Choosing what to watch — and where to stream it — has never been tougher. Along with Max, Hulu, and Netflix, Disney+ has become another major streaming service with a slew of exclusive new releases to stream, from Star Wars universe entries like The Acolyte and The Mandalorian to Marvel movies to Pixar releases like Turning Red.
But if you’re trying to choose a new plan, keeping tabs on your options and whether they come with free trials is no simple feat, Disney+ included.
While it normally starts at just under $8 for a subscription plan, we found a promotion that can get you Disney+ for free. From bundle deals to what you can stream on the service, here’s everything you need to know about watching Disney+ for free.
Does Disney+ Have a Free Trial?
Disney+ offered a free trial for new subscribers when it first launched. However, unlike Hulu and Amazon Prime, which still offer 30-day free trials, Disney+ does not currently have a free trial promotion.
But there is some good news: if you are a Verizon wireless customer, you can get a free subscription to Disney+ for six months by signing up for one of their Unlimited plans. These wireless plans let you select the Disney Bundle (which also includes Hulu and ESPN+) as one of your perks, and you won’t have to pay it for six months.
How Much Does Disney+ Cost?
You can choose between two standard subscription plans with Disney+. If you only want Disney+ and Disney+ alone, you can subscribe for just $7.99 a month for the ad-supported plan. The ad-free Disney+ plan will cost $13.99 a month.
If you want to keep the service for more than a month, though, we recommend going with an annual ad-free Disney+ subscription for $139.99 (as going month-to-month with the ad-free plan will cost you more over a year at $167.88).
But if you want access to even more of the best new movies and shows, along with live sports, your best option is the Disney Bundle, which starts at $9.99.
The Disney Bundle has four tiers, ranging from the ad-supported Disney Bundle Duo which includes Disney+ and Hulu (on-demand) to the ad-free Disney Bundle Trio Premium which adds ESPN+. The Trio Premium plan costs $24.99 a month — check out all the plans here.

How Many People Can Watch Disney+ at Once?
A Disney+ subscription is one of the best streaming options for families or for sharing with multiple users in different locations. With the plan, four people in your household can watch Disney+ at once, so you can stream The Simpsons on your living room TV while your kids watch Toy Story 4 on other screens throughout the house.
To compare, if you already have Netflix, its Basic plan lets you watch shows on one device and costs $8.99 each month. The service’s Premium package, $17.99, meanwhile, gives you the option to watch Netflix on up to four screens at the same time.
With Hulu’s $5.99 starting subscription, you can watch shows on two devices at once.
What Can You Watch on Disney+?
Similar to Hulu and Netflix, Disney+ is a streamable treasure chest, filled with family-friendly gems and critically acclaimed miniseries alike to watch, no matter which of its plans or bundle deals you choose.
With any Disney+ subscription, you can watch Disney+ Originals like The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, series like High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, and National Geographic’s The World According to Jeff Goldblum, along with movies like Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Raya and the Last Dragon, Mulan, Frozen 2 and more. When you pay for Premier Access through Disney+, you can stream Cruella now on the streaming platform as well.
