For over a century, Disney has been at the forefront of animated entertainment, delivering timeless classics that have captivated audiences across generations. Since November 2019, fans can enjoy all of Disney's vast collection of films and projects through a Disney+ subscription, accessible on any device of their choice.
Unlike many streaming services that offer a trial period, **Disney+ does not currently provide a free trial for new subscribers**. This policy change was implemented in 2020, making Disney+ one of the first major streaming platforms to eliminate free trials. The Disney+ help center now clearly states that no free trials are available.
AnswerSee ResultsCan You Get Disney+ for Free in Other Ways?Although Disney+ itself does not offer a free trial, there are alternative ways to access the service without immediate cost. Verizon customers with Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plans can enjoy a free Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ bundle as part of their myPlan perk for six months. After this period, the subscription costs $10 per month. This is an excellent opportunity for Verizon subscribers to leverage their existing services and enjoy a comprehensive streaming package similar to what Hulu offers.
Another workaround is to sign up for a free trial of Hulu + Live TV, which includes Disney+ access. This trial lasts for three days, making it a convenient option for a quick weekend test of the service.
