TV fans who want to keep up with all the new shows on streaming each week will find the Disney Bundle a great way to get access to loads of services without paying too much; Disney Plus, Hulu and optionally ESPN Plus can all be included for a discount over their individual costs.

Because of the savings you can face, the Disney Bundle has become very popular in the US, especially if you like your sports as much as your movies or TV shows.

However you'll find yourself watching a bit more than you bargained for with the lowest tiers of the Disney Bundle, because the default plan is for the ad-enabled tiers of the services.

If you want to watch the best new shows but not adverts before, during and after them, then you'll want to sign up to the Disney Bundle with ad-free Hulu, and here's how.

How to sign up for the Disney Bundle with ad-free Hulu

If you can't bear ads on your streaming services, then you're likely to want to sign up for the Disney Bundle with the ad-free versions of Disney Plus and Hulu (there's no ad-free version of ESPN Plus). The good news is that it's pretty simple to do.

Here are the steps you need to follow to sign up for the Disney Bundle with ad-free Hulu:

  1. Go to disneyplus.com
  2. Select "Get the Disney Bundle"
  3. Enter your email address and create a password
  4. Select The Disney Bundle you want.
  5. Submit your payment information
  6. Select Hulu right below the message, "Start streaming Hulu or ESPN Plus or UFC PPV" to activate your Hulu account

Disney Bundle with ad-free Hulu FAQs

Does getting ad-free Hulu cost more?

The Disney Bundle with ad-free Disney Plus and Hulu is priced at $19.99 per month. You get all the same features as you would with the $12.99 ad-supported version of the bundle — unlimited access to Disney Plus, ESPN Plus and Hulu's content, as well as available add-ons like HBO Max, Showtime, Cinemax and Starz — the biggest deal is what you don't get... the ads. 

Even with the price bump for getting rid of ads, the Bundle price is a big saving compared to what you would pay for the three streaming services separately.

Can you sign up for the Disney Bundle and get Hulu with Live TV?

The above steps will get you the standard Hulu service that contains the full library of Hulu shows and movies, but consumers can add live TV to their Disney Bundle as well, again with no ads.

Hulu with Live TV, which just like it sounds offers all the content available on the standard Hulu streaming service and live TV, now carries Disney Plus and ESPN Plus as standard features. Just as it is with the standard Hulu, Hulu with Live TV offers an ad-supported plan for $69.99 per month and an ad-free plan for $75.99 per month.

Note: you can only sign up for Hulu with Live TV (ad-free) directly — on the Hulu website.
