I was able to pull up the pricing and I compared what I'm currently paying, or paid, it would be more. This is one of the reasons I don't want to go monthly, the annual plan is a better deal, at least when it's Disney only. My Disney plan is up in November. I'll check out the options then. I know there's also a plan in the works that includes Netflix and all three may finally be a better deal. With luck there might be a deal at this year's D23 Expo. When I originally signed up it was at a D23 Expo before Disney+ went live. I got a ridiculously good multiyear deal on it. But at the last Expo they didn't have any promotions. > But, like I said, you canNOT activate this on the Hulu side, only on the > Disney+ side.
