As of October 2026, Disney Plus costs $12.49 a month with ads in the US, or $21.49 a month for Disney+ Premium with no ads. Premium is also sold as an annual plan at $214.99 a year, and bundles with Hulu start at $12.99 a month.
Disney Plus pricing looks confusing because Disney sells it alone and inside a long list of bundles with Hulu, ESPN and HBO Max. The good news is that once you see the plans laid out, the choice is usually obvious. Every figure here comes from the plans page on the US Disney+ site.
Disney Plus on its own
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Ads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disney+ (With Ads) | $12.49 | No annual price listed | Yes |
| Disney+ Premium | $21.49 | $214.99 | No, except in select live and linear content |
The annual option is only listed for Premium. Disney compares it with paying the Premium monthly price for 12 months, so it's worth it only if you're sure you'll keep Disney Plus all year.
A small print point to know: Disney says ads are served in select live and linear content on every Disney+ plan, Premium included. So no ads means no ads in the on demand library, not in live broadcasts.
Disney Plus bundle prices
These are the bundles on the same page, as of October 2026, all in US dollars.
| Bundle | Price a month | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Disney+, Hulu Bundle | $12.99 ($11.99 for the first 6 months) | Disney+ and Hulu, both with ads |
| Disney+, Hulu Bundle Premium | $21.99 ($19.99 for the first 6 months) | Disney+ and Hulu, both without ads |
| Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max (With Ads) | $21.99 | All three with ads |
| Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max (No Ads) | $34.99 | All three without ads |
| Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select | $21.99 | Disney+ and Hulu with ads, ESPN Select |
| Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select Premium | $32.99 | Disney+ and Hulu without ads, ESPN Select |
| Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited | $35.99 | Disney+ and Hulu with ads, ESPN Unlimited |
| Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited Premium | $44.99 | Disney+ and Hulu without ads, ESPN Unlimited |
| Hulu + Live TV, Disney+, ESPN Select | $99.99 | Live TV plus the streaming apps |
Look at the first row against Disney+ on its own. At the regular prices on the page, the Disney+, Hulu Bundle with ads costs only a little more than Disney+ With Ads by itself, and you get Hulu on top. If you'd watch anything on Hulu at all, the bundle is the better buy.
How the 6 month bundle offer works
The intro price on the Disney+, Hulu bundles isn't a monthly discount you can walk away from. Disney's terms say the 6 months are charged as one term: $71.94 for the ad supported bundle, or $119.94 for the Premium bundle, and then it renews monthly at $12.99 or $21.99.
If you cancel during those first 6 months, the cancellation takes effect at the end of the 6 month term. After that, cancelling takes effect at the end of your monthly billing period. So don't take the offer if you only want one month.
Disney Plus for students
College and graduate students in the US can get the ad supported Disney+, Hulu Bundle for $6.49 a month, as long as their enrolment stays verified. After that it moves to $12.99 a month, or whatever the regular price is then. Disney says it's for US residents aged 18 or over at an eligible US university or post secondary institution.
The data sharing line in the HBO Max bundle
One more detail from Disney's terms that's easy to miss. Disney says that by signing up for the Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max Bundle, you direct Disney+ and Hulu to share your email address and subscription details with HBO Max for eligibility, marketing and other purposes. If you'd rather keep your details with fewer companies, buy the services you want separately instead.
Bundle terms also say they're for US residents aged 18 or over, and that location data is needed to watch certain content.
What you get on every plan
- Multiple members of your household can stream at the same time.
- A growing range of titles in 4K UHD and Dolby Atmos on compatible devices.
- Parental controls, content rating filters, PIN protection and Junior Mode for each profile.
- On eligible bundles, select Hulu and ESPN content inside the Disney+ app. Disney says Hulu content via Disney+ can stream on up to 2 devices at once, and the rest is only in the Hulu app.

How to pick the right Disney Plus plan
- Decide whether you mind ads. If you don't, start with the Disney+, Hulu Bundle rather than Disney+ alone.
- If you want no ads and you'll keep it all year, compare Premium at $214.99 a year with $21.49 a month.
- If you also pay for HBO Max, look at the three way bundle at $21.99 with ads or $34.99 without.
- Sports fans should compare the ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited bundles.
- Students should check eligibility for the $6.49 bundle before paying anything else.

My verdict
Very few people should pay for Disney+ on its own. At $12.99 a month, the Disney+, Hulu Bundle with ads costs barely more than Disney+ With Ads and gives you two libraries. If you hate ads, the Premium bundle at $21.99 sits very close to Disney+ Premium alone at $21.49. And if you already pay for HBO Max separately, the three way bundle is where the real saving sits.
