Disney Announces Bundled Subscription Option for Disney+, ESPN+, and Ad-Free Hulu

Disney has introduced a new bundling option for its streaming services, Disney+, ESPN+, and the ad-free version of Hulu. The announcement was made during Disney's Investor Day event in December and the new bundle was rolled out late last week.

The bundled premium tier, which includes Disney+, ESPN+, and the ad-free version of Hulu, costs $19 per month, while the package with ad-supported Hulu costs $13 per month. This represents a significant saving for subscribers, as they are effectively getting a third service for free.

The current price for the ad-free bundle of Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu, as subscribed on Hulu's website, is $38.99 per month for 12 months, after which it renews at $44.99 per month until canceled. However, with the new bundle, subscribers will pay $19 or $13 per month, depending on their choice of Hulu.

It's worth noting that Hulu offers both ad-supported and ad-free options. Hulu with Live TV is available for those who want live TV, while the ad-free version is ideal for those who prefer a commercial-free experience.

Incoming subscribers will still have to go through Hulu's website to access additional options like Hulu with Live TV. Gizmodo has confirmed the rollout of the new ads-free bundle option with Disney.

Disney+ alone will increase from $7 to $8, starting March 26. With its new pricing, Disney will still match the cost of three services to what Netflix subscribers pay for one under the company's standard plan.

One of the standout series on Disney+ is "The Mandalorian", a little-known series that has received good reviews. The series follows the adventures of a bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe and is a must-watch for fans of the franchise.

No official word has been given yet on what the ad-free version of the bundle will cost when pricing changes. However, with the savings offered by the bundled subscription, it's a great option for those who want a comprehensive streaming experience at an affordable price.
