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

.

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+.

This Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida, MMA fans are getting treated to two championship bouts at UFC 273. Alexander Volkanovski will defend his featherweight title against Chan Sung Jung, while bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling will be facing off against former champ Petr Yan in a long-awaited rematch. This is a pay-per-view event, and while you need to sign up for ESPN+ and buy the PPV in order to watch the UFC 273 live stream online, the Disney Bundle might be an even better value.
Sign Up Now
UFC 273 is the MMA league's monthly pay-per-view for April, and like all UFC PPV shows, it requires an ESPN+ membership to watch it live. ESPN+ itself costs $7 per month or $70 per year and brings a cornucopia of live and on-demand sports content to compatible mobile devices, smart TVs, streaming sticks, web browsers, and gaming consoles. ESPN+ gives sports lovers and fight fans a lot to chew on and it's by far the best way to watch UFC fights online, but if you like to stream other entertainment as well, then the Disney Bundle is worth the upgrade.

The Disney Bundle includes ESPN+ as well as Disney+ and basic Hulu for $14 per month, which saves you more than 30% on the combined prices of these three streaming services. Along with ESPN+ content like UFC fights, the Disney Bundle gets you access to the full catalog of Disney+ movies, Disney+ shows, Hulu shows, Hulu movies, Hulu original series, and Disney+ exclusives like The Mandalorian and Loki, among many others. That's a boatload of entertainment for just $14 per month.
