Three little-known ways you can watch Disney+ for FREE ahead of looming bill hike
DISNEY+ is set to increase the cost of subscriptions in a matter of days – but fans may be missing out on a way to continue watching for free.
Users have been warned that annual premium subscriptions will jump to £109.90 on March 24, up from £79.90, following the arrival of a new three-tier plan.
The changes started at the end of last year, with the top tier now costing £10.99 a month instead of £7.99.
But it also saw the introduction of a cheaper new plan costing £4.99 with ads included.
Fortunately, there are ways you can save money and use Disney+ for free through existing products and services you may have.
Check out these three to see if you can get Disney+ free for up to a year.
