What is a Disney Plus gift card and how do I send one?
Disney Plus is packed with entertainment for the whole family from classic animated movies, epic superhero stories from Marvel, every intergalactic battle from Star Wars and more. Sharing the magic is easy with a Disney Plus gift card. Perfect for anyone who loves streaming, this is a gift that will keep giving all year long.
Your recipient can enjoy a whole bunch of iconic TV shows and movies that will take them down memory lane - or make new budding fans of them. Don't forget Disney Plus also hosts a line-up of thrilling Original shows such as Andor and She-Hulk, as well as a whole 31 seasons of The Simpsons.
Below we’ll explain how to purchase and send a Disney Plus gift card (without even leaving the house), the amount you’ll pay, and any conditions that might prohibit the recipient from activating their gift subscription.
Does Disney Plus have gift cards?
Yes, although they’re more accurately called ‘gift subscriptions’, because the recipient is emailed a digital code that, once redeemed, provides them with access for an entire year to Disney Plus.
So, rather than getting a physical card loaded with a fixed amount of cash, you activate a year-long paid subscription online. (If you want an actual gift card, these are available at Disney Stores and theme parks in the US).
You can purchase a year's worth of Disney Plus through its website.
There’s no option to gift one month or six months. However, you end up saving a loved one – or yourself if you’d normally foot the bill – about 15% on a rolling monthly membership in what is one of the best streaming deals for Disney Plus currently. Not only that, but each account can be shared with up to four other people, so it’s easy to spread the Disney cheer.
It's worth noting that in the US, you can only get an annual subscription to its Ad-Free plan, which means a gift subscription will offer the same commercial free experience.

Where are Disney Plus gift cards available?
Disney Plus gift cards are currently only available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France and Germany, and can only be purchased for someone living in the same country as you. The recipient must not have an active Disney Plus account, and they should be at least 18 years of age.
How do I send someone Disney Plus with a gift card?
It's easy to make someone's online streaming dreams come true. Just follow the steps below:
Click 'Give a Year'
Enter in your name and email address
Enter the recipient's information
You can select the date you'd like the gift subscription to be sent
Enter in your payment details
Confirm the purchase
Once the lucky recipient has the email, they should visit this page to redeem their gift subscription, and manually enter the code provided in the email.
Easy. Now they can sit back and enjoy 12-months of unprecedented Disney Plus entertainment, all thanks to you. And, if they’re still loving it when the year ends, they can renew the membership by entering their own credit card details.
How much does a Disney Plus gift card cost?
A Disney Plus gift card costs the same amount as you’d pay for an annual membership. Prices are detailed below, and will vary depending on what region you live in:
US - $139.99
UK - ￡79.90
Australia - $139.99

At the moment, these are the only countries where you can buy a Disney Plus gift subscription.
What if I give a Disney Plus gift card to somebody who already subscribes?
It’s not ideal. As per the terms and conditions, only new and eligible returning Disney Plus subscribers can redeem a Disney Plus subscription that’s been gifted to them.
However! If you’ve been gifted a year of the VOD service from family or friends, but are already paying for Disney Plus on a monthly or annual basis, go ahead and cancel your current subscription. Once it’s elapsed, you’ll be free to redeem the digital subscription code and utilize that complimentary 12-month membership.
