Disney has already unveileda massive list of films and TV showsthat are available to watch on Disney+ on launch day—which includes classic Disney movies, recent Marvel movies, and even a ton of Disney Channel Original Movies—but many are still wondering how, exactly, they’ll be able to watch this content.
Indeed, how to watch Disney Plus is a valid question, so we’ve put together a list of everything you need to know about injecting that sweet, sweet, Disney+ content directly into your eyeballs, from pricing to supported devices to when Disney+ original shows will be available to view.
How to Get Disney Plus, and How Much It Costs
With either subscription you get a 7-day free trial, and you won’t be charged until that free trial ends. So you do have the opportunity to test out Disney Plus before committing to your purchase.
There is also a bundle option, although that’s not available to purchase until November 12th. The bundle is $12.99 a month for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. A yearly price for the bundle has not yet been made available, but be aware that the version of Hulu that comes with this bundle is Hulu with ads. So if you already pay for ad-free Hulu and want this bundle, you’ll have to sit through some ads on Hulu to get all three streaming services at this price.
As for other countries, Disney+ will launch in Australia and New Zealand on November 19th and in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain on June 06, 2025.
