Since launching in November 2019, Disney+ has quickly become one of the most popular streaming services, amassing over 150 million subscribers worldwide. With hit shows like The Mandalorian and WandaVision, plus access to Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and more, it‘s easy to see the appeal. But does the Magic Kingdom offer any free trials or accounts? Let‘s dive in.
The Current State of Disney+ Free Trials
When Disney+ first debuted, they offered an enticing 7-day free trial to attract new users. However, as of June 2020, Disney discontinued all free trials for new subscribers.
According to a spokesperson, Disney feels the $7.99 per month cost (or $79.99 annually) is compelling enough without needing a free trial as incentive. This price point makes Disney+ cheaper than competitors like Netflix, which starts at $9.99 per month.
While Disney has not ruled out potentially bringing back free trials in certain markets, like how Netflix offers them in Vietnam, there are currently no free trial options for Disney+ in 2022.
Legit Ways to Get Disney+ for Free
While you can no longer take advantage of a standard free trial, there are still some legitimate ways to enjoy Disney+ without paying. Here are a few legal methods:
Earn Rewards with Survey Sites
One of the easiest ways to get free Disney+ is by taking online surveys with websites like Survey Junkie and LifePoints.
These platforms allow you to share your opinions via online questionnaires and earn points. You can then redeem those points for free subscription codes once you hit certain thresholds. Survey Junkie has over 4 stars across 40,000+ Trustpilot reviews, making it one of the highest rated.
Signing up is free and you can start taking surveys right away. Just be sure to provide accurate demographic info in your user profile, as this helps match you to the most relevant surveys.
Check Mobile or Broadband Deals
Certain mobile carrier and broadband internet plans include free Disney+ subscriptions as a promotional perk.
For example, Verizon offers 6 months of Disney+ with select Unlimited plans, like Play More Unlimited. Sky Broadband in the UK also previously offered 12 months of Disney+ with certain packages (this deal is now discontinued).
Before signing any contract, be sure to look into what streaming freebies may be included. You may be able to score Disney+ at no extra cost.
Share an Account with Family or Friends
One of the most common ways people access Disney+ for free is by using someone else‘s login credentials. As long as you stay under the 4 device limit, sharing with 1-2 friends or family shouldn‘t be an issue.
Just be mindful that the primary account holder is responsible for any charges. And excessive simultaneous streaming on one subscription may lead Disney to crack down.
Beware "Free" Disney+ Accounts Lists
You may come across sites promising lists of free Disney+ account logins. While some of these may work temporarily, they often stop working quickly as passwords change. Most free accounts shared online are also on shady forums and risky to use.
Instead of risking your personal info with shared accounts from sketchy sources, opt for the legitimate free options above. Or if you can afford it, sign up for your own Disney+ subscription to get the full experience.
The Magic Is Worth the Price
While getting Disney Plus for free is possible with some effort, a paid subscription unlocks the full library ad-free in up to 4K quality. At just $7.99 per month, Disney+ is an affordable way to enjoy thousands of movies, shows, documentaries and more.
With exciting originals like The Book of Boba Fett launching regularly and the entire Disney vault at your fingertips, the small monthly fee provides huge magical value.
There are ways to cut costs like choosing the annual plan or bundle deals. But subscribing directly supports Disney‘s ability to develop amazing new content. For many fans, paying to be part of the magic is more than worthwhile.
