With more than 500 films and thousands of TV episodes, Disney Plus is the ultimate destination for animated classics, Disney Channel favorites, and everything that defines the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Disney Plus is an incredible value, especially for families, and offers new content every month. To start enjoying the best movies and shows on Disney Plus, you must sign up for an account and decide which devices you’ll be using to watch. Don’t worry – the process is quick and easy, and we’ll walk you through it here.
How to get Disney+
First, head to the Disney+ website or download the Disney+ app on your smartphone, tablet, or smart TV device.
The minimum monthly charge is $8, which includes ads. For $14 a month, you can upgrade to Disney+ Premium, which removes ads. Opting for the annual package at $140 provides some savings. Payment options include PayPal and any standard credit or debit card.
The Disney Bundle with Hulu and ESPN+ is a great way to maximize your streaming enjoyment.
Disney also offers incentives to those who subscribe to both Hulu and ESPN+. There are various bundle plans currently available to new customers, including:
Disney+, Hulu, with ads: $10 per month
Disney+, Hulu, no ads: $20 per month
Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, with ads: $15 per month
Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, no ads: $25 per month
Legacy users can get Disney+ without ads and Hulu and ESPN+ with ads for $19 per month. This plan is no longer available to new customers.
If you choose one of the plans with Hulu, you can now access this content through the separate Hulu app or Disney+. For more information on the Disney bundles, read through the FAQ.
Additionally, if you’re interested in getting a Disney bundle that instead includes Hulu with Live TV, we have all the details for that, too.
The absolute best deal is available for Verizon customers. Verizon offers six months of Disney+ at no extra cost for anyone with an eligible Verizon Wireless unlimited plan. You can access this benefit whether you’re a new customer or you’ve had Verizon for a while already. Log in to your Verizon account via the company’s website or the MyVerizon app to claim it.
If you have an Android device, select Account > Manage apps and add-ons > See all (in the Entertainment section) > Learn more (in the Disney+ section) > Get it now.
