99 to £8.99, Disney+ Standard Annually will rise from £79.90 to £89.90, Disney+ Premium Monthly will jump from £10.99 to £12.99, and Disney+ Premium Annually will go up from £109.90 to £129.90. It is important to note that Disney+ Standard with Ads Monthly subscribers will not be affected by the price increase, and will continue to pay the current price of £4.99 per month.
Subscribers on the plans impacted by the price hike will begin paying the new amounts from November 21, 2024. To avoid the new prices, subscribers will need to switch their subscription to Standard with Ads before their next billing cycle or follow recommended strategies to maintain the current prices for a longer period.
Money Saving Expert recommends that those paying for Disney+ on a monthly basis consider signing up for an annual subscription before prices escalate. By taking this action before the price increase deadline, subscribers can save a significant amount over the course of the year. Birmingham Live has reported that opting for an annual subscription by the deadline can result in a saving of £51.98 compared to remaining on a monthly plan.
Disney Plus remains a strong competitor in the UK streaming market, offering a wide range of popular titles such as ‘Only Murders in the Building’, Marvel movies, and Star Wars films. Subscribers are encouraged to take heed of the advice provided by Money Saving Expert to make informed decisions regarding their Disney+ subscription.
In conclusion, Disney+ subscribers are urged to act promptly to mitigate the impact of the upcoming price increases. By taking proactive steps before the deadline, subscribers can potentially save money and continue enjoying their favourite content on Disney+ without incurring higher costs.
