Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert has explained how a crackdown is coming to Disney Plus. The MSE founder and ITV star, who has a BBC podcast, spoke out on the MSE website via his consumer champion and personal finance team.

MSE said: "If you share your Disney+ account with friends or family who don't live with you, you'll now need to pay up to £4.99 a month extra to do so, as the streaming service has clamped down on password sharing.

"Got Disney+? You'll now have to pay to £4.99 a month to share it with someone outside your household." MSE said: "Disney+ will now check where you're accessing it from. You'll need to buy a separate 'Extra Member' profile to share your account with someone outside of your household.

"You WON'T be charged automatically if you're currently sharing your account. You can only buy ONE Extra Member add-on per account." MSE explained if you're using the Disney+ account of someone you don't live with, you'll need to set up your own account to keep watching.

Over the past year, Disney has been quietly testing the password-sharing rule but did not enforce it. Now, however, it is official, and subscribers have been warned. “Your Disney+ subscription is meant to be used within your household, which is a collection of devices associated with your primary personal residence that are used by the individuals who reside there,” Disney told customers.

Disney went on to note that friends and family outside the household will need to get their own subscriptions. "Your Disney+ subscription is meant to be used within your Household, which is a collection of devices associated with your primary personal residence that are used by the individuals who reside there," Disney said this week in a blog post.

"But what about people outside of your Household? They will need to sign up and pay for their own subscription or be added as an Extra Member to your account for an additional monthly fee to continue enjoying Disney+," the company added.
