I usually convert £12 of Tesco Clubcard vouchers to get a 3 month standard Disney+ subscription. Maybe this will also become less generous so probably worth doing again before the price rise takes effect.

Said this in another thread, but there's an easy way to get Disney+ for free. 

1 - sign up for a Club Lloyds account: https://www.lloydsbank.com/current-accounts/all-accounts/club-lloyds.html

2 - select Disney+ as you're free lifestyle benefit.
3 - set up two standing orders, one to pay £2000 into the Lloyds account and one to send £2000 back to your original account each month.

Voila - you have free Disney+

So I’ve just received an email about my annual subscription to Disney +. Last November I paid £79.95 and they now want £129.95 ! How can they justify an increase of over 60% ? I had a live chat to see if they would budge but no they simply offered me an inferior package for still more than I’m paying now. I have therefore cancelled

When Disney changed the tariffs last year anybody who didn't intervene would be moved to the Premium tariff.

If you joined about this time last year you're on the previous set of figures, so you're a year behind if you locked in soon enough.

After December 6 2023 on the next billing date (which is now 10 months down the line) you move to the premium tariff unless you intervene otherwise.

It was all documented at the time from the above link - "Current annual subscription ending on or after 6 December 2023? If you do nothing, you'll be moved on to the new, higher price from your next billing date (unless you've previously cancelled)"
