Tired of Commercial Breaks Ruining Your Kung Fu Movie Marathon? How to Upgrade Hulu (Without Calling Mom for Help) with Verizon!
Let's face it, folks, commercials are the ultimate buzzkill. You're settling in for an epic night of action-packed Jackie Chan classics, and BAM! Just as he's about to unleash the fury of a thousand roundhouse kicks, you're bombarded with used car salesmen and bargain bin yogurt. The horror!
But fear not, fellow Hulu viewer! There's a way to banish those pesky interruptions forever (well, at least until the next subscription upgrade). If you're a Verizon customer clinging to dear life (and your sanity) with their Disney Bundle, upgrading Hulu to the ad-free version is totally doable. Here's the lowdown, minus the technobabble.
Step 1: Accepting the Inevitable (a.k.a. Cancelling the Bundle)
Alright, so this might sting a little. Since Verizon groups your Disney Bundle services together, you'll have to temporarily say goodbye to the sweet, sweet bundle deal. Think of it as a brief vacation from Mickey and his pals. Head over to your My Verizon App and navigate to the mystical land of "Services & Perks". Find the Disney Bundle tile and with a heavy heart, click "Cancel Manage".
Step 2: Going Solo with Hulu (Don't Worry, It's Just Temporary)
QuickTip: A short pause boosts comprehension.
Now that you're a free agent (Hulu-wise, at least), it's time to set sail for commercial-free bliss. Hop on your favorite web browser and set course for the Hulu sign-up page. Create a spiffy new account (or use your existing login if you're a Hulu pro) and choose the glorious ad-free subscription. This is where the magic happens, folks. No more car commercials, no more bargain bin yogurt!
Step 3: The Grand Reunion (a.k.a. Re-Bundling with Verizon)
Alright, enough of this solo adventure! It's time to reunite the Disney gang. Head back to your My Verizon App and navigate to the Services & Perks section once more. This time, with newfound Hulu swagger, click on "View all Services" and find the one and only Disney Bundle. Click that bad boy like it owes you money, and voila! You're back in the bundle with the bonus of an ad-free Hulu experience.
Congratulations! You've successfully conquered the Verizon-Hulu upgrade beast and emerged victorious (and commercial-free)! Now you can finally enjoy those Jackie Chan movies in uninterrupted glory.
