Update: Until September 20, new and returning subscribers only have to pay $1.99 per month for three months (or £1.99 if you're based in the UK). Although that doesn't include extras so can't really be labelled with Disney Plus bundles, it's a great offer that well worth considering if you're on the fence.

The best Disney Plus bundles allow you to save a whole lot on the House of Mouse's streaming service, and considering how many rivals are out there vying for our cash nowadays (not to mention the overabundance of tiers for each one), being able to claw back whatever we can get is always appreciated.

For example, one of the best Disney Plus bundles brings together Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus (with ads) for $12.99 per month (or $19.99p/m without ads). That's triple the amount of content for less than a Standard Full HD month of Netflix. It also gets you something for everyone; Disney excels at family-friendly options with Marvel and Star Wars, Hulu provides grown-up drama, and ESPN weighs in with more live sport than you'll know what to do with. It's certainly better value than the Disney Plus Basic deal, anyway.

Basically? You can get much better value for money if you know where to look. With that in mind, we've gathered up all of the best options in your area below. Because we've been monitoring Disney Plus bundles for years (since before the streaming service went live, in fact), we have a pretty good idea of what's worth your time... and how it compares to the normal price of Disney Plus.

Just be aware that this will all change before long. It's now been confirmed that the service's prices are going up in the US as of October 12, while the UK is getting a cheaper with-ads version and premium, 4K ad-free alternative from November 1.

Disney Plus bundles - US

Disney Plus (with ads) + Hulu (with ads)  | $9.99 per month

Disney Plus (with ads) + Hulu (with ads)  | $9.99 per month
Save $5.99 - If you want the least expensive Disney Plus bundle available, this is it. Although these versions of Disney and Hulu come with ads, it's almost $6 less than getting them separately. It's a lot cheaper than the offer without ads, too; that's $19.99 per month and includes ESPN as well. Unfortunately, there isn't an option with just ad-free Disney Plus and Hulu... yet. Happily, that option's due to land for $19.99p/m as of October 12 (and yes, the triple bundle with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN will be increasing in price to compensate).

Buy it if:
✅ You want the cheapest bundle
✅ You aren't bothered by ads

Don't buy it if:
❌ You hate ads
❌ You want sports as well

Disney Plus (with ads) + Hulu (with ads) + ESPN Plus (with ads) | $12.99 per month
Save $12.98 - This is by far and away the best Disney Plus bundle we've been able to find, and it remains unbeaten in terms of sheer value. Namely, Disney and Hulu cost $7.99p/m each while ESPN is $9.99 per month. That's a total of $25.97, making this much less painful on your bank balance. However, just be aware that the price for this bundle will be increasing from October 12. As of that date, you'll have to pay $14.99 per month.

Buy it if:
✅ You want best overall value
✅ You want something for everyone

Don't buy it if:
❌ You aren't a fan of ads
❌ You only want one or two of these

Disney Plus (no ads) + Hulu (no ads) +ESPN Plus (no ads) | $19.99 per month
Save $15.98 - In terms of the biggest saving, this wins without any sort of contest. Although it still combines Disney, Hulu, and ESPN into one package, they all come without ads so that you can avoid those pesky breaks. With the separate cost of all these setting you back $35.97 per month, that $20 Disney Plus bundle looks mighty fine. Just move quickly if you want it - as of October 12, the price is gradually rising to $24.99p/m.

Buy it if:
✅ You hate ads
✅ You want something for everyone

Don't buy it if:

❌ You don't want all the above
❌ You don't mind ads

It provides you with 12 months for the price of 10, and is the one we personally go for. If that tickles your fancy, make sure you strike before October 12 - the price will be increasing to $139.99 as of that date.

✅ You know you'll use it for a year

Want to get Disney Plus on its own and without any extras? No problem - you can pick up a rolling one-month subscription (with ads) for $1.99 per month so long as you're a new or returning subscriber that signs up before September 20. With the Disney Plus free trial has been axed, it's the next best option for those wanting to save cash.

Disney Plus + Star (monthly)| £1.99 per month (limited-time offer)

Disney Plus + Star (monthly)| £1.99 per month (limited-time offer)
Before we get carried away, a word of caution - although Disney lists Star as if it's a separate entity, it isn't. Well, not really. You'll find grown-up content like Grey's Anatomy or New Girl under the Star banner on the same streaming service, and it's provided free of charge regardless of which Disney Plus offer you get (if anything, it's more like a sub-category like Marvel or Star Wars is). However, because there's no ad tier in Britain right now, the overall cost of Disney is still very reasonable - particularly if you're a new or returning subscriber that signs up before September 20, at which point the price will go back to normal. And before you ask, no: there isn't a cheaper option for Disney Plus without Star.

Buy it if:
✅ You want the cheapest offer available
✅ You don't know if you'll use it long-term

Don't buy it if:
❌ You know you'll use it long term

Disney Plus bundles - FAQ

Are Disney Plus bundles worth it?

Despite costing a little more up front, Disney Plus bundles are much better value for money than other deals (so long as you're interested in the extras they provide, of course). That's because the add-ons fill a gap in Disney's own programming.

A good case-in-point would be the offer with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus (including ads) for $12.99 per month. While Disney knocks it out of the park with blockbuster entertainment for families, Hulu covers more mature content. ESPN then charges into the breach with sports. It's the perfect marriage; as we mentioned in our Disney Plus review, those are weak spots for the House of Mouse's streaming service, so it all balances out well.

The same is true of the UK's Disney Plus/Star mashup. Because Disney's offering is understandably more PG, the mature content provided by Star compliments it very nicely.

Is there a discount for Disney Plus bundles?

Although they're few in number, you can get discounts on Disney Plus bundles. Indeed, the Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus combo (with ads) for $12.99 per month saves you around $12.98 compared to buying them separately. It's a similar story with the no-ads version of the offer; you're getting $15.98 off in that case.

Meanwhile, the UK is able to save £47.94 on six months of Disney Plus with an O2 contract. Although it's not as good as the Hulu and ESPN bundle listed above, that's still pretty good overall.

Can you get Disney Plus without Star?

Unfortunately, there's no way of getting Disney Plus without Star (where the service's more grown-up dramas go) in the UK or Australia. That's because Star isn't actually a separate entity that's been bundled into Disney. Instead, it's a glorified content hub where shows like Grey's Anatomy or Family Guy live, and it's provided free of charge. Think of it like the Star Wars banner on the main menu that collects all of those movies into one place.
