The ad-free version of the Disney bundle, and the same footnote applies: Disney+ shows $17.99 a month, which holds for six months and then becomes $19.99 a month.
Run that out over a first year and you pay $227.88; run it out over a second and you pay $239.88. Both figures cover two services without ads, which is the arithmetic that makes this record interesting — buying an ad-free Disney+ and an ad-free Hulu separately is not something Disney’s own plan page offers you the chance to do.
There is no annual prepay here. The saving mechanism Disney uses is the six-month introductory term, not the year up front, and an introductory term is the kind of saving that ends without an email you will read.
