How to get Disney+ for free (or almost free) in 2025

by #AI [2.0] March 20, 2025 · Automatic / Editor's Picks [News]

Even though Disney+ isn’t currently offering any free trials, there are still a few ways to get Disney+ for free—or essentially free, anyway.
Both Verizon and Spectrum have deals that include free Disney+, provided you’re subscribed to a supported service plan. Another option is to investigate Disney’s streaming bundles; pick the right one, and you’ll get Disney+ for next to nothing.
There’s also a bonus way to get Disney+ for practically free, but it’s set to expire in a matter of days; by the end of the March, it’ll be gone. Jump to the bottom of this story for the limited-time deal.
Get Disney+ for free from Spectrum
One way to get Disney+ without paying extra is through Spectrum, assuming that Spectrum is your cable carrier. If you’re subscribed to the right Spectrum plan, the cable operator will serve up the ad-supported Disney+ Basic–that’s the ad-supported tier–as a free perk.
To get Disney+ for free from Spectrum, you’ll need to be signed up for a supported Spectrum TV package. Among the supported plans are Spectrum TV Silver, TV Gold, TV Select, TV Select Signature, or TV Select Plus.
One thing to note about Spectrum’s Disney+ offer is that it won’t replace an existing account, so if you already get Disney+, the Spectrum offer will be for an additional Disney+ account. Also, it is possible to upgrade to no-ads Disney+ Premium via the Spectrum offer, but the carrier will charge you extra for that privilege.
Get Disney+ for free from Verizon
While it’s possible to get Disney+ completely free from Verizon, there’s a catch: You’ll need to be currently subscribed to a Verizon plan that’s no longer available for new users. Luckily, Verizon subscribers on a current plan can still get Disney+ for a substation discount.
First, let’s cover the Disney+ offer for legacy Verizon plans. Verizon will give you six months of Disney+ Premium (no ads) for free, provided you’re subscribed to one of the following plans:
5G Do More, 5G Start, Welcome Unlimited, One Unlimited for iPhone, Get More Unlimited, Do More Unlimited, or Play More Unlimited (if you signed up for the plan before August 20, 2020)
Verizon Plan Unlimited, Go Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited, Above Unlimited
If you are (still) enrolled in one of those plans, just head to the “Services and perks” screen on the Verizon website or app to claim your Disney+ offer (which expires May 31, 2025).
Are you in instead subscribed to one of Verizon’s newer “MyPlan” tiers? If so, there’s a Disney+ deal for you—not free, mind you, but still a pretty good deal.
If you’re signed up for Unlimited Ultimate, Unlimited Plus, or Unlimited Welcome, you can choose a Disney Bundle that includes Disney+ Premium, Hulu (With Ads), and ESPN+ (With Ads) as a perk for $10 per month.
That’s an $11.99/month savings compared to the regular price for the bundle, which means you’re getting Disney+ Premium (which normally costs $15.99 on its own) for just $6 extra a month included with your Hulu and ESPN+ with-ads subscriptions.
Get Disney+ for free (or practically free) in a Disney Bundle
Rather than going through Verizon, you can go directly to the source to pick a Disney Bundle, and some of the deals are pretty sweet.
For example, the Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic (that’s the official name) costs just $10.99 a month for the ad-supported versions of Disney+ and Hulu. As Hulu with ads already costs $9.99 by itself, you’re getting Disney+ with ads for just $1 a month extra.
Bonus: Get Disney+ for free through this special offer
Finally, there’s a killer deal for Disney+ going on right now, but you don’t have long to grab it.
Until March 30, 2025, you can snag the Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic for just $2.99 a month for the next four months, a whopping 72 percent discount compared to the regular $10.99/month price.
After the four months are up, your subscription will return to that standard $11.00-a-month price, so if you don’t want to pay extra, be sure to cancel before your four months run out.
