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.

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.
