Update: November 25, 2019: We have updated this post with a new way to get Disney Plus for free, via the purchase of a new Chromebook like the Pixelbook Go.

Disney Plus is, without a doubt, the biggest launch in the history of the premium streaming service industry. You can now stream not only tons of classic TV shows and movies from the vast Disney library but several original shows and films as well. The price of Disney Plus is also pretty reasonable. It costs $6.99 a month, or $69.99 for an annual subscription. But is there any way to get Disney Plus for free?

Yes! Here are at least four ways to get Disney Plus for free. If we discover any other ways to get the service for free, we will add it to this article.

1. How to get Disney Plus for free: Seven-day trial

This is the simplest way of checking out Disney Plus for free. Just sign up for the service, either with the monthly or annual plan, and you have seven days to try it out for free. Here’s how to sign up for Disney Plus:

Go to the Disney Plus website on your browser. You will see two subscription choices: one is for $6.99 a month, the other is for $69.99 for an annual subscription. Both offer users a seven-day free trial. Even if you sign up now, November 12, your credit or debit card won’t be charged until November 19.
You will then asked to type in the email address you want to use for your Disney Plus account. You’ll have to agree to the company’s Privacy Policy and Subscriber Agreement. Then, you can tap on the “Agree & Continue” box for the next phase.
Next, create a personal password for your account. Once you have typed that in, tap on “Continue.”
Now it’s time to put in your payment information. You can either put in your credit/debit card info, or you can use a PayPal account. Once you have filled out the payment info, tap on the “Agree & Continue” box.
That’s it!

If you decide to dump Disney Plus at any point, just cancel your subscription before the seven-day free trial ends. You should not be charged for the seven days that you use it.

New customers for Verizon’s consumer Fios internet service can also get the free year of Disney Plus. That’s also extended to new and current customers of Verizon’s 5G Home internet service. The bad news? Current Fios internet users are not eligible for the free Disney Plus year.

If you’ve already signed up for Disney Plus and happen to be a Verizon unlimited customer, you can still get that free year. You can enroll for the free offer through Verizon, but it won’t automatically replace your previously purchased subscription. Verizon should send you an email with information about how to manage your pre-purchased Disney Plus subscription.
