Disney+ will be raising prices for existing UK customers next week - but there is a way to avoid paying more.

Currently, Disney+ customers pay £7.99 a month (which adds up to £95.88 over 12 months) or £79.90 for the year if you pay upfront. But from November 1, the subscription service will be changing the plans it offers.

Disney's one current plan will become its "Premium" plan and the price will increase to £10.99 a month - that's a £3 a month price rise, which is equivalent to a £36 a year. If you pay upfront, the price will rise to £109.90, which is a £30 a year rise.

The streaming service will also add a "Standard with Ads” plan which will cost £4.99 a month. This plan will have no annual fee option. There will still be a plan that costs £7.99 a month - or £79.90 a year - this will be called the “standard“ deal, but it comes with fewer perks compared to what customers get now.

One of the perks you will lose is the amount of devices you can use your Disney+ account on. You can currently stream on four devices but from next week, you'll only be able to stream from four devices if you move to the “premium” plan. The "standard" plan will only allow you to stream from two devices.

At the moment, Disney+ automatically displays the highest quality video your device can support. However, from next week the “standard” plan will allow you to watch in up to Full HD 1080p and with 5.1 and Stereo audio, while the “premium” deal will offer video quality of up to 4K UHD and HDR, with Dolby Atmos sound.

Everyone who is currently signed up to Disney+ will be automatically moved to the more expensive “premium” plan from December 6 - unless they choose to move to one of the cheaper deals. However, there is a way of getting your pan slightly cheaper if you don't want to pay the increased prices.

If you are paying on a month by month basis, you should switch to an annual subscription instead before the prices rise on November 1.

If you do nothing, your monthly rolling price will rise from £7.99 a month to £10.99 a month from December. If you stay on that monthly rolling price for the next year you'll fork out £131.88 in total.

But if you can afford to take out an upfront annual subscription by 11.59pm on 31 October, you'll only pay £79.90 – a £51.98 saving in comparison over the year.

If you are already paying for the annual subscription, to be able to save some cash it will depend on when your subscription ends. Before December 6 - then you can renew for another year at the current prices. After that, then you will be moved onto the new plan at your next billing date - unless you cancel it before then.

You can cancel your subscription if you are unhappy about the changes. All you need to do is "Cancel subscription" under the "subscriptions" section of your account.

If you cancel halfway through your billing cycle, you'll be able to carry on using your account until the next billing date but you won't get a refund on any portion unused.

If you were thinking about getting Disney+, then you may want to think of signing up before 11:59 on October 31. You should also check and see if you can get discounts elsewhere first - for example you can get three months of Disney+ for £12 with Tesco Clubcard vouchers.
