What is Disney Plus?
This is your complete guide to the Disney+ bundle! Disney+ is one of the newest streaming services created by the Walt Disney Company. The platform was launched in November of 2019 and has quickly become one of the most popular streaming services on the market.
Users can stream almost the entire library of Disney content: Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm (Star Wars), Marvel, and even National Geographic. Not to mention, the newest merger bringing the top hits from 20th Century Fox Properties like Home Alone, Avatar, and even all 30 seasons of the Simpsons.
So if you’re ready to learn more here is your comprehensive guide to all things about the Disney Plus Bundle!
What Is The Disney+ Bundle?
For one low monthly price users will have access to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ which are all owned by the Walt Disney company. The price of the Disney+ bundle start at $12.99. This is a great deal when comparing what you would pay for each of the three services individually. As discussed Disney+ starts at 6.99, while ESPN+ is $4.99 per month, and Hulu starts at $5.99 per month. That’s a savings of $4.98 each month just by bundling the three subscriptions.
The only downside at the moment is Disney does not allow users to pay yearly for an even bigger savings that we typically see elsewhere. However we do feel like that might be something we see in the future so be sure to check back with this post as we will keep it updated!
What is Hulu as part of the Disney+ Bundle?
Hulu has been around the longest out of all of the three streaming services you get in the Disney+ Bundle. If you are not familiar as to what Hulu is, it was a streaming service that launched in the fall of 2007.
Hulu was originally created by NBC Universal, however with the recent merger of Disney and 20th Century Fox in March of 2019 Disney now owns a majority of the company. With this recent change in power NBC has aggreged to sell Disney it’s remaining shares and we expect a complete transition by 2024.
I for one, love the shows on Hulu and it’s definitely where viewers can find edgier movies and TV shows. If you did want to sign up for Hulu individually there would be two options including their main streaming service and the Hulu+ live TV. The prices for each do vary based on if you opt in for commercials or without however the basic Hulu streaming starts at $5.99 per month and the Hulu+ Live starts at 44.99 per month.
What Is ESPN+ as Part of the Disney+ Bundle?
Disney’s ESPN+ is the final streaming service you get with the Disney+ Bundle. It launched in 2018 and is simply a must for the sports fan in your family. With ESPN+ you can stream the top sporting events including the NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS, College sports and so much more.
The coolest thing about the ESPN+ app is you no longer need a cable subscription to stream this service on your phone of home TV. Users can even view some of the best documentaries ESPN has released over the years.
