Does Disney Plus Offer a Student Discount?

Disney Plus doesn't offer a student discount — at least not directly. If you want student-focused savings, expect that you'll have to use a student discount site like Student Beans or UNiDAYS to take advantage of offers that may be live. At the time of publication, new users could get 15% off a 12-month Disney Plus subscription:

How To Get The Discount

  1. Visit UNiDAYS.
  2. Create an account or log in.
    PLACEHOLDER
  3. Verify your student status.
  4. Search for "Disney Plus" and activate the deal.
PLACEHOLDER

Please note, since it's not directly from Disney Plus, your success rate may be hit-or-miss. As far as eligibility, students must be over the age of 18, currently enrolled in a US college or university, and have a valid .edu email address or proof of enrollment.

  • Standalone plan with ads is available for $9.99 per month
  • Ad-free option is $15.99 per month.

What About Disney Plus Student Bundles?

It's important to note that as of April 2025, Disney Plus does not offer student discounts, either for its standalone streaming service or for the Disney Bundle. Check Disney directly for current pricing and promotional offers.

Other Ways Students Can Save This Month

Check for a Disney Plus Add-On Deal via Hulu

If you haven't already done so, consider signing up for Hulu first. Qualified users can take advantage of the Hulu Student Deal costing $1.99 a month, and then potentially get Disney Plus as an add-on at a discounted rate. Some users have reported being able to add Disney Plus for just $2 per month, though prices may also vary. Check for promotions like this through your Hulu account. If you try to sign up for a promotion through Disney Plus, you might forfeit other promotional pricing and could end up paying more in the long run.

Opt for a Disney Plus Bundle

Do you have more wiggle room? Then you can opt for a Hulu and Disney Plus bundle. If you can put up with ads, you can snag the duo for just $10.99 per month. That's only about 10% more than Disney Plus with ads alone! You can bundle the two services without ads, too; it'll cost you $19.99 per month to do so. Considering that Hulu alone with no ads is $18.99 per month and Disney Plus without ads is $15.99 per month, you're saving 43% overall for both services. You'll save 45% for the with-ads bundle, too!

A Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max bundle is now available, too, and launched during the summer of 2024. You can sign up on any of the three sites. A with-ads version of the bundle costs $16.99 monthly, which is a 43% savings versus the price you'd pay every month for each service. A no-ads version is available, as well, though ads still show up in select content. For that plan, you'll pay $29.99 a month, saving you 42% compared to the regular monthly prices.

Which Other Streaming Services Have Student Discounts in 2026?

If you can't take advantage of a Disney Plus student discount for some reason, then see if you're interested in other streaming services that do offer direct student discounts in 2025. These include Peacock, Paramount Plus, and of course the aforementioned Hulu student discount.

Which Disney Plus Membership Packages Have Ads?

Disney Plus standalone subscriptions are ad-supported or ad-free depending on which you choose. Additionally, the Hulu plan included in some bundles is ad-supported, available at $1.99/month for students, with an option to add Disney+ for an additional fee.

When is the Best Time to Save on Disney Plus?

Discounts tend to align with back-to-school seasons and major holidays. For the 2025 school year, students should look out for special promotions around August and December, when streaming services often release competitive deals to attract new subscribers. If you're wondering if Disney Plus has a free trial this year, check our article has the answers you're looking for!

Are Student Discounts Stackable?

Generally, student discounts through platforms like UNiDAYS or Student Beans are not stackable with other Disney Plus offers, including bundle discounts. However, bundling services like Hulu and ESPN+ can provide additional savings not directly tied to the student discount.

Does The Discount Expire?

Disney Plus student discounts typically require periodic re-verification through the third-party platform to remain active. Renewal terms vary, and students should check their verification status annually or as required to maintain the discount. Regular updates on eligibility and renewal can be accessed through the discount provider's platform.
