With a rapidly-growing library that’s drawing millions upon millions of new subscribers, Disney+ is taking the video streaming industry by storm. In addition to classic and modern Disney movies and shows, the service also grants access to ABC, Fox, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic content for the whole family to enjoy.

If you know of a friend or family member who’s an avid Disney fan but hasn’t signed up for Disney+ yet, you might want to consider giving them a gift subscription. The process is quick and easy, and it will cost $80 for a year, which is the same amount that you paid for your Disney+ subscription. They’ll thank you for giving them the chance to watch the best shows on Disney+, as well as the best movies on Disney+.

How to gift friends or family a year of Disney+

Once you’ve made up your mind that you’re giving a friend or family member a one-year subscription to Disney+, you can start by visiting this

page

.

You’ll have to enter your name and email address, as well as that of your intended recipient, and the date when you want the gift card to be delivered. The email containing the Disney+ gift card may be accompanied by a personalized message of up to 300 characters, so it’s an ideal present for occasions like birthdays and holidays.

Afterward, you’ll enter your payment information to complete the purchase of the Disney+ gift card. Once the recipient receives the email, they’ll just have to follow the instructions to redeem the code and acquire the one-year subscription. It’s worth noting that that subscription may only be given to new subscribers — they can’t prolong existing subscriptions.

Does Disney+ have a gift card?

If you were hoping to give a one-year Disney+ subscription as an actual gift, like a card inside an envelope or a box, unfortunately, there’s no physical gift card that you can purchase. The gift subscription will be sent in digital form to the recipient’s email, which will include instructions on how to activate it.

It might not have a physical version, but a Disney+ gift subscription will be very much appreciated by whoever receives it, especially because there’s always something new on Disney+. If you already have someone in mind that you’d like to receive a one-year Disney+ subscription from you, click that Buy Now button to start the process.

How, when, and where to watch Disenchanted on its premiere day

After many years of anticipation, Disney is finally releasing Disenchanted, the sequel to the beloved musical, Enchanted. The film premieres on November 18, and if you've been patiently waiting for the next chapter in Giselle's story, you'll want to know exactly how and where to watch.
How to watch Disenchanted in the U.S.
On November 18, fans of Disney's Enchanted can tune into Disney+ to enjoy the sequel to the beloved film. Disenchanted, starring Amy Adams, picks up fifteen years from the end of the first movie. Giselle decides to move her family out of the city and into the suburbs, but the move turns out to be so much harder than she could have imagined. For those who are already subscribed to Disney+, enjoying Disenchanted is as simple as logging in and pressing play. However, if you have yet to sign up for the streaming platform, now is the time to join.

Even though you can sign up for a Disney+ subscription for $8 per month, that may not present the best way to get the most bang for your buck. If you're looking to watch more content beyond Disenchanted, you may want to consider signing up for the Disney+ bundle, which offers full access to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for one super low price of $14 per month. That's an incredible value considering that a standalone Disney+ subscription would be half the price but one-third of the content.
