We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with
confidence. While we don't cover every company or financial product on
the market, we work hard to share a wide range of offers and objective
editorial perspectives.
So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us for advertisements that
appear on our site. This compensation helps us provide tools and services -
like free credit score access and monitoring. With the exception of
mortgage, home equity and other home-lending products or services, partner
compensation is one of several factors that may affect which products we
highlight and where they appear on our site. Other factors include your
credit profile, product availability and proprietary website methodologies.
However, these factors do not influence our editors' opinions or ratings, which are based on independent research and analysis. Our partners cannot
pay us to guarantee favorable reviews. Here is a list of our partners.

The Disney+ package deals may be ideal for families who currently use multiple streaming platforms and are looking to save money. Users who don’t mind watching commercials can save even more by opting for the bundles with ads.
As you’re thinking about how to fit streaming services into your monthly budget, consider the 50/30/20 budgeting framework. In this approach, your take-home income is divided into three buckets: 50% for needs, 30% for wants and 20% for savings and debt paydown beyond the minimums. Entertainment falls under the “wants” category.
Additionally, consider which movies and shows you'll be viewing most frequently when deciding if you want to sign up for Disney+ or another streaming service, such as Netflix and Peacock.
