We covered the same deal in the very first edition of our Top Tech series way back in September, but now it’s back and with one major upgrade. New and returning customers can now .

In previous campaigns, those signing up for the deal could lock in the discounted rate for three months, but this time it’s been extended to .

At the end of the four-month promotional period, will automatically renew at the then-current monthly retail price until cancelled, which now sits at £4.99. With the deal, Disney+ is now the cheapest platform among the major streamers, beating the cheapest subscription tiers of Netflix (£5.99), Amazon’s (£5.99) and (£8.99).

It offers streaming in 1080p Full HD video, up to 5.1 audio and the ability to stream on two devices simultaneously. These are the same features included with Netflix’s Standard with Ads tier but for a fraction of the price.

Like many of us, the thought of adverts interrupting our favourite titles can be off-putting, but Disney+ actually plays fewer ads than terrestrial TV. It shows on average less than four minutes per hour of TV, while ads will only play before a film starts and not during.

There is a way to save even more money on a Disney+ subscription for those who are happy to make a longer-term commitment. Disney+ offers the equivalent of two months free with its annual Standard and Premium plans, which provide .

They’re set to join an ever-growing library featuring recent hits and critically acclaimed series, Andor, Welcome to Wrexham, Rivals, Only Murders in the Building and Shōgun, as well as Disney blockbuster Snow White. members have been raving about the streamer’s library on Trustpilot, with one five-star review hailing its ‘fantastic and constantly updated collection’.

Another says: “I love Disney+. I’m a Star Wars and Marvel fan but since the addition of Starz it boosted my love, there’s even more content for adults now that’s worth it all round.”

However, the same member added: “Only reason it didn’t get five stars is Disney are not using their other brands in the subscription. If they did this could easily be the best subscription service ever but there is much more content locked behind their own service.”

This happy streamer said: “Good servers, good services, this nostalgia when watching old cartoons from TV. The subscription is really cheap compared to other streaming services.”

While this five-star review said: “Very good selection, friendly support and easy to cancel if you need to. Very easy to navigate their site and the openess and transparency they show should be a model for others.”
