Disney+ Deal Guide: Annual Ad-Free Savings, Military Discounts, More
Disney+ isn’t running any specific, limited-time promotions on its streaming tiers right now. What you can still tap into, though, are ongoing savings routes like an annual plan for the ad-free standalone tier, a military discount available through Exchange, and bundle perks offered through major partners. If you’re trying to time a deal, the most consistent window tends to be late November—especially around Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Disney+ currently isn’t listing any dedicated promotional discounts across its streaming subscriptions. Even so, the service does provide a military discount (details below) and it can also be bundled as a “perk” through select phone and internet plans. There’s also a short introductory option: a three-day free trial of Disney+ is available through Hulu + Live TV.
If your goal is to spend less on a Disney+ subscription right now, the most reliable approach is usually switching to a yearly plan or bundling Disney+ with other services you already want—such as Hulu or HBO Max. Bundles tend to be where the strongest day-to-day savings show up.
Save With Bundles
Bundling is one of the easiest ways to lower the total cost of multiple streaming subscriptions. Disney+ stands out here because it offers more bundle combinations than many competing services, including options that pair Disney+ with Hulu, HBO Max, and ESPN Unlimited.
Disney+ and Hulu
Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max
Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited Bundle
Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited Premium Bundle
For the biggest savings, start with the Disney+ and Hulu bundle. Pricing for that option is listed as $12.99 per month with ads or $19.99 per month ad-free. Compared to paying for the two services separately, the bundle is described as costing 50% less, and it’s also noted as being only $1 more than choosing either standalone plan on its own.
Next up is the Disney+ plus Hulu plus HBO Max bundle. It’s listed at $19.99 per month with ads or $29.99 per month ad-free, with a stated 40% discount relative to all three monthly subscriptions purchased individually.
Finally, the ESPN Unlimited bundle is outlined as a more expensive option: $35.99 per month with ads or $44.99 per month ad-free. The source claims this saves just over 30% compared to buying those services separately on a monthly basis.
16% Off Disney+ Premium Through Annual Plan
Disney+ only offers an annual plan for its ad-free standalone tier, which is Disney+ Premium. The annual price is listed at $189.99 per year. That’s presented as a $38 savings versus paying the standard monthly rate of $18.99 for the full 12-month period.
Disney+ Premium Annual Subscription
Student and Military Discounts
Disney+ doesn’t currently provide student discounts. That’s a clear difference from some other streamers, but in Disney+’s case, the available education-related savings route is not offered.
For service members, Disney+ does provide a military discount. Through Exchange, eligible U.S. military members and veterans can receive 25% off. Importantly, the discount is limited to the annual Disney+ Premium plan, meaning it can’t be applied to monthly renewals.
Disney+ Offered as a Verizon ‘Perk’
Verizon includes Disney+ as part of a bundle perk for customers. The offer described combines Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN (with ads), and it’s available for people on Verizon’s current portfolio of phone plans as well as Fios and 5G internet plans.
For eligible Verizon customers, the bundle price is listed as $9.99. The source text also indicates this is $2 less than the standard monthly plan price shown there, though the exact standard-price formatting appears garbled in the original content.
When to Expect the Next Disney+ Deal
If you’re waiting for the next likely discount, the source suggests the most probable time is around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Those dates are currently scheduled for the weekend of November 27.
For Cyber Monday in 2025 specifically, Disney+ offered 12 months of the Disney+ and Hulu bundle (with ads) at $4.99 per month. The source also notes that Disney+ rarely discounts its ad-free subscriptions and typically focuses deals on the annual Premium plan instead of monthly renewals.
