Just the Tip:

After Disney’s price hike, the Disney+ and Hulu bundle costs just 50 cents a month more than one app, with ads or without. If you pay for one app, switch to the bundle on the same ad plan. If you pay for both ad-free apps separately, the ad-free bundle saves you $20.99 a month.

If you already subscribe, the increase hasn’t reached you yet. Disney+ and Hulu both say current subscribers see the new prices in their first billing cycle on or after Oct. 21, 2026, so a plan change made now comes before the first higher charge.

After the increase, Disney+ or Hulu alone with ads costs $12.49 a month, and the bundle of both with ads costs $12.99. Without ads, either app alone costs $21.49, and the bundle costs $21.99. Either way, the bundle adds the second service for 50 cents a month.

If you pay for both ad-free apps separately, you’re paying $42.98 a month. The ad-free bundle gives you the same two services for $21.99, which saves $20.99 a month. And if you can live with ads, the bundle with ads costs $9 a month less than the ad-free bundle.

To switch on Disney+:

  • Log in at DisneyPlus.com, choose your profile, and open Account.
  • Under Your Plans & Billing, select Change next to your subscription and pick the bundle.
  • If Hulu, Apple, Google, Amazon, or another company bills you, make the change with that company instead.
  • If you also pay for Hulu on its own, cancel that plan after the switch if it’s still billing you, so you don’t pay for Hulu twice.

Disney says a move to a lower-tier plan starts on your next billing date. Check two things before you switch. Changing plans ends any current promotion or price hold, so keep a promo rate that’s already below the bundle price. And these bundles cover only Disney+ and Hulu, so if your plan also includes ESPN or HBO Max, compare those bundles instead.

Make the change before your next bill. The next time any streaming service raises its price, check its bundles and ad plans before you pay more or cancel.
