You can add Hulu Plus Live TV to the Disney Bundle through your Disney+ account settings or by contacting Disney directly
The Disney Bundle comes in three versions: Disney+ alone, Disney+ with Hulu (ad-supported), or Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN+. If you have the basic bundle and want to upgrade to include Hulu Plus Live TV—which adds live channels, sports, and news to your Hulu subscription—you'll need to modify your bundle through your account or call Disney's support line. The process takes a few minutes and your billing updates when ready.
Hulu Plus Live TV is a paid add-on that costs extra beyond the bundle price. It includes over 75 live channels, cloud DVR storage, and the ability to stream on multiple devices at once. You can add it to an existing bundle without canceling and restarting your subscription.

Adding Hulu Plus Live TV through your Disney+ account online
Log into your Disney+ account on a web browser or the Disney+ app. Go to your Account settings—this is usually found by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner. Select "Manage Subscriptions" or "Billing" depending on your device.
Look for an option to upgrade your bundle or add Hulu Plus Live TV. Disney's interface shows your current plan and displays available add-ons. Select Hulu Plus Live TV and review the new monthly price. Confirm the upgrade, and your account will update when ready. You can start watching live TV within minutes on any device where you're signed into your Disney account.
If you don't see an upgrade option in your account settings, Disney may be directing you to call instead—this sometimes happens with older accounts or certain payment methods. In that case, use the phone method below.
Adding Hulu Plus Live TV by calling Disney support
Call Disney Bundle support at 1-855-DISNEY1 (1-855-347-3961). Have your account email and current payment method ready. A representative will confirm your current bundle, explain the Hulu Plus Live TV add-on cost, and process the upgrade over the phone.
The call usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. Your billing will update on your next scheduled payment date, and you'll receive a confirmation email with your new plan details. You can start using Hulu Plus Live TV when ready after the call ends, even though the charge won't appear until your next billing cycle.
What happens to your billing when you upgrade
Your Disney Bundle price stays the same. Hulu Plus Live TV is a separate monthly charge added on top of your current bundle cost. For example, if you pay $14.99 per month for Disney+ with Hulu (ad-supported), adding Hulu Plus Live TV will add approximately $75 to $85 per month, depending on current pricing and any promotions running at the time you upgrade.
Disney's pricing for Hulu Plus Live TV changes periodically, so the exact amount you'll pay may differ from what you see advertised elsewhere. Your confirmation email will show the exact new total before your first charge. You can cancel Hulu Plus Live TV at any time without affecting your Disney Bundle—you'll straightforward revert to your previous plan.
Switching from a standalone Hulu Plus Live TV subscription to the bundle
If you already subscribe to Hulu Plus Live TV separately, you may save money by combining it with the Disney Bundle. Contact Disney support at 1-855-347-3961 and ask about consolidating your subscriptions. A representative can calculate whether switching to the bundle saves you money and handle the transition.
When you consolidate, Disney will typically credit any remaining balance from your standalone Hulu subscription and start your new bundle on a fresh billing cycle. This process takes one phone call and usually completes within 24 hours. You won't lose any saved shows, preferences, or DVR recordings—they transfer to your bundled account automatically.
Troubleshooting if the upgrade won't process
If you see an error message when trying to upgrade online, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then log back into your account. If the problem persists, switch to a different browser or use the Disney+ app instead of the website.
If your payment method is declined, verify that your card or payment information is current and has not expired. Some older payment methods on file may not work with upgrades even if they work for regular billing. Update your payment information in your account settings and try again.
If you still can't upgrade after troubleshooting, call Disney support. Technical issues on their end sometimes require a representative to process the upgrade manually. This is not common, but it does happen, and support can resolve it in one call.
What you get with Hulu Plus Live TV in the bundle

Your Disney+ and ESPN+ access remains unchanged. You're straightforward adding the live TV component to your existing Hulu service. All three services stay on one bill and one login, so you don't manage separate accounts or subscriptions.
