This is the rarest thing on the streaming ledger: a price with a footnote attached to it. Disney+ advertises the Disney+ and Hulu bundle at $11.99 a month, and the double-dagger next to that figure resolves to for the first six months. After six months it is $12.99 a month.
A dollar is not a scandal. What matters is that Disney is the only company in this category that shows an introductory price at all, which makes it the only one whose renewal column can carry a number instead of a shrug.
The other thing worth knowing: on the day we checked, Disney’s plan picker would not sell you Disney+ on its own. Every tile on the page was a bundle. The cheapest route to Disney+ that Disney itself displays is this one, and it comes with Hulu whether that is what you wanted or not.
