Disney Plus is an ad-free, on-demand subscription-based streaming service that is home to all of your favorite Disney classics—from old-school Mickey cartoons to new and exciting Marvel movies and much, much more.

Disney Plus Plans and Bundles
Disney Plus
This is the standard Disney Plus subscription that gives you access to all Disney Plus has to offer including movies, TV shows, shorts, documentaries, and exclusive Disney Plus content. Unfortunately, they no longer offer a 7-day free trial, but all content is ad-free.
The Disney Bundle
The Disney Bundle brings you all of the content Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN+ have to offer. Once you create your Disney+ account, you’ll use that same login for ESPN+ and will receive an activation email for your Hulu login. If you’re already a subscriber to one of these streaming services, Disney Plus can adjust the amounts accordingly. Hulu is home to an extensive content library with shows like The Handmaids Tale, Bob’s Burgers, and most reality shows. ESPN+ will give you access to tons of sports content and even live events and exclusive originals. ESPN+ and Disney Plus are always ad-free, and Hulu’s ads depend on your level of subscription. Hulu is offered ad-free as part of the bundle for $19.99/mo, and with ads is $13.99/mo.
Premier Access
Premier Access allows existing Disney Plus subscribers to watch Disney’s newest in-theater movies from the comfort of their homes! For $29.99 you can purchase Premier Access to a newly released movie. Once purchased, you’ll be able to watch the movie as many times as you’d like. However, this price is per movie. For example, Disney’s Cruella is $29.99 to watch and if you’d like to watch the new live-action Mulan, that is an additional $29.99. You must be a subscriber to Disney Plus or the Disney Bundle to take advantage of Premier Access.
Verizon Promotion
If you’re a customer of Verizon Wireless, you’re in luck. Customers with Unlimited plans can get their first year of Disney Plus for FREE!
How to Watch Disney Plus
The best part about Disney Plus? You can watch virtually anywhere! From your smartphone to your television and everything in between, there are dozens of devices that support Disney Plus.

You can stream all content at any one time on up to four devices, and content downloads can be stored on up to ten devices!
Perhaps one of the best features of Disney Plus is that you can watch with your family friends—near or far. GroupWatch allows subscribers to stream content simultaneously with up to 6 other subscribers. Anyone within GroupWatch can pause, rewind, or fast forward the content, and you can even react with emojis.

- Pixar
- Marvel
- Star Wars (LucasFilms)
- National Geographic
- The Muppets Studios

Can I cancel at any time?
Yes! And there is no cancellation fee. When you cancel your subscription, you will have until the end of your current billing cycle to continue watching content on Disney Plus.
Are there parental controls?
Yes. Although Disney is a family-friendly entertainment company, there is content on Disney Plus that you may not care for your children to watch. Disney Plus allows you to set up multiple profiles—up to seven per subscription. One of these profile options is a “Kid Profile” which only shows family-friendly content options. They offer some other added parental controls, including:
- Kid-proof exit: This makes exiting a Kid Profile harder with the addition of a question before exiting.
- Profile PIN: A four-digit PIN can be set to prevent children from accessing other profiles
- Profile creation restriction: This feature requires a password to be entered before creating a new profile.
Are Disney’s cable channels available for live streaming?
Unfortunately, no. While all Disney cable channel content is on Disney Plus (i.e. Disney Junior, Disney Channel, Disney XD), it’s not available to watch in real-time.
