Disney+ pricing has been a bit all over the place recently. The service raised prices across all of its streaming plans (including Hulu) last October, before offering a pretty solid Cyber Monday deal in November. Over the holidays, the streamer returned to its aforementioned increased pricing.
Fortunately for anyone trying to cut down on subscription costs this year, Disney+ has been one of the first streaming services to offer a real discount in 2026.
Get 1 Month of Hulu and Disney+ for $9.99
Disney+ and Hulu (with ads)

New and eligible returning subscribers can get one month of ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu for $9.99, a solid $3 off the standard pricing of $12.99. A whole cup of coffee, I know. Eligible returning subscribers, in this case, means anyone not already subscribed to Disney+ or any of its many bundle options. And, yes, unfortunately the deal is only available for the version of the bundle with ads.
While not exactly an eye-watering discount, the couple bucks could certainly be worth it if you’re looking to test out the waters of a new streaming service or catch up on a particular streaming release. The discount lowers the bundle price to $2 less than standalone Disney+ or Hulu, so if anything draws you to either of those two services, it’s worth it to pick up both. Otherwise, the only way to get a proper Disney+ free trial is through Hulu + Live TV.
According to the Disney+ website, the discount lasts until February 17, giving you a couple weeks to think about what you could do with an extra $3.
What’s on Disney+ and Hulu?
As a taster, new additions to Disney+ this month include the The Muppet Show reboot, which we said “deserves two flippers up and a Kermit flail” (positive, it rocks). Disney+ is also home to the MCU, and it’s a better time than ever to catch up on some homework ahead of Avengers: Doomsday. Of course, you’ll also get the full slate of Star Wars, Pixar, National Geographic, and all things Disney.
Hulu, on the other hand, has streaming exclusives like The Handmaid’s Tale, Shogun, and Only Murders in the Building. It’s also the streaming home for the Predator franchise, with exclusive releases like Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers. It’s a little all over the place, but there’s some value to that when you’re trying to find new things to watch.
