Disney+ has three different subscription plans available* – 'standard with ads', 'standard' and 'premium'. The table below shows the price and features of each one:
Standard with ads | Standard | Premium | |
---|---|---|---|
Price | £4.99 a month | £8.99 monthly, or £89.90 annual | £12.99 monthly, or £129.90 annual |
Adverts | Up to approx four mins per hour during TV shows, at the start of movies only | Ad-free | Ad-free |
Video quality | Up to 1080p full HD | Up to 1080p full HD | Up to 4K Ultra HD & HDR |
Concurrent streams | Two | Two | Four |
Watch offline | No | Yes, allows downloads | Yes, allows downloads |
Audio quality | Up to 5.1 audio | Up to 5.1 audio | Up to Dolby Atmos |
As you can see, you can save up to £8 per month if opting for the 'standard with ads' plan. If you're not bothered about sitting through a few adverts, don't need to watch offline, and aren't fussed about the upgraded video and sound quality, it's worth considering the cheapest plan.
If paying monthly, Disney+ allows you to move between its plans, so you can always switch if you find the cheapest plan doesn't work for you.
If you opt for the Disney+ 'standard' plan (without ads), it'll cost £8.99 a month, or the 'premium' plan (better video/sound quality and more concurrent streams) is £12.99 a month. However, if you know you'll want either plan for a whole year and you can afford to pay upfront, then you can make a saving.
The annual standard plan* is £89.90, saving £17.98 compared to the equivalent monthly cost at £107.88 for 12 months.
The annual premium plan* is £129.90, saving £25.98 compared to the equivalent monthly cost at £155.88 for 12 months.
There's no option to pay annually for the £4.99 a month Disney+ 'standard with ads' plan, which is still the cheapest option at the equivalent price of £59.88 for 12 months.
If you've not had Disney+ before and you're planning to sign up, it's possible to get up to £15 cashback if you go through this Topcashback Disney+* link.
It works best if you're signing up for an annual subscription, as that's where you'll get a decent amount of cashback, though you'll get a small amount for a monthly subscription plan too. For example, sign up to an annual Disney+ 'premium' plan costing £129.90 and you'll get £15 cashback on top, effectively making it £114.90 for the year.
Here's the full breakdown of how much cashback you can get, depending on which subscription you choose:
Disney+ subscription | Annual plan cashback amount | Monthly plan cashback amount |
---|---|---|
Premium | £15 | £2.20 |
Standard | £13 | £1.55 |
Standard with ads | N/A | £1 |
Topcashback says this is an ongoing offer (though cashback amounts may change from time-to-time), and you'll need to be new to Disney+ to get it. The cashback should be credited to your Topcashback account within 10 weeks.
Important: Cashback is never certain as things can sometimes go wrong (not tracking properly for example), so see it as a bonus rather than a guarantee. Check our Top cashback sites guide for more information.
If you have a Tesco Clubcard with enough points, you can use your Clubcard vouchers to get 50% off a three-month Disney+ subscription. It works on the following two Disney+ plans:
'Standard with ads' (has adverts, full HD video, two concurrent streams, doesn't allow downloads). Swap £7.50 in Clubcard vouchers* for a three-month subscription, normally £14.97.
'Standard' (no adverts, full HD video, two concurrent streams, allows downloads). Swap £13.50 in Clubcard vouchers* for a three-month subscription, normally £26.97.
The Disney+ 'premium' plan isn't included in the Clubcard promotion.
When you swap your vouchers, you'll get a code that's valid until 1 May 2026, so if you're an existing Disney+ subscriber you can wait till your current plan expires, then use the code.
For more ways to make the most of your Clubcard points, see our Tesco Clubcard boosting guide.
Lloyds Bank's Club Lloyds account gives you 12 months' Disney+ 'standard with ads' streaming for free (normally £4.99 a month, £59.88 for a year). The account is fee-free as long as you meet its £2,000 a month minimum pay-in – there's a £3 a month fee if you don't.
The 'standard with ads' plan is the same as the Disney+ 'standard' plan except it includes adverts during TV shows and at the beginning of movies, and you can't download content to watch offline. Club Lloyds says you can't currently upgrade to a different Disney+ plan.
You can claim the offer each year you have the account (providing Lloyds doesn't pull it). Alternatively, you can choose six Odeon or Vue cinema tickets, a Coffee Club and Gourmet Society membership, or an annual magazine subscription instead.
We're highlighting Lloyds here for the free Disney+, but see our Best bank accounts guide to check which account is best for you.

If you're an existing O2 customer, you may be eligible to add a Disney+ 'standard' or 'premium' subscription to your contract, and O2 will give you £2 bill credit each month. This means you can effectively get a Disney+ standard subscription for £6.99 a month, or a premium subscription for £10.99 a month. You'll need to sign up for a minimum of six months.
You can get this deal if you have an O2 Pay Monthly Refresh tariff, or a SIM-only 12 or 18-month contract and purchased your plan directly from O2. You can't get it if you're a 30-day SIM-only customer.
You can add this 'Extra' onto your contract either online through your My O2 account, or by calling 202 from your O2 mobile. What's more, if you've already got a Disney+ subscription, you can still get this offer. Head to the Disney+ help page to make sure you're not billed twice.
If you're a new O2 customer or you've recently upgraded, you can get up to six months free Disney+. However, the offer for existing customers has no time period or end date – so you can continue to get £2 bill credit each month for as long as you have the subscription. See O2 Disney+ T&Cs for full info.

This is an app only offer, so you need to have the Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app in order to qualify for this freebie.

What the Disney+ 'standard with ads' plan gets you...

You can watch on up to two devices at the same time, in up to 1080p Full HD video quality, but you can't download content.
