Editor’s Note: Disney suspended the Disney+ free trial in the US in June 2020. It hasn’t said whether it’ll resume it again in the future, but you can take it for a spin for a month for only $7 or upgrade to the Disney Bundle with ESPN+ and Hulu thrown in for $14 per month — cancel anytime, no strings attached. 

Take Disney+ for a Spin & Cancel Anytime

Searching for a Disney+ free trial? How does a week’s access to the streaming service for the low, low price of absolutely nothing sound? Sold? Follow this short guide and you’ll be streaming the latest season of The Simpsons in no more than a couple of minutes without handing over a dime.

Signing up for the Disney+ free trial couldn’t be easier. It’s as simple as heading over to the website — or clicking the button below — and following the on-screen instructions to create an account. You will be asked to enter some credit card information to continue the subscription once the taster is over.

Chances are, though, you’ll fall in love with the service’s unrivaled catalog and will be budgeting for an annual membership by the end of the week.

It’s not just the kids who will love Disney+. The streaming service is home to every episode of The Simpsons aired to date, listed alongside almost all of the movies in Walt’s collection, including AvatarBig Hero 6, Frozen and Frozen 2Guardians of the GalaxyIron Man, The Lion King, and Toy Story.

Chances are you’ve heard about Disney+ for a totally different reason. You know what we’re talking about: The Mandalorian, the hit Star Wars-themed show starring Baby Yoda. Well, fantastic news: A second season is in the works as well as at least two more exclusive live-action Star Wars shows.
