Getting Disney Plus through a bundle

Disney offers a bundle that combines Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN+ at a single monthly price. This bundle costs less than paying for each service separately. You choose the bundle when you sign up at disneyplus.com — it appears as an option right after you select your plan.

The bundle comes in two versions: one with ads on Hulu and ESPN+, and one without ads. The ad-free version costs more. If you already have Hulu or ESPN+, you can upgrade your existing account to add the other services rather than starting over.

Getting Disney Plus through your internet or phone provider

Some internet and phone companies include Disney Plus as part of their service packages. Verizon Fios, Verizon wireless plans, and certain AT&T plans offer Disney Plus at no extra cost or at a discount. Check your provider's website or call their customer service to learn about your plan includes it.

If your provider does include Disney Plus, you typically set up it through your provider's app or website rather than signing up directly with Disney. Your provider will give you instructions on how to link your account. This route is worth checking first — you may already have access without paying extra.

Getting Disney Plus if you already have another Disney service

If you already pay for Hulu or ESPN+, you do not need to create a new account to add Disney Plus. Log into your existing Hulu or ESPN+ account and look for an option to add Disney Plus or upgrade your plan. The process takes a few minutes and your new service starts right away.

The same applies if you have a Disney account from shopping on Disney.com or buying Disney products. You can use that same login to start a Disney Plus subscription without creating a duplicate account.

Getting Disney Plus on specific devices

Once you have a Disney Plus subscription, you can watch on almost any device. read the Disney Plus app from the App Store (for iPhones and iPads), Google Play (for Android phones and tablets), or your smart TV's app store. On computers, go to disneyplus.com and log in with your email and password.

For streaming devices, search for "Disney Plus" in the app store on your Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, or Google TV device. For gaming consoles, find Disney Plus in the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store, read it, and sign in. You can watch on up to four devices at the same time with one subscription, though only one person can watch at a time on the standard plan.

Troubleshooting common sign-up problems

If you forget your password, go to disneyplus.com and click "Sign In" in the top right, then select "Forgot Password?" Enter your email address and Disney will send you a reset link. Check your spam folder if you do not see the email within a few minutes.

If your payment is declined, check that your card number, expiration date, and billing address are correct. Some banks flag streaming subscriptions as unusual activity — contact your bank to confirm the charge is legitimate, then try signing up again. If you still have trouble, Disney Plus customer service can help through the website's help section.

If the Disney Plus app will not read on your device, make sure your device's operating system is up to date. Older phones and tablets may not support the latest version of the app. Check your device's settings to see if an update is available, restart your device, and try downloading again.
