Disney’s popular streaming service offers a robust library. It ranges from classic animated films and exclusive Marvel content like the new "Wonder Man" series to hit shows like "The Simpsons."
But just how much does Disney+ cost? It starts at $11.99 a month.
How much does a Disney+ subscription cost per month?
The final cost of Disney+ depends on whether you’re willing to put up with ads.
The ad-supported plan is $11.99 a month. The ad-free Premium plan costs $18.99 a month or $189.99 a year.
That said, Disney+ offers some of the most flexible package deals of any streaming platform. Users can bundle Disney+ with other streaming services for enhanced savings and a larger content menu. Packages include:
- Disney+ (with ads) and Hulu (with ads): $12.99 a month.
- Disney+ (with ads), Hulu (with ads) and ESPN Select (with ads): $19.99 a month.
- Disney+ (ad-free) and Hulu (ad-free): $19.99 a month.

Some existing subscribers have the “legacy” bundle for $24.99 a month, which combines Disney+ (ad-free), Hulu (with ads) and ESPN Select (with ads). This plan is no longer available for new subscribers.

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.
