Signed up to Disney+ before 23 February 2021? Your annual bill is about to rise by £20 to £79.90 - here's all you need to know
Households who signed up for an annual subscription to Disney+ before 23 February 2021 will see their bills increase by £20 from this month. Instead of continuing to pay £59.99 a year, these customers will now be billed £79.90 a year. Below is all you need to know and what you can do about it.
Those who signed up for an annual subscription after 23 February 2021 saw the price rise take effect from 23 August 2021, while monthly subscribers' prices rose from £5.99 to £7.99 from the same date.
But those who signed up before 23 February 2021, and who are just about to roll off annual subscriptions, will now have to brace themselves for increases to £79.90 a year too. Disney+ launched in the UK in March 2020.
Worried about the price rise? Consider cancelling
If you want to cancel your Disney+ annual or monthly subscription then you can do so at any time. You'll still be able to use the service until the end of that billing cycle but you won't get a refund for any unused days or months.
To cancel your subscription, log in to your Disney+ account, select 'profile', 'account', then 'subscription' and click 'cancel subscription'.

We've full info on alternatives to Disney+ – which could be cheaper or even free – in our Watch Movies & TV Online guide. We also round up free trials for you to test before you buy. See our Digital TV Deals guide for more help on finding the best packages.
