These days, streaming services are a dime a dozen. If you're looking for one that offers real value with a rich library of exclusive content, Disney+ stands out from the crowd. With access to an impressive collection of Disney and Pixar films, every Marvel Cinematic Universe title, and the complete Star Wars saga—both before and after Disney's acquisition—it’s hard to beat. Depending on your chosen subscription plan or bundle, you can also enjoy Hulu and ESPN content, making Disney+ one of the most cost-effective streaming platforms available today.
Looking for a thoughtful and modern gift idea this Father’s Day? Why not give the gift of entertainment with a Disney+ subscription? It’s easy to do, and we’ve got everything you need to know about how to send a Disney+ gift to a loved one and get them streaming in no time.
How to Give Disney+ as a Gift
Disney+ Gifting Options
The simplest and most flexible way to give someone a Disney+ subscription is through a Disney+ gift card. These cards allow you to load amounts ranging from $25 to $200, so you can tailor the gift based on how long you’d like the recipient to enjoy their service. For example, since a standard monthly subscription costs $10.99, a $25 gift card provides coverage for more than two months of uninterrupted streaming.
Here’s how to purchase and redeem a Disney+ gift card:
- Determine how much you'd like to add—between $25 and $200.
- Visit disneyplus.com/giftcard to buy an e-gift card online, or pick up a physical card at Disney stores, Target, Walmart, and other major retailers.
- Select a nice design and include a personal message to make your gift even more special.
- When the recipient is ready to use it, they can go to disneyplus.com/commerce/gift, enter the gift card number, security code, and ZIP code to activate.
- If they’re new to Disney+, they’ll need to create an account first and select their preferred plan—Disney+ alone or a bundled option.
Does a Disney+ Gift Card Work With Streaming Bundles?
Yes! Disney+ gift cards can be used toward any of the available Disney+ bundles. Whether your recipient prefers the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ combo or wants to upgrade to include HBO Max, the gift card will apply seamlessly. This gives the person receiving the gift the freedom to choose—or switch—to the plan that best suits their viewing preferences. You can learn more about these options in our detailed guide on how to select or change your Disney+ bundle.
How Much Should You Gift?
With gift card values starting at $25 and going all the way up to $200, you have plenty of flexibility.
