The hotly-anticipated launch of Disney+ has had its highs (The Mandalorian is finally available to stream!) and lows (a litany of connectivity/performance issues). But one pressing question on the mind of many a cord-cutter is how to add Disney+ to a pre-existing Hulu account. Show
Disney+ is available for $6.99/month, but you can also purchase a streaming bundle that includes Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+ for only $12.99/month. That’s a ton of content for the price of thirteen dollar store items, but is the high-profile bundle right for you? Decider went through the Disney+ bundle sign up process in the hopes of answering any and all questions you might have about the new streaming deal. How can you add Disney+ to your Hulu account? Does the Disney+ bundle include the Hulu with no ads plan? Here’s everything you need to know! CAN I ADD DISNEY PLUS THROUGH MY HULU ACCOUNT?As of now, no. While you can still add Hulu + Live TV, HBO, and other add ons through your Hulu account settings, you can’t add Disney+ via your Hulu account. In order to purchase the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle, you need to visit the Disney+ website. DOES THE DISNEY PLUS/HULU/ESPN PLUS BUNDLE INCLUDE HULU WITH NO ADS?If you’re a Hulu with no ads subscriber ($11.99/month), you’ll receive a $5.99 credit toward your Disney bundle subscription ($12.99), which means your monthly subscription will cost $18.99. Hulu + Live TV subscribers are also eligible for the $5.99 credit, meaning you can bundle Disney +, Hulu, and ESPN+ for $51.99 ($44.99 + $12.99 -$5.99). Subscribers will receive two separate monthly charges — one from Disney+, one from Hulu — that may have two separate billing dates. HOW TO GET THE DISNEY PLUS/HULU BUNDLE:First, you need to visit the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle page and click the “buy now” option. Unfortunately, the bundle is not eligible for a free trial. $19.99 from Disney+
