Is it possible to move a website to a different "Web Hosting Plan"

I've got several websites in azure, and they are now grouped into "Web Hosting Plans". I have two plans total. What I'd like to do is move the sites from one plan into the other. Is there a way to do this without removing the sites and recreating them?

Here are the Azure Portal steps on March 2015.

  1. App Services

  3. Settings
  4. Change App Service plan
