When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.  

Disney+ is the online streaming home of more than just Disney. Today, you'll find hit titles from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox), and National Geographic on the popular streaming platform. Disney+ has seen tremendous growth over the past few years, largely due to the addition of fan-favorite content -- such as Star Wars and Marvelmovies along with animated films like Frozen, Toy Story, Moana, and more.

With a constant influx of new movies and original programming, Disney+ shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, by the end of 2021, Disney+ had nearly 130 million subscribers -- gaining nearly 12 million in the quarter leading up to 2022 alone.

Disney+ is an impressive service on its own, but sports and entertainment fans can get so much more through the Disney Bundle. This includes all the content from Disney+, while also adding the libraries from ESPN+ and Hulu.

Best of all, Verizon Unlimited and Verizon Fios subscribers can easily sign up for the Disney+ streaming service and the Disney Bundle. Whether it's a limited trial of full access, here's everything you need to know about getting the Disney Bundle as a Verizon customer.

Disney+ with Verizon

Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu are all available as standalone packages. If you purchase all three individually, however, you're looking at $22/mo. in payments. Here's how it breaks down:

• Disney+ ($8/mo.)

• ESPN+ ($7/mo.)

• Hulu - Ad Supported ($7/mo.)

However, Verizon is offering a special promotion to new and current customers through 5/31/2022. With this offer, when you sign up for Disney+ through Verizon, you'll get access to all of the content available through Disney+ free for the first six months. After that, you'd pay $8/mo.

This offer is only applicable for customers on eligible plans, which include:

• 5G Do More

• 5G Start

• Do More Unlimited

• Verizon Plan Unlimited, Go Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited, Above Unlimited

•  Play More Unlimited (Purchased after 8/20/20)

• Get More Unlimited or Play More Unlimited (Purchased before 8/20/20)

Disney Bundle with Verizon

Six months of Disney+ is great, but Verizon has an even better offer. Available until 5/31/2022, members of select unlimited plans get access to the Disney Bundle for free as part of their monthly payment. This means you'll be able to access everything in the Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu (ad-supported) catalogs without dropping a dime.

Only a few unlimited plans are eligible for the impressive deal:

• 5G Get More

• 5G Play More

• Get More Unlimited or Play More Unlimited (Purchased after 8/20/20)

There are a few caveats to the deal (including a way to upgrade from the Disney+ promotion), so be sure to check out the full FAQ if your monthly plan isn't listed above.Disney Bundle Content

Disney Bundle with Verizon Features

The Disney Bundle from Verizon gives access to new episodes and movies the day they air on specific platforms, as well as original content put out by Disney, Hulu, and ESPN+.

Disney+ offers Premier Access to Disney+ subscribers for $30 per title. By subscribing, you can watch the latest film release at the same time they're released to theaters and released to the general platform. With Premier Access, you can watch these movies as many times as you want as long as you're an active Disney+ subscriber. Movies that have been released with Premier Access were Jungle Cruise, Black Widow, Cruella, Raya and the Last Dragon, and Mulan.

Disney+ also offers Group Watch, in which up to seven Disney+ subscribers in the same country can virtually watch the same stream together as a group.

How the Disney Bundle with Verizon Compares

Since the Disney Bundle is included for free as part of select unlimited plans, there aren't many offers that can compete with its value. However, anyone who isn't part of a Verizon plan has no shortage of platforms to choose from. This includes Sling TV ($35/mo.), fuboTV ($65/mo.), DirecTV Stream ($70/mo.), and Netflix ($10/mo.)

None of these services offer the Disney Bundle or any of the bundle's individual services of Disney+, ESPN+, or Hulu.

Disney+ with Verizon FAQs

Here are a few commonly asked questions regarding the Disney+ with Verizon deals.

Can existing Verizon customers get the bundles?

Yes, when you log into your Verizon account, click on "Apps & Add-Ons" from the My Verizon dashboard and choose "Disney". If you're the account owner, you can select either Disney+ or the Disney+ bundle if you have a qualifying account. If not, you can upgrade your plan to one that qualifies to receive your free benefits.

Can existing Disney+ (with or without Hulu and ESPN+) Subscribers Get the Disney Bundle?

If you already have Disney+ or the Disney Bundle through Disney, signing up for the Verizon subscription will automatically replace your existing account through Disney. 

If your subscription is through Hulu or a third party like Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku, subscribing through Verizon will not automatically replace that subscription. In this case, you will receive an email on how to manage your existing subscription. You will want to take care of that quickly, as you will continue to be charged for the subscription until you follow those instructions.

If your Disney+ Plus bundle is through Hulu, once you're enrolled with Verizon, your Hulu account will show a credit.

Can I Upgrade Hulu in the Disney Bundle to Hulu + Live TV?

No. When you subscribe to the Disney bundle through Verizon, Hulu + Live TV is not available.

What Devices Can I Stream the Disney Bundle on?

The Disney bundle is available on most popular streaming devices. This includes Roku, Amazon Fire TV and table, Samsung Smart TV, iPhone, IPad, Apple TV, Android phones and tablets, Android TV, Google Chromecast, Oculus Go, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Sony Playstation.

Our Final Take

If you're already a Verizon customer, it doesn't hurt to check if the Disney Bundle is included with your plan. At the very least, you'll probably find that six months of Disney+ is available for free. But if you qualify for the Disney Bundle that includes Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu (ad-supported), there's no doubt you're getting one of the best streaming packages. 

Disney+ on its own boasts a wealth of impressive programming but coupled with ESPN+ and Hulu (ad-supported), there are few other platforms that can compete. Considering it's included free with select unlimited plans, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal.
