If you're hoping to secure a Disney Plus free trial to blaze through the full Andor season 2 or to watch the new Captain America movie now that it's on the streaming service, I've got bad news. Buckle up.

Unfortunately for us, the Disney Plus free trial doesn't exist anymore. Actually, it's been gone for quite a while; it was shut down years ago, and seeing as the current subscriber count is somewhere north of 150 million, I don't see the House of Mouse reinstating it. Which sucks, obviously - there are countless streaming services jockeying for our dollar these days.

However, all is not lost. It's true that you can't beat the low, low price of 'free,' but there are some decent offers in lieu of the Disney Plus free trial being axed (RIP, sweet prince). For instance, the cheapest option at the moment would be the Basic tier with ads for $9.99 per month in the US or £4.99 per month in the UK. Similarly, you can nab Disney, Hulu, and Max together for $16.99 per month. That basically gets you one of the highly-sought-after streaming services for free. I've been reporting on Disney Plus since before it started, and have never found a better offer (short of sales over Black Friday, of course).

I'll keep an eye out in the coming weeks, of course, but I wouldn't put your hopes on a Disney Plus free trial renaissance. I'd recommend opting for one of the options above instead.

Today's best Disney Plus deals

Cheapest

1. Basic Tier

If you're hoping to save as much as possible, this is the cheapest available offer on Disney Plus right now. Just bear in mind that it comes with ads, and you'll pay more if you want to go without them.

Best bundle

2. Max bundle

For the best variety of content, I'd have to recommend this bundle that brings together Disney Plus' family friendly fare, Hulu's drama, and the wealth of mature content on Max. (Sadly, the UK doesn't have access to this offer - it's a USA exclusive.)

For sports fans

3. ESPN bundle

Want some sports alongside your Disney Plus content and Hulu dramas? This bundle throws in ESPN Plus to round out the trio, and it effectively gets you one of the above for free. Just don't try to find it in the UK; this is a USA exclusive.

Disney Plus pricing

Cheesed off that the Disney Plus free trial has gone away? Don't worry, it's not a total disaster. Disney Plus bundles are relatively affordable, and some offers get you multiple streaming services for a fraction of the normal price. I've listed those below.

Just be aware that these might change in the future. While the US, UK, Canada, and Australia got a Disney Plus sign-up price increase recently, it's possible that'll we see another hike in the next couple of years.

Disney Plus free trial: FAQs

Is there a 7-day free trail for Disney Plus?

Sadly, there isn't a 7-day Disney Plus free trial anymore. Or any kind of free trial, actually; it was removed a few years ago across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Because the streaming service has around 150 million subscribers these days, Disney's got no incentive to change its mind either.

As such, the cheapest method of signing up is a Basic membership with ads for $9.99 per month in the US or £4.99p/m in the UK. These subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, and there's no limit on what you can access - it's not like you'll be barred from certain content because you've chosen a cheaper membership.

Will the Disney Plus free trial come back?

If you're curious about if and when a Disney Plus free trial will return, you're not alone. I'm wondering the same thing, but it isn't looking good. Disney Plus has amassed more than a hundred million subscribers since launching in November 2019, and that shows how popular it's become without a free test period. As such, there's no incentive for Disney to reverse its removal if you ask me.

Even though I can see the Disney Plus free trial getting an encore during promotional pushes, the odds still aren't great. Disney seems happy to rely on a stream of original content or price cuts that'll reel in audiences instead, and there's more than enough on the horizon to pique interest for even the most belligerent viewer. (We've actually rounded up the 30 best movies on Disney Plus to watch right now to help make that decision easier.)

Instead of a Disney Plus trial, the best we can hope for is a discount like the one we got during Disney Plus Day last year. This temporarily reduced the price to $1.99 for a single month if you were a new or returning subscriber.

Which Disney Plus deal should I choose?

Personally, the Disney Plus membership I recommend depends on your circumstances. Are you in it for the long haul and looking forward to shows coming later in 2025? Grab the annual pass. It's better value than a monthly deal and gets you 12 months for the price of 10. That's what I have.

If you're just wanting to try it out, blitz a few shows, and leave, go for the basic ad tier. This is your cheapest option, and there's nothing better short of the annual Black Friday or Disney Plus Day discounts.

For those with a household of various tastes, on the other hand, consider the bundle with Hulu and ESPN Plus / Max. These provide something for everyone, and essentially get one of the above for free.

Is Disney Plus free with Hulu?

Sorry folks, Disney Plus is not free with Hulu. Well, unless you get lucky and the streaming service brings back that excellent offer from last Black Friday...

However, you can still save a bunch of money on the two streaming services by bundling them together. The cheapest option is Disney Plus and Hulu Duo Basic (with ads.
