Disney Plus Student Discount: $6.49 Disney+ and Hulu Bundle in 2026

Eligible U.S. college and graduate students can currently get the Disney+, Hulu Student Bundle for $6.49 per month with ads, compared with $12.99 per month for the regular Disney+, Hulu Bundle with ads.

The student discount can continue throughout your eligible college enrollment as long as your student status remains verified. Disney requires annual re-verification through SheerID. If you do not successfully re-verify, the subscription rolls to the then-current regular Disney+, Hulu Bundle price.

The Current Disney Plus Student Discount Price

The current official student offer combines Disney+ and Hulu for $6.49 per month with ads, while the regular Disney+ and Hulu bundle costs $12.99 per month.

• Disney+ and Hulu Student Bundle: $6.49/month with ads and required student verification.
• Regular Disney+ and Hulu Bundle: $12.99/month with ads and no student verification requirement.
• Monthly Price Difference: $6.50, or about 50% compared with the regular bundle price.

For eligible students, the discount can remain active throughout their eligible college enrollment. Disney requires student status to be re-verified annually; if verification is not renewed successfully, the account moves to the then-current regular Disney+, Hulu Bundle price.

The Disney Plus and Hulu Student Bundle

The current offer is a direct Disney+ and Hulu student bundle rather than the old Hulu student-plan-plus-Disney-add-on route. It gives eligible college and graduate students both services with ads for $6.49 per month.

Current Price and Savings

1. Disney+ and Hulu Student Bundle: $6.49/month with ads
2. Regular Disney+ and Hulu Bundle: $12.99/month with ads
3. Monthly Price Difference: $6.50

Student Bundle Sign-Up Steps

The current Disney student offer uses SheerID verification and direct billing. Existing subscribers can also qualify, but their current billing arrangement and subscription type matter.

1. Check Eligibility: You must be a U.S. resident age 18 or older and enrolled at a U.S. university or an accredited post-secondary degree- or certificate-granting institution that meets the verification requirements.
2. Claim the Discount: Go through the official Disney+ student flow on a mobile or web browser and create or sign in to your account.
3. Verify with SheerID: Provide the requested school information and complete student verification. Student status must be re-verified annually to keep the discount.
4. Check Existing Billing: Current Disney+ subscribers must be billed directly by Disney+ to qualify. The offer is available through direct billing via Disney+ or Hulu. ESPN subscribers and subscribers to a bundle billed through HBO Max are not eligible.
5. Complete Purchase: Review the $6.49 Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads, add billing information, and submit the subscription.

Subscribers on an eligible six-month price-lock plan can redeem the student offer, but the discounted bundle takes effect only after the current six-month period ends.

Does Disney Plus Offer a Student Plan?

There is no standalone Disney+ student plan or student-priced Premium tier. The student discount applies only to the Disney+, Hulu Bundle with ads. If you change to a Premium plan or another bundle, the student discount does not apply.

For students who meet the eligibility requirements, the direct $6.49 monthly bundle is the primary official route. Student Beans and UNiDAYS can also surface Disney promotions, but those listings should be checked for their current duration, subscriber restrictions, and redemption terms.

Can Students Get Disney Plus Free?

Disney+ does not currently offer a free student membership or a standard U.S. free trial. Separate partner promotions may appear from time to time, but they should not be treated as a permanent student benefit. The separate guide to whether Disney Plus is free for students covers those broader promotion paths.

The paid student offer remains ad-supported; this guide to how ads work in Disney+ covers how that tier works.

Student Beans and UNiDAYS Offers

The stable official student offer remains the $6.49 Disney+ and Hulu student bundle, which can continue while student status remains eligible and is re-verified annually.

As of October 12, 2026, Student Beans lists a separate limited-time Disney+ and Hulu promotion for three months, with its own subscriber and expiration conditions. UNiDAYS currently lists the $6.49-per-month Disney+ and Hulu student bundle and separately shows a 12-month Disney+ discount under its offers-for-everyone section rather than as a dedicated annual student plan.

The direct Disney student bundle is therefore easier to compare as a long-term student price. Use Student Beans or UNiDAYS when their current short-term terms are more attractive for your situation, but check what the subscription becomes after the promotional period.

Offline Viewing: Student Bundle Limits and Desktop Local Files

The $6.49 student bundle does not include official Disney+ offline downloads because it includes Disney+ With Ads. Hulu downloads also require a Hulu Premium plan, so the Hulu With Ads portion of the student bundle does not provide Hulu offline downloads either.

If official mobile downloads are important, you need an eligible Premium/No Ads plan instead. Changing from the student bundle to a Premium bundle or another plan means the $6.49 student discount no longer applies. The guide to whether you can watch Disney Plus offline explains the official download workflow separately.

If you separately have authorized access and a local-file use case that is permitted by the applicable terms and law, KeepStreams for Disney Plus is a third-party desktop product. It is not a feature included with the Disney+ student bundle.

Tip: A paid subscription or student discount does not by itself create permission to make a separate local copy. Follow Disney+ terms, applicable law, and any relevant rights-holder permissions, and do not redistribute downloaded files.

KeepStreams for Disney Plus

Editor's Takeaways

For most eligible U.S. college and graduate students, the official $6.49 Disney+ and Hulu bundle is the clearest starting point. It costs $6.50 less per month than the regular $12.99 bundle and can remain discounted throughout eligible enrollment as long as student status is re-verified annually.

I would decide in this order: first, confirm that the ad-supported bundle fits your viewing habits; next, confirm SheerID eligibility and direct-billing requirements; then check whether the lack of official Disney+ and Hulu downloads on the student plan matters to you. Finally, compare any current Student Beans or UNiDAYS promotion with Disney's direct student offer before checkout.
