These days, streaming services are a dime a dozen. Disney+ offers some of the best value in relation to the exclusive content it has available, as you’ll not only have access to dozens of Disney and Pixar films and TV shows, but the entirety of the collected Marvel Cinematic Universe and every Star Wars project pre- and post-acquisition. Depending on the subscription tier or bundle you pick, you can also experience Hulu and ESPN Unlimited content as well, making this the best bang-for-your-buck streaming services around.
But did you know you can give a Disney+ subscription as a gift? We’ve gathered everything you need to know on how to give a subscription out to your loved ones and how the process works. It’s a wonderful Disney gift idea for 2025.
How to Give Disney+ As a Gift
The best way to go about giving a Disney+ subscription as a gift is through a gift card. You can choose values anywhere between $25 and $200 to load onto the card, so figure out what your gift recipient likes and plan accordingly. One month of Disney+ is $10.99 for example, so the base $25 is good for two months.
How to redeem a gift card
- When you’re ready to redeem, visit the disneyplus.com/commerce/gift webpage
- Enter the gift card number, security code, and ZIP and they’re ready to go. If they’re a first-time subscriber, they’ll have to create an account.
- Select the desired Disney+ or bundle plan.
Does a Disney+ Gift Card Work With Streaming Bundles?
There are a handful of different Disney+ bundles available, and luckily the gift cards work towards these as well. So if you’re wanting to grab Hulu, ESPN, and HBO Max to bundle and save, you can do so to save a few bucks. Our explainer guide on how to get or switch to one of these bundles is a useful tool for how to decide what to pick.
How Much Should You Gift?
Like I mentioned previously, you can load the gift card with values ranging from $25 all the way up to $200. Some folks like to pay up front for their longterm subscriptions so they don’t have to worry about it later, so a gift card of $100+ is a great route to take if you’re planning on binging the entirety of the MCU or catch up on Andor. Check out our Disney+ bundle price guide for more info, or look at a quick TL;DR below so you can get a good idea of how much to give as a gift. Keep in mind only Disney+ premium includes 4K streaming.
