You have a lot to choose from when it comes to finding the best streaming service for your needs. The Disney bundle is designed to satisfy as many of those as possible by grouping three services under one discounted price. Originally, it only featured Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus — three Disney-owned platforms. As of this summer, a new bundle has launched, adding Max to the mix. 

Taking advantage of the Disney Bundle can save you over 40% compared to subscribing to each service individually. Especially considering Disney Plus' content gaps in terms of mature content and sports, bundling multiple services together provides more to watch for viewers of every age, from animated Pixar films to gritty FX dramas. 

Hulu supplements Disney Plus with lots of network series and shows geared toward adults, like "The Bear," "The Veil," and "The Handmaid's Tale." Meanwhile, ESPN Plus adds live NFL, MLB, and NHL games, along with other sports. Subscribers can also watch UFC matches and buy exclusive PPV fights. Max brings critically acclaimed content like "House of the Dragon" and "The Last of Us."

If you're considering signing up for the Disney Plus Bundles, we're here to help answer all your questions about pricing, plans, and deals. Here's everything you need to know about the Disney Bundle options, including upcoming price hikes later this month.

How much does the Disney Plus Bundle cost?

The Disney Plus Bundle is available in six different packages, with Duo prices starting at $10 a month, Trio prices starting at $15 a month, and Max offerings starting at $17 a month. Rates are set to increase on October 17.

Here's a full breakdown of Disney Plus Bundle prices, including upcoming price hikes.

How to sign up for the Disney Plus Bundle

If you live in the US, signing up for the Disney Plus Bundle with Hulu and ESPN Plus is as simple as visiting the Disney Plus website and selecting your desired plan. To sign up for the Max version, just visit this website to get started instead.

After entering your email address and payment information, you can activate your account on each service. You can use the same account information across each platform and watch Hulu from the Disney Plus app and website. Select HBO content is also available to watch from the Hulu app. Otherwise, you'll need to sign into the specific app — Hulu, Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, or Max — in order to view its relevant content.  

Can I get the Disney Bundle for free?

Though Verizon previously offered free access to the Disney Bundle with its 5G Play More Unlimited and 5G Get More Unlimited phone plans, this promotion is no longer active for new members. We'll update this section if a new deal becomes available.

Can current subscribers upgrade to the Disney Bundle?

Yes, current Disney Plus, Hulu, Max, or ESPN Plus subscribers can upgrade any of their existing subscriptions to the bundle. You just need to sign up for the Disney Bundle using the same email address on file for your current membership. Disney will then adjust the bundle cost to account for your existing subscription fees.

Though current Max subscribers can upgrade to the bundle to get Disney Plus and Hulu included, remember that the Max Ultimate Ad-Free plan is not included. That means current Ultimate members will see a downgrade in streaming quality if they choose to bundle, as only HD 1080p is available. To stream Max in 4K UHD, you'll need to stick with the Ultimate Ad-Free plan.

Remember, however, that members who have existing subscriptions through special promotions — like Spotify's Student Plan with Hulu and Showtime — are not eligible for an upgrade to the bundle. 

Can I watch Disney Plus and Hulu content in the same app?

Though Disney Plus and Hulu remain separate services, as of December 2023, a one-app experience is now available for Disney Plus Bundle members. If you subscribe to both services, Hulu content is now accessible through the Disney Plus app.

To browse Hulu's selection, you must simply navigate to the Hulu hub on the Disney Plus home screen. Hulu content also appears in search results in the Disney Plus app.

Disney Plus, however, is not accessible from the Hulu site or app. 

Does Hulu + Live TV include the Disney Bundle?

Hulu + Live TV plans come with Disney Plus and ESPN Plus automatically. Hulu + Live TV subscribers don't have to pay extra or adjust any options in order to get the bundle. The service also lets you stream more than 90 live TV channels. Check out our Hulu Live TV channels roundup to see the full lineup. 

Hulu + Live TV plans cost $77 a month for ad-supported on-demand streaming or $90 a month for ad-free on-demand streaming. To sign up for the Disney bundle with Hulu + Live TV, visit the Hulu + Live TV page.

Can I watch Max from the Hulu app?

Disney/Hulu/Max Bundle subscribers can watch select HBO content from the Hulu app, but not all. With the Max add-on, select titles like "Euphoria," "House of the Dragon," and "The Last of Us" can be found within the Hulu app. Non-HBO or Max exclusive content, like the Studio Ghibli and Harry Potter libraries, cannot be found in the Hulu app.
