Chopping the Cord...But Not All the Wires: How to Ditch ESPN+ and Tango with the Disney Bundle Duo
Let's be honest, folks. We all have that one friend in the friend group. The one who loves sports. Every. Single. Weekend. They breathe sports statistics, live for highlight reels, and their idea of a good time is screaming at the TV during a penalty shootout. (We love you, Steve...but maybe a little less yelling next time?)
If that sounds familiar, and you're the one footing the bill for the Disney Bundle Trio that includes ESPN+, then this post is for you. Maybe you, like many of us, just don't have the burning desire to witness every dodgeball maneuver known to mankind. Fear not, fellow streamer! We can save a few bucks and still get our Disney and Hulu fix with the magical Disney Bundle Duo.
Here's how to cut the ESPN+ cord without severing your connection to the Mandalorian and all your favorite shows:
How To Switch From Hulu Trio To Duo |
The Great Subscription Shuffle
Tip: Bookmark this post to revisit later.
There are a couple of ways to make this switch, depending on who's currently pulling your streaming strings:
-
The Hulu Houdini: If you're billed directly by Hulu for your Disney Bundle Trio, then you're in luck! Head over to your account settings on the Hulu website and look for the "Manage Subscription" section. From there, you should be able to choose the Disney Bundle Duo plan. Be warned, adventurer! Switching plans might mean losing any promotional pricing you currently have.
-
The Disney+ Detour: If Disney+ is the mastermind behind your monthly bill, then you'll need to take a slightly different route. Unfortunately, you can't directly switch to the Duo plan from within Disney+. Fear not, travelers! You can cancel your current Disney Bundle Trio subscription and then sign up for the Duo plan directly through Hulu.
Pro Tip: No matter which path you choose, make sure you wait until the end of your current billing cycle before making any changes. You don't want to miss out on any of your favorite shows (or accidentally pay for two subscriptions at once)!
Congratulations! You've successfully downsized your streaming empire! Now you can use all those savings to, you know, buy actual cable ties to organize the tangled mess behind your TV.
