The Grand Entrance: How to Log In to Disney+ with Verizon
So, you've heard about the incredible content on Disney+ – from classic Disney animations to epic Marvel sagas, Star Wars adventures, National Geographic documentaries, and heartwarming Pixar tales. And, as a Verizon customer, you might even have an eligible plan that includes Disney+ as a perk. But how do you actually get started? Let's dive in!
Step 1: Discover Your Eligibility – Are You Ready for the Magic?
Before we jump into the technicalities, let's confirm you're eligible for the Disney+ offer through Verizon. This is the crucial first step!
Do you have a Verizon Unlimited plan? Many Verizon Unlimited plans, especially older ones like 5G Get More or 5G Play More, included Disney+ (or the Disney Bundle) as a perk. Newer plans might offer it as a $10/month add-on.
Are you the Account Owner or an Account Manager? Only the primary account holder or someone with account manager privileges can enroll in or manage these perks.
Where to check:
My Verizon App: Open the My Verizon app, tap the "Account" tab (or "Mobile" or "Home" depending on your plan), then navigate to "Shop services & perks" and then "Entertainment." Look for "Disney+" or "The Disney Bundle."
My Verizon Website: Sign in to My Verizon using a user ID or mobile number that has Account Owner or Manager access. Navigate to "Services & perks" and then "Entertainment."
