For over a century, Disney has been at the forefront of animated entertainment, delivering timeless classics that continue to captivate audiences across generations. Since November 2019, all these beloved films and projects are accessible via a Disney+ subscription, allowing users to stream them on any device of their choice.
Unlike many other streaming platforms that typically offer free trials, Disney+ does not currently provide such an option for new subscribers. In fact, the company was among the first to eliminate free trials entirely back in 2020. The Disney+ help center now confirms that no free trials are available.
AnswerSee ResultsAlternative Ways to Access Disney+ for Free
While Disney+ itself doesn’t offer a free trial, Verizon Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Ultimate customers can enjoy a free Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ bundle for six months. After this period, subscribers will need to pay $10 per month to continue accessing the service. This is an excellent opportunity for Verizon users looking to maximize their existing plans.
Another workaround is leveraging a free trial of Hulu + Live TV, which includes Disney+ access for three days. Although brief, this can be useful for testing the platform over a weekend.
