At just $6.99 per month, Disney Plus is as affordable as it is nostalgic (in comparison with many other streaming services). The platform features a large collection of classic titles and recent movies and shows from Disney's various brands and franchises, including Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic. New exclusive programming is also available to subscribers.

With that said, as extensive as the Disney Plus library is, the platform does have some weak spots when it comes to certain types of content. Most notably, Disney Plus doesn't offer sports or any currently airing seasons of network shows. The service's family-friendly library also lacks any R-rated content. Thankfully, Disney Plus offers a discounted bundle with ESPN+ and Hulu (basic version) to give subscribers those viewing options.

The bundle costs $12.99 per month, which is about $5 less per month than you'd pay if you subscribed to each service separately. Though the deal includes the version of Hulu with ads, there is a workaround to include ad-free Hulu for an extra $6 per month. There's also a way to use the bundle discount with Hulu's live TV plan. No matter which Hulu plan you upgrade to, you'll still save $5 per month by signing up for all three services this way compared with signing up for each of them separately.

It should be noted, however, that while Disney Plus is now available in the UK and other global markets, the bundle with ESPN+ and Hulu is only available in the US. UK subscribers can still sign up for Disney Plus, but the platform is currently only available as a standalone service for £5.99 per month or £59.99 per year in that region.

Updated on 7/23/2020: Added more information about signing up for ad-free Hulu and Hulu + Live TV with the Disney Plus bundle.

How to sign up for the Disney Plus, ESPN+, and Hulu bundle

If you live in the US, signing up for the Disney Plus bundle with Hulu (basic version) and ESPN+ is as simple as visiting the Disney Plus website and selecting the bundle option. The package costs $12.99 a month.

After entering in your email address and payment information you'll be able to activate your account on each service. You can use the same log in information across each platform, but you will need to access each service's app separately.

This default bundle only includes the ad-supported version of Hulu, but there is a workaround for the ad-free and live TV versions of Hulu. This takes a few more steps, but we've broken the process down below to make things easy.
