Disney+ is set to increase its subscription prices in the UK again from October, which could see some members pay an extra £24 per year.
The streaming service is home to movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Star and more.
Disney+ first launched in the UK back in March 2020 with the simple single tiered price of £5.99 per month or £59.99 annually.
In February 2021 that price jumped to £7.99 per month and £79.90 for an annual subscription.

Disney+ to charge for password sharing
This latest subscription price hike comes after it was revealed Disney+ will begin charging users if they share their account with someone outside their household.
The change will mean that the primary account holder will be charged an extra £4.99 a month (nearly £60 a year) if they do share Disney+ with anyone from another household.
The system will work similarly to Netflix's password-sharing scheme and will offer the chance to 'buy an extra member'.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
