I actually talked to Verizon the other day before all this and was checking to see if I could still do the ad-free Hulu trick, but they said nope because I was grandfathered into the free plan at this point. They basically said any major plan changes, and it is gone with the wind. So, I guess they may just let people hang on to it until the ultimately make some kind of change to their plan.

I just got an email that my Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max commercial free bundle is going up $3 to $32.99. I didn't think it was going up, but I missed it in the original article posted

Re: Disney+ streaming service
Okay, color me confused.
I had Hulu with ads, I had the 3-year Disney+ deal, then I did the whole switch for Hulu with ads and the Disney+ with no ads as an add-on. Looks like the price for that is going up and it is what it is?
But the other thing is I got a new card after losing my wallet and I entered that as payment. But ever since then, Disney+ insists we ARE subscribers BUT won't let us login on TV or tablets.
Ideas?

Some analysts had expected Disney+ sub growth to flatline in the quarter, after a wave of consumers threatened to cancel their subscriptions because of ABC’s decision to
briefly suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show in September over his on-air comments about “the MAGA gang” trying to score political points from Charlie Kirk’s murder. In addition, some conservatives said they dropped Disney’s streaming services in protest of Kimmel’s remarks. While cancellation rates for Disney+ and Hulu doubled in September vs. the prior two months, sign-ups also increased for both services, according to independent measurement firm Antenna.

Wow. I didn’t realize the quality of the ad-tier stream was so surprisingly bad. I unfortunately bit on the $4.99 BF deal, but at least it was only for a month.

Re: Disney+ streaming service
I got in on the original 3-year plan.
Then I got the cheap ad-free add-on with Hulu, effectively grandfathered in at a great rate. And thankfully, much of Hulu is also covered with our T-Mobile package.
Got this email today. Looks like this grandfathered subscriber is being taken out behind the shed unless I make a more-expensive change.
Lame.

In theory, thanks to all the years it's been free from Verizon, I still have almost a full year on that original 3yr D+ promo.

Instead, I have the Disney+/Hulu bundle (with ads) now, free through my Spectrum TV subscription (Spectrum is bundled through my condo). Pihole does a pretty good job of blocking ads on Disney+. If there's ever a time that I want to binge Hulu content, I'll spring for the $9/month ad-free add-on and then cancel it when I'm done.

Re: Disney+ streaming service
but now I have an issue after getting the Hulu plus D+ $5 with ads deal.
I had to create a new email to do it so I used my main email and did the thing where you put a period in the middle somewhere
So who.tony @gmail.com
So now I have my original 3 year plan still going and another D+/Hulu with adds account.
I was hoping, expecting to be able to connect that Hulu deal to the first D+ account but I can't figure out if that is something I can do.
For me to be able to watch Hulu programming I have to switch to the other account then back to My D+ without ads to watch D+
Anyone have thoughts on this?

You can't do that. Use the separate Hulu and Disney+ apps. Sign into the Hulu app with your "new" email. Sign into the Disney+ app with your original email. Use the Hulu app for watching Hulu content. Use the Disney+ app for viewing Disney+ content.

Am I missing something . . . I apparently have to order it right now? (It says good through 2/26, but no way to stash it in my Subway app. It goes right to a screen trying to get me to order now.)

Re: Disney+ streaming service
Our yearly price for Disney+ (in Canada) was going to increase by a lot, so we jumped on a Black Friday deal for the ad supported tier at only $3.99 per month for a year, that will kick in on January 1st. How bad and intrusive are the ads? We have the ad supported tier of Netflix and I don't find them to be too bad or intrusive (and it's much cheaper). I'm just not sure what I'm in for with Disney+ come January, we've always had the ad free tier since they first started.
