I did this, this weekend.

For Disney+ a year for $36 > $110.

Trevor

Thanks for the Hulu show recommendations everyone, added those and a bunch others to my watchlist. Hulu has a lot more original content than I expected. Need a time machine now to watch all this content.

Getting the Hulu $1.99 deal, and adding the Disney no-ads $2.99 option was fairly easy peasey, but I hate how Disney forces shared passwords on their sites, so now I have a bunch of reconfiguring of devices to do.

I wasn't on top of this, and looks like Disney+ auto-renewed at $80 on Nov 12th. That Hulu deal looked great though.

Yup, that's the only reason I posted it here.

And we were talking about it up thread, PerryD, but apparently if you contact hulu they might be able to get you out of your Disney+ contract if you want to try to get the add on instead. I'm probably going to try closer to the 28th.

Don't forget to check out "The Bear" - quite possibly the best series of the year. IMO.

Question about this: If I cancel my Disney+ current subscription, and add it on through Hulu instead, how do I access Disney+ then? Is it still through the Disney+ app, or is it through the Hulu app?

dex14

Through Disney+ app.

Oh yeah, The Bear is fabulous. And only like eight 30 minute episodes for the first season, making it an easy binge.

So the voice of Bingo and Chilli (the animated show Bluey's Dad and Mom) were on the Tonight Show:

Bingo's voice actor looks about what I thought he would look like, and apparently he's not even an actor he's a frontman for the rock group Custard. Chilli's actress looks nothing like I imagined...

Also if you don't know what Bluey is go watch Bluey.

I canceled our Disney+ account but now I'm not seeing the $2.99 Disney+ (No Ads) Add-On through Hulu at all.

Do I need to give it a little time first to process on the Disney+ end of things?

Do I full on need to delete my Disney+ account, as well?

I'm looking under Manage Plan and also under Add-Ons at Hulu for the option to do the add-on.

Is your Disney+ subscription completely ended now? Or is it still running out through the end of your current term?

story

Ah, a closer look says access ends after today. Well, time to catch up on that last episode of Andor, enjoy the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special, then check the account on Hulu and Disney+ tomorrow!

My renewal date is the 29th this month.

What do I have to do to get the better pricing? Explain as if you are talking to an idiot. I never had hulu.

TheBang

If you only want Disney+, the only savings you can get is to subscribe to an annual plan before Dec. 8, which will get you the lower pricing for just this year ($79.99 vs. $109.99). If you are currently on a monthly plan, you should be able to go into your account settings and change it to an annual plan immediately at the low price. If you are currently on an annual plan or fixed term plan that ends on the 29th, then the only way you'd be able to do it is to call Disney+ customer service and ask if they can cancel AND inactivate your service immediately, and then sign-up again for an annual plan before Dec. 8. If they can't do that, then you'd just have to sign up for a new account (new email) before Dec. 8 and abandon your current account.

If you also want to have Hulu, you missed the best pricing for that by missing the Black Friday sale. The best you can do now is sign up for Hulu (with Ads) monthly ($7.99/month) or annual ($79.99/year), and then add-on the Disney+ (No Ads) Add-On for an additional $2.99/month. The Disney+ (No Ads) Add-On is only available before Dec. 8. If you get that Add-On before Dec. 8, you'll be able to keep it indefinitely, though they could raise the price in the future. In order to add-on Disney+, you cannot have an active Disney+ account on the email you're using to sign-up for with Hulu. So, if it's the same email as your current Disney+ account, then, again, as above, you'll have to call Disney CS and see if they can cancel AND deactivate immediately. Otherwise, you'll have to use a new email.

Thanks. Dont really need hulu. Since its not a huge discount getting the hulu/disney. I thought it was gonna be nice chunk of change.

I’ll probably just cancel at the end of the month and renew when all the epiodes of the new mando air. The star wars shows are the only thing we’ve watched in the three years on +.

I got my kiddo a phone upgrade for Christmas and Verizon threw in the Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ for "free."

story

Ugh.

So my credit card from the 3-year deal on file was expired and when I went to login in order to cancel, it wouldn't even let me get to my profile without entering a new card. Fine, okay I do that. Boom. I'm signed up for another year, all paid up automatically even though I canceled. That's why I can't find Disney+ as a Hulu add-on.

I think I'm out of luck on the deal and I'm not happy about it.

fujishig

You can try to contact Hulu support and have them cancel (tell them you want to sign up via Hulu and you accidentally renewed), but you are running out of time because if that doesn't go through by 12/8 you can't add it. Worth a try though.

story

YES! YES! YES! I got it to work! $80/annual Hulu (ads) and $2.99/month Disney+ (No Ads) is a GO!

I had to do Hulu chat, and then Disney+ chat, to confirm the steps, get our refund, and break access so I could get the bundle options I wanted, but we got there! WOOOOO!

Okay, it's Netflix time!

Netflix time?

Watch them raise the add on to like 20 bucks a month in January.

There's no thread about it (no need to make one), but the new 90 minute documentary about the history of Mickey Mouse is wonderful. So much history and amazing interviews about the history of the character. Highly recommended if you're even slightly interested in Disney animation history.
