What's on it?
Not completely sure of the full content, but it looks like most of the Disney catalog, the entire Marvel and Star Wars catalogs, every Simpsons ever, plus new Disney/Marvel/Star Wars shows. What I’m less certain about is the 20th Century Fox catalog, including FX shows like Sunny and Archer.

Not a bad deal at $7 a month. Cheaper than Netflix.

Oh, and National Geographic content, if you’re into that.

Forgot about that. I have Hulu live tv. Wonder if there’s a deal with that.

yep, you'll get a credit every month for $5.99. so basically getting Disney + for $1?

https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/yes-hul ... pn-bundle/
Before Disney+ launched today, we learned about a bundle deal for the ad-supported version of Hulu, ESPN+, and the new Disney+. At that time, there were a lot of questions about whether the bundle could be used with an ad-free Hulu or Hulu with live subscription. We now know that those plans can get a discount when bundling the three services.

Everyone subscribing to a Disney, ESPN, and Hulu bundle will need to sign up through the Disney+ website. Be sure to use the same email address associated with your Hulu account to sign up for Disney+ if you’re already a Hulu subscriber.

After signing up for Disney+, click on your profile. There, you’ll find a section labeled Subscription, where you’ll see a link labeled Switch to Disney Bundle. Click there and enter your billing information to switch to the bundle deal. When you click for more information for current Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscribers, you’ll find this message:

If you have an existing subscription with Disney+, Hulu, and/or ESPN+, you don’t need to cancel your subscription. The amount charged for the Disney bundle will be automatically adjusted to account for your subscription. We will email you a specific breakdown of your charges. If you purchased ESPN+ through an app store (app, Roku, etc.), you’ll need to link an ESPN account to your app store purchase. Please call Customer Service for assistance.

To learn more, call our Customer Service team at 888-905-7888 or visit the Disney+ Help Center for more information.

Those with a Hulu with Live or ad-free Hulu subscription will see their price adjusted in the billing section of their Hulu account. The adjustment will show a $5.99/month credit, the cost of an ad-supported Hulu subscription.

Followed the link and you have to pay for the bundle to get the deal, which is $12.99. The $4.99 or $5.99 is a discount off of that so you're paying $8 to add both Disney+ and ESPN+. I have no interest in ESPN+ so I'll probably just sign up separate if I do.

Looks like the bundle is 12.99 and they give you a credit of 5.99 on your bill...so basically pay $7 a month

Disney + price is $6.99; so it’s the same price either way in your case no matter what you choose; $7

So with the bundle you get espn + for the same price even if you don’t want it/use it

This makes the $6.99 per month totally worth it.

I had thought that, but this is from Disney+
You will need to sign up for the Disney bundle through Disney, using the email address associated with your existing Hulu subscription. When you sign up, you will have new Disney+ and ESPN+ accounts, along with your existing Hulu account. You will continue to be billed for your existing Hulu subscription as usual. You will continue to be billed by Hulu for your existing Hulu subscription, and so long as you keep your existing Hulu account, Disney will give you a credit towards your Disney bundle purchase in the amount of $5.99 per month (the value of the Hulu (ad supported) plan included in the Disney bundle).
So either

Hulu $5.99
Disney+ $6.99

or

Hulu $5.99
Disney+ bundle $12.99 - $5.99

That blog is now saying it's $4.99, which is odd. That would be more than the cost of the two separately, though ESPN would be thrown in there for basically $1 extra
