Recently, Disney has launched its first major streaming discount of the year, offering a Disney+ and Hulu bundle for just $9.99/month (ad-supported) for the first month which is down from the regular ~$12.99/month price. This limited-time promo is available only for the new and eligible returning subscribers in the U.S., and runs through February 17, 2026. This new bundle gives access to both Disney+ and Hulu direct-to-consumer libraries even including hit shows, originals, kids' favorites, movies, and much more which is all in one combined subscription.
The reduced price is a rare early-year discount, often used by streamers to attract subscribers in the competitive streaming wars landscape. After the promotional period, the plan automatically renews at the then-current regular price (about $12.99/month) unless canceled. Speaking of exact benefits, you get two major platforms for less than most single plans cost alone. You can access huge content libraries in both platforms and all devices and streaming options are enabled to watch content such as - TVs, phones, laptops, tablets, and consoles with one login. You don’t need a free trial (Disney+ no longer offers free trials as of Jan 2026), so this is one of the best entry bonuses available.
However, there are some limitations. Firstly, this offer is just for the first month. After that, the plan automatically renews at current price and this offer is ad-supported, meaning you will see commercials during streaming. So if you want ad-free viewing, you’d pay more or choose a different bundle. Secondly, users must be new or eligible returning subscribers, which means existing Disney+, Hulu or bundle users may not qualify. Thirdly, this offer has a deadline (Feb 17, 2026) and may not be extended. Lastly, this promo is currently only confirmed for U.S. customers and not for other countries.
Disney's $9.99 first-month Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads is a significant early 2026 streaming discount that delivers real value, especially for viewers who love both family-friendly content (Disney+) and diverse shows (Hulu). It's a smart way to access two major libraries under one subscription at a reduced price. However, we must keep in mind it's not a lifetime discount.
