Yes, there is a way to disable Plus! temporarily:

Go to your Messenger folder (C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger, might be different depending on your version) and find msimg32.dll, rename it to something else, like msimg32.dll2.
msimg32.dll is a file added by Messenger Plus!, it takes care of loading Plus! whenever Live Messenger starts, renaming or deleting it will stop Plus! from loading.

Shut down WLM completly
If you have WLM 8.5, go to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger
For 8.1:
C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger
Find the file msimg32.dll
rename the file extension to something to something other than .dll
Restart WLM

Or, provided that you have Messenger Plus! Live version 4.50+, enter the properties of Windows Live Messenger's shortcut, from which you launch Messenger (right click>Properties), add /PlusEnabled=0 at the end of the path written in the Target field in the properties window. Example:
code:Note the space before /Plus...
"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /PlusEnabled=0
