Since launching in Australia in November 2019, streaming TV service Disney Plus has amassed a healthy catalogue of TV shows, movies, documentaries, specials and reality TV.
Here's what you need to know about trialling the service.
Can I get Disney Plus for free?
No, Disney Plus used to offer a 7-day free trial but retired it in Australia on 19 June 2020. While there has been speculation that the trial might be back at a future date, we're yet to see this happen anywhere except for some new countries where Disney Plus is debuting.
The only way to stream Disney content now is to sign up for a monthly or annual subscription. The prices are $13.99 a month and $139.99 a year.
What we have seen though is other special promotions, mainly around September, but also with other brand partnerships like Telstra or Foxtel.
Deal
Get 12 months for the price of 10 when you sign up to Disney+
Savings are calculated based on the annual price compared to the monthly subscription price.
Sign up to Disney+ to stream thousands of movies and shows
Watch new and classic TV and movies from Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel, National Geographic, 21st Century Fox, Hulu, ESPN and more from 1 streaming service.
The library features 903 TV shows and 2,040 movies. The majority of titles on Disney Plus are classic content, so there is a good chance you have seen a lot of it. Whether it's Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic or Disney itself, it's a catalogue of some of the biggest blockbusters of all time.
Many of the titles are worth a rewatch, especially if you have children living under your roof. There are perennial kids classics such as Frozen and Moana alongside recent additions.
For more adult-focused content, there is the Star channel. It includes the likes of Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, American Horror Story and other titles.Disney Plus is streaming original, exclusive content you won't find anywhere else too. Original Star Wars TV series Ahsoka, Marvel's She-Hulk: Attorney at Law as well as The Bear and The Kardashians lead the exclusive list. Recent original movies on the service include Rye Laneand Boston Strangler.
How to sign up for Disney Plus
Signing up for a Disney Plus subscription is a simple process:
2. Enter your email address and click the big blue Continue button.
3. This takes you to a page where you can opt to receive emails and offers from Disney as well as agree to all the terms and conditions of Disney Plus. Once you've read through these, click "Agree & Continue".
4. You will be asked to choose a password. Don't forget to enter a strong password. You'll need a minimum of 6 characters (case-sensitive), with at least 1 number or special character. Once chosen, click the blue Continue button.
5. Now choose a plan. To be safe, choose $13.99 a month so you have an entire month to explore the library and figure out if it's a solid choice. You can opt for the annual plan after your first month.
6. Mark the date when the first month ends in your calendar. That way, you will remember to cancel before being billed for another month if you're not planning to extend your subscription.
7. You will need to enter your credit card details. Once done, click "Agree and Subscribe". You're now subscribed to Disney Plus.
8. You can also pay via PayPal instead. To complete signing up to Disney Plus with PayPal, click the "Pay with PayPal" button and log in to PayPal.
9. Enjoy as much content as you can in your first month to make the most of your money.
Disney Plus may no longer offer a free trial, but there are usually promotions available that can either help you save or get you additional perks when signing up for a subscription. For example there's Disney Plus Day which usually happens once a year (but not in 2023), where the cost of 1 month of the service is reduced for a limited time. Or in September 2023, there was an offer where you could get 2 months of Disney Plus for free.
Until 31 December 2023, there is a 14-day free trial when you sign up to the OnePass and Disney Plus bundle. OnePass is a service that gets you free delivery on items from big name retailers such as Kmart and Target.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.

Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.

Can you get Disney plus and foxtell sports only
Hi Aaron,
Yes you can. You can get just the Foxtel sports content via Kayo Sports. You can find more info here – https://www.finder.com.au/streaming-sports/kayo-sports
So you’d get Kayo Sports and Disney+ as separate apps.
Cheers
Chris
