Hulu and Disney+ just slashed prices to $4.99 a month.
This weekend’s cherry on top for budget-watchers: the ad-supported Hulu + Disney+ bundle is down to $4.99 per month for new and returning subscribers, a savings of about $8 off the regular promo price and the best bundle deal since Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The price cut runs through 11:59 AM ET on March 24, making it an unusually time-sensitive nudge for anyone who plans to watch the Oscars this weekend or wants a long shelf life of family and fandom content. The bundle unlocks Disney’s vault of Marvel, Star Wars, and animated fare alongside Hulu’s broad catalog, including current hits and older favorites, with the Oscars tipped to stream on the platform as part of the same promo window.
If you’re eyeing hardware to complement your viewing, Google is pitching in on the same wild weekend with a $60 discount on the Pixel Watch 4, pairing nicely with the streaming binge and any wearable wellness tracking you want to log while you’re glued to the sofa. It’s a reminder that this week isn’t just about content; it’s a bundled price play across both services and devices, designed to coax skippers back into the habit and new sign-ups alike.
From a consumer standpoint, the savings are straightforward: you get access to Hulu’s library of TV, movies, and originals plus Disney+’s catalog and recent releases for less than the price of one typical streaming month on a single service. Setup is explicitly simple—no extra hardware or apps to install beyond signing up on the bundle page. Expect a smooth activation on the platforms’ end, with streaming ready once your account is created and linked to your preferred devices. And yes, there will be ads in the ad-supported tier, which keeps the total price down but means occasional interruptions during your favorite shows.
Who should buy? The bundle is a clean win for households that already planned to use either service this year, especially if you’re Oscar-watching and want access to a broad slate of nominees and related content. It’s also attractive for families or roommates who want a single, lower-cost entry point to both catalogs without juggling separate logins. If you’re trying to avoid ads entirely or you don’t care for the Disney+/Hulu lineup, the savings evaporate quickly, and you’ll likely be better off with a different plan or a different service.
The obvious alternative is paying for Hulu and Disney+ separately at their standard rates—or opting for other streaming bundles or standalone services that might skew your viewing toward other catalogs. The promo price of $4.99 is compelling only within the window, so the real comparison is “how much do you value ad-supported access versus ad-free, and how soon do you need this content?”
Bottom line: Buy now if Oscar-week streaming, a broader back catalog, and a cheap price point matter to you—and you’re okay with ads. If ads aren’t acceptable, or you’re already locked into other services with your binge schedule, you might want to wait or pass. The Pixel Watch 4 discount adds a neat kicker for those who want a wearable companion for the weekend’s viewing and the upcoming weeks, but the headline value here remains the Hulu + Disney+ bundle at $4.99.
