Disney+ review

Disney+ is the obvious second subscription for families, and its US plans page explains the choices clearly. The ad-supported plan costs $12.49 a month and the ad-free Premium plan costs $21.49, or $214.99 a year, which Disney says saves over 16% against paying monthly. The catalog covers Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic, and the app now includes a Hulu hub with a limited selection of Hulu titles and an ESPN hub with select live sports from ESPN Select. Disney also notes that ads are served in select live and linear content on all plans, so Premium is not entirely ad-free. The best value sits in the bundles. The Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads costs $12.99 a month, only 50 cents more than Disney+ alone, and a Disney+, Hulu and HBO Max bundle starts at $21.99. If your household would pay for two of those services anyway, the bundle is the cheaper way in.
