It's been a few years now since Disney Plus has offered a free trial, so we have to dash your dreams of a happy ending when it comes to trying it out for free. The Disney Plus free trial had its happily ever after, riding off into the sunset, with the House of Mouse withdrawing the deal promptly six months after the service's initial launch in the US, with the same fate falling to the trial period in the UK, Canada, and Australia, too. To get a taste of Walt Disney Studios' wealth of content, you'll need to pay for the privilege.
While it may make sense that Disney Plus brings back the free trial so potential users can get a taste of what the service has to offer, at this point, it doesn't appear that it will happen anytime soon (if at all). For now, Disney is placing all its eggs in the basket of its ad-supported plan coaxing in more subscribers, and raking in that ad revenue now the plan has arrived on both sides of the Atlantic. We explain below the limited ways you can still get a Disney Plus free trial, namely through new phone contracts and gift cards.
Unfortunately, there isn't a Disney Plus free trial – and there hasn't been for some time.
Disney Plus free trials previously allowed users in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia to use the service in full for seven days before spending anything. However, this ended in June 2020 – barely six months after the initial launch.
Even as Disney Plus has rolled out elsewhere around the world, new territories where the platform has launched haven't received the same kind of offer. Japan, was the last location where a Disney Plus free trial was available, entitling customers to a whole 31 days. This came to an end in late 2021.
The Disney Plus price for a monthly subscription is a reasonably lean $7.99 (with ads) or $10.99 (without ads).
Internationally, it costs from £4.99/CA$7.99/AUS$13.99, but if you're prepared to commit with a hefty upfront payment of $139.99/£79.90/CA$119.99/AUS$139.99 a year, you can save 16% annually. The annual plan is not available on the cheaper, ad-supported plans.
Want even more for your money? US customers can get one of the best streaming deals from its choice of bundles, including Disney Plus, ESPN Plus and Hulu for just $14.99 a month or $19.99 a month if you choose to have Hulu without ads.
This, of course, gives you access to even more content, including more content catered to adults on Hulu, while ESPN Plus more than covers sporting fans with a bunch of great entertainment.
