OT: Streaming PSA: Disney+ free for Verizon customers
Found out tonight that Disney+ is free for the first 12 months for Verizon customers who have unlimited data plans (and only $6.99/month after that).
This is a pretty good deal if you have kids and/or are a Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, or National Geographic fan.
To sign up, just go to your My Verizon account and then look under Add-on Settings/Entertainment.

Must have the unlimited plan though. I went to try this Friday but we have a different Verizon plan - no dice.
There is another deal that bundles Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ together for less than $10/month that might be a good alternative.

Like, it's completely unavailable on a data limit plan? I couldn't quite determine that but assumed it would just be a nominal charge for those on x-GB plans.
But yes, the Hulu/ESPN+ deal sounds good too!

Hulu live?
November 17th, 2019 at 10:04 PM ^
The OP stated it was for those with the unlimited data plan.

I got Hulu for $0.99/month last black Friday. Posting because that's right around the corner... folks should be on the lookout if they do it again.
November 17th, 2019 at 10:47 PM ^
Yeah, and there are a lot of pre-Black Friday deals starting up soon since the holiday is so late this year.
Keep those peepers peeled!

I just switched to the start unlimited plan on Saturday and my total bill will be within a dollar of my old plan. Free Disney+ for a year and free Apple Music for 6 months for all 7 phones on my account. I was a hero for my teenagers.

The plan with all three is $12.99 a month. I looked and could not find it for $10 (or less).

Adding in, Disney+ also has every Simpsons episode ever. And it has the Mandalorian, which so far is really great.
November 17th, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
Yes, and they've fixed the aspect ratio!
November 17th, 2019 at 10:57 PM ^
I thought I read that they were going to decide what was best for us and not make the Michael Jackson episode available.
November 17th, 2019 at 10:26 PM ^
Disney + is great. The Mandalorian alone is worth it.
November 17th, 2019 at 10:36 PM ^
Disney plus has been a lot of fun. Watch Perri the squirrel from 1953.. live action squirrel drama.
Also if you want the kids coming into your bed room at 3am in the morning watch mr.boogedy !!

I’m on the Verizon deal too. Really just wanted it for The Mandalorian which is really cool so far. ??

My friend works at verizon and my dad has had unlimited and a verizon account for 35 years or so and the disney + bullshit isnt working or even shows as an addon..
A lot of people need to be prepared for it to not work. Verizon's having major issues with this and their customer service is awful about it too if you can ever get thru

FYI for people depending on which device you are streaming on. I went to watch Avengers Endgame on it yesterday and the app through my Samsung tv did not want to play it in 4K and HDR for some reason. Tried it on my xbox one x and it was playing in 4K and HDR fine. Never had an issue with Netflix 4K stuff through the TV app. So it seems like there is some bugs right now with 4K and HDR not working right on certain devices.
