For over a century, Disney has been at the forefront of animated entertainment, delivering timeless classics that continue to enchant generations. Since November 2019, fans can enjoy these beloved films and projects through a Disney+ subscription, accessible on any device of their choice.
Like many streaming platforms, Disney+ typically does not offer a free trial for new subscribers. This policy was changed back in 2020, making Disney+ one of the first major streaming services to eliminate free trials. The Disney+ help center now explicitly states that no free trials are available.

Can You Get Disney+ for Free in Other Ways?
While Disney+ does not offer a direct free trial, Verizon provides an attractive alternative for its customers. Those with Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate service can enjoy a free Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ bundle as a myPlan perk for six months. After this period, the subscription costs $10 monthly. This is an excellent opportunity for Verizon users to access multiple streaming services bundled together, similar to what Hulu offers.
Another workaround is to sign up for a free trial of Hulu + Live TV, which includes Disney+ access. This trial lasts only three days but can be a useful option if you want to test the service over a weekend.
