Tricks to get free Disney+ membership without any trials – and top option gets you full year of TV app worth £60

Sadly Disney no longer offers free trials for its Netflix rival in the UK – but there's still hope for plenty of Brits.

It turns out that free Disney+ is a built-in perk for several services that you might already be using.
That means you can access its massive library of Disney content, including Star Wars and Marvel shows and movies too.
DISNEY+ DISCOUNT TRICK #1 – MOBILE NETWORK
If you're an O2 customer and a Disney fan then you're in luck.

The main perk is a free six-month membership to the Disney+ Standard plan.
That's normally billed at £8.99 a month – equal to £107.88 a year.
It's available if you're new to O2 or upgrading with the network.
This is the closest thing to a Disney+ free trial that exists in the UK today.

Once that's up, you can then add Disney+ Standard or Premium to your plan as a paid extra, and then get £2 a month back as a discount to your airtime bill.
DISNEY+ DISCOUNT TRICK #2 – BANK ACCOUNT
Phone networks aren't the only way to bag free Disney+.
Netflix unveils first TV make-over in 10 years for millions of viewers
There's a special benefit for Lloyds Bank members who have opened a Club Lloyds current account.
This is a free account if you're putting at least £2,000 a month into it – or £3 a month if you pay in less than that.
Once you've got this account, you can choose a free Disney+ subscription as a benefit.
You'll receive a free 12-month subscription to Disney+ on the Standard With Ads plan. That's normally £4.99 a month, or about £60 a year.

This plan gets you Full HD 1080p viewing, two streams at once, and the regular library of content (albeit interrupted by ads).
The downside is that you can only get the "With Ads" subscription – and there's no way to upgrade it to Standard or Premium during the free period.
Once you've chosen Disney+ as a benefit, you'll have to wait for the 30-day selection period to end.
After that, a Disney+ activation link should be issued within two working days.
SUBSCRIPTION TRICK – SAVE HUNDREDS!
Once you've checked your subscription renewals, try the swap trick too...
Here's a clever method from The Sun's tech editor
Look, streaming bills are a nightmare. Especially when it comes to TV.
There are loads of services – all packed with top telly – that demand your cash.
So
Cancel all of them but, say, Disney+, then watch that for a month.
Now bin it, and
Then scrap that, and swap to Amazon's Prime Video for the third month.
Once you're done (or you've added a fourth service to your mix), start over from the beginning.
It means you get to watch all of the top TV shows and movies on these services without paying for a full 12 months for each. You'll save hundreds over a year.

You'll be able to use that to claim your free year of Disney+.
DISNEY+ DISCOUNT TRICK #3 – SHOPPING LOYALTY SCHEME
If you don't have a Tesco Clubcard already, go get one now.
They're free to claim, you can add it to your phone's virtual wallet, and you'll get in-store discounts – as well as a very tempting Disney+ perk.
It's not technically free Disney+, but it's a major saving regardless.

You can trade Tesco Clubcard vouchers for discounted Disney+

Tesco will effectively double the value of your Clubcard vouchers if you're spending them on Disney+.
For instance, you can swap £7.50 in Clubcard vouchers for a three-month Disney+ Standard With Ads subscription (usually £14.97).
And a Standard three-month subscription worth £26.97 can be snagged for just £13.50 in Clubcard vouchers.
Just go into the Clubcard app, place the order, and wait for your "Partner Code" to appear in the My Rewards section – and via your email. You might have to wait 15 minutes for the code to turn up.
Sadly it's not possible to trade Clubcard vouchers for the Disney+ Premium plan.
But it's worth noting that Tesco has previously given away three-month Disney+ memberships for free to Clubcard members, so keep an eye out for offers like that in the app.
It's also worth noting that this Tesco Clubcard offer is available for both new and existing Disney+ subscribers, so it's a great way to save some money.
As you're technically getting the Disney+ membership for half price – and through free vouchers, no less – this is like bagging a no-cost subscription for at least part of your year.

I've dubbed Lilibet the ‘jigsaw girl', Meghan Markle's bizarre birthday photos shows exactly why, says expert
PRINCESS Lilibet has been hailed as a 'jigsaw girl' following her fourth birthday photo. On Wednesday, the daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated her birthday - with the duchess 7 Meghan Markle shared this photo of Princess Lilibet for her fourth birthday this week Credit: Instagram/Meghan 7 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex like to protect the privacy of Lilibet and Archie by concealing their faces Credit: Instagram 7 One of the only photos we've seen of Lilibet's face was her first birthday picture Credit: PA 7 On The Sun's Royal Exclusive show Charles Raw and Sarah Hewson spoke to host Bronte Coy, with Charles calling Lilibet a 'jigsaw girl' Credit: Supplied One showed However, both snaps showed a partial view of Princess Lilibet's face for privacy. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, former Sun Royal Correspondent and author Charles Rae discussed the intimate post, with host Bronte Coy saying it showed 'almost Lilibet's whole face.' He said: 'I like your definition of almost the full face. More on Princess Lilibet 'I'm dubbing Lilibet the jigsaw girl because over the four years, all we've seen is an ankle, an arm, a bit of a nose, maybe a forehead.' He added: 'I'm all for them protecting their children. 'I've got no problems with that as well. 'But, you know, this sort of half bits of the child, it doesn't do anything for me.' Most read in Royals Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson pointed out that the last time we had a proper portrait of Lilibet was She shared: 'Apart from that, we haven't really seen her face. We see the backs of them. Meghan shares rare video of Lilibet BEEKEEPING with pair in matching outfits 'We do know so little about Lilibet because they moved to California .

I'm dubbing Lilibet the jigsaw girl because over the four years, all we've seen is an ankle, an arm, a bit of a nose, maybe a forehead Charles Rae Former Sun Royal Correspondent and author 'We know that their safety is a huge issue.' We last got a glimpse of Instagram - but it was taken from behind. 7 Meghan recently shared this photo of Princess Lilibet in a beekeeping suit Credit: Instagram/meghan GUARDED FAMILY Bronte continued: 'They're releasing bits of the kids, but in a very guarded way still. 'But both Harry and Meghan have been accused in the past of hypocrisy in this area. 'As a parent, of course, I do understand it is completely a prerogative what you share of your children online. 'They have said things in the past about their privacy. 'And then now Meghan having launched her Instagram in January, she has been releasing more and more of the kids, which is her decision.' 7 Meghan shared this photo of Archie from behind for his birthday Credit: Instagram Sarah claimed it is 'fair play' what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex share on Instagram now that they are no longer senior working royals. The couple famously stepped down in 2020 and now live in the star-studded Montecito California, in a £12million mansion with Prince Archie , six, and Princess Lilibet, four. Sarah added: 'With Harry and Meghan, of course, we'd all love to see more because we're really interested in those little children. 'But I think it's entirely fair that they say, 'you know what, it's on our terms'. 'And that's what this is, very much on their terms, Meghan on her own platform, the images they choose to curate.' KATE AND WILLS' VIEWS 7 The Prince and Princess of Wales recognise George, Charlotte and Louis 'play a public role', according to experts Credit: Getty She pointed out that Prince William and Princess Kate may have a different approach with their own kids, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and The royal expert explained: 'I think with the Waleses, they recognise that their children are going to play a part in public life. 'And they are being funded by the public as well. 'And they are going to take on significant roles in the future of the country and the monarchy. 'And therefore they recognise that they need to share. 'But they're also quite careful about when they share those moments of their children's lives. 'And there are pretty stringent restrictions on what can be shown and what can't.' Charles agreed, saying: 'You know, their children are eventually going to be on the royal treadmill. 'But they are very cautious with the times that the children have access to the public, or the public have access to them.' How Princess Kate cleverly manages George, Charlotte and Louis' image – but manages to retain their privacy KATE Middleton and Prince William are raising three of the most famous children in the UK - but strongly prioritise protecting their privacy as much as possible. According to royal experts, the Prince and Princess of Wales are keen to get the balance between shielding their kids and also letting the public get to know their future king. Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous: "Prince William always vowed to protect his wife and children from the problems of being a royal and in the spotlight as much as possible, and he promised Kate's parents he would do everything in his power. 'Both William and Kate are determined that their three children will have as normal a childhood as possible to give them a good start in life.' Instead of hiring a formal photographer to capture intimate family moments, the duchess prefers to snap them herself. Phil said: 'Kate takes her own pictures of them on birthdays and special occasions so that she can control their image, but also make sure they are happy to be photographed.' Phil explained that the family spends a lot of time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk where they can disappear from the public gaze. He said: 'The paparazzi pretty much leave them alone and they can go off in woods and on beaches without being disturbed. 'Kate's mum Carole is there a lot of the time and is very close to them, particularly George. 'They go to normal nurseries and mix with normal kids at school in London.'

How tensions between Andy Caroll and ex Billi are set to EXPLODE as he flaunts sexy new girl while she looks after kids
THEY look like the perfect A-list couple, flaunting their chiselled abs and lithe tanned limbs in a Instagram holiday photo album even the Kardashians would be envious of. But behind the scenes of Andy Carrol and 7 Lou Teasdale and Andy Carrol have been flaunting their new love in a series of Insta-perfect holidays Credit: Instagram 7 They've enjoyed trips to Mallorca, the south of France and Ibiza since getting together Credit: Instagram 7 Billi has been left bringing up their five children Credit: Instagram 7 Last week Billi shared a snap of her kids and called them 'my world' And while former Towie star Billi has kept a dignified silence, sources say those around her are astounded by his brutal antics, Left home with the kids One told us: 'Everyone thinks Andy is acting like an utter p***k and is making himself look like a total fool posting so many sexy shots with Lou - who he moved on with alarmingly quickly after separating from the mother of his kids. 'While he is off galavanting around the party island, posting all these snaps that scream 'we are having hot sex!', Billi is at home looking after not only their children, but his two kids from a previous relationship with ex-fiancee Faye Johnstone. 'It's a silent gut-punch to Billie, who is an angel and adores the kids - looking after them and protecting them from this circus is her number one priority. 7 Billi and Andy split just 11 months ago Credit: Instagram 7 Sources close to Billi say Andy is acting like an 'utter p***k' Credit: Andrew Styczynski "To her it's second nature to be there for them and to be their caregiver." Indeed, just last week Billi posted a sweet snap of all five kids on social media, bearing the caption: "You kids are my world. You are everything I will ever need. I adore you." But while Billi is focusing on raising her brood, her pals are annoyed that she's the one holding the fort at home alone. The insider continued: 'For us, the people who know Billi well, it's galling to see her carrying the load while Andy is gallivanting by the beach with Lou. 'This isn't a one-off either." Just weeks after Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale can't keep their hands off each other on first holiday as they confirm romance And since then Andy and Billi split In a statement to The Sun at the time, Andy said: "Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings. "It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children." Everyone thinks Andy is acting like an utter p***k and is making himself look like a total fool posting so many sexy shots with Lou Insider Our source adds: 'We were all shocked when he went public with Lou in October just three months after he announced his split with Billi amid fears he was cheating. 'We think it'd be interesting to hear what Lou makes of it all, given she's a mum too and would know that Billi is picking up the load for Andy." In contrast to Andy's jet set life, Billi spends her days running a home with five children - on the school run, cooking and doing the washing. The source continues: 'The whole situation feels very disrespectful - but Billi has made it clear she won't be drawn into any of Andy's nonsense. 'She is holding her head high and just minding her own business - being a strong female role model for all the kids is her MO. 'For Billi, being a good mum to the kids they shared for many years is all that matters. Billi has no interest in dating right now. Billi's focus is on being a good mum to the kids and building a stable life for them all Insider "While the kids are with Billi, Andy sees them all as much as he can. 'Billi's mates have been rallying around her and it's the same with her family. It's not a 'woe is me' situation. She's had a really hard time but she doesn't want anyone feeling sorry for her, she is just getting on with it. 'But Andy should be ashamed of himself for how he has been acting. It's like watching a teenage kid, not a grown man with responsibilities." Pricey divorce Those close to Billi said her legal team is currently He's a footballer worth millions - Liverpool negotiated a transfer fee of £35 million while West Ham splashed out £15 million - so there's a huge amount of money at stake in this legal battle. They added: 'Naturally there has been a lot of back and forth but Billi is hoping that a line can be drawn under it all soon. "She has no interest in dating right now. Billi's focus is on being a good mum to the kids and building a stable life for them all." 7 Andy and Lou have been on a 'never-ending holiday' since getting together Credit: Instagram
