NEW college student discount! 📺

College and grad students can now get the Disney+ and Hulu Bundle for $6.49/month, currently 50% off the regular $12.99/month price.

The bundle includes Disney+ and Hulu with ads, and the student price continues as long as eligibility is maintained and verified annually.

🎓 U.S. college and grad students, age 18+
✓ Verify student status through SheerID
✓ Available to eligible new and existing subscribers
✓ Must subscribe directly through Disney+ or Hulu

Important: Student status must be reverified each year. If eligibility isn’t successfully reverified, the subscription moves to the then-current regular bundle price.

Before signing up, check whether your student already has access through another membership or family plan. A discount is only a deal if they’ll actually use it!

Looking for a Disney+ student discount? See available student offers and discover movies, shows, sports and more to stream on Disney+.

The last load of blue bags for move-in #3. 💙

We unloaded everything at the curb, moved the car, and started hauling it all up to his apartment. And, of course, the elevator was out. So several trips up and down to the third floor it was.😅 If you know college move-in, you know.

And with that, all three kids are officially moved in for the year. ✅

This one feels a little different, though. It was my son’s **last** college move-in. Senior year. How did we get here already? 😭

It may seem a little quiet on the care package front, but there's plenty happening behind the scenes.

My first Halloween delivery arrived today, which means one of the most popular CarePaks 101 collections is officially starting to come together. 🎃

I'm still enjoying these last days of summer with my own college kids and will start rolling out new care packages at the beginning of September. I like to give students a little time to settle in first. Move-in is a great time to leave the homemade cookies, favorite snacks or a note tucked in a drawer. There will be plenty of time for care packages once the semester gets going.

Move-in #2 is officially underway! First things first: cleaning supplies, a vacuum and another trip with the cart. Here we go again. 😅

One move-in down.

No matter how many times we do this, there is still that strange mix of making lists, carrying boxes, solving little problems and then suddenly realizing it is time to leave.

College move-in days are a lot.

And just like that, it feels a little more like home. My daughter still needs to add a few finishing touches, but the big pieces are in place and she’s officially moved in. 😊

We try to keep dorm and apartment setups practical, comfortable and not overly complicated. The goal is a space they can actually live in, not just one that looks good for move-in photos.

The blank canvas. It never looks like much when you first walk in, but give us a few hours.

I always like taking a quick “before” photo because somehow we forget just how empty these rooms start out.

Next step: get it all from the car to the room. These move-in carts may not look glamorous, but they are worth their weight in gold on a college move-in day.

Anyone else become very protective of their cart once they get one? 😂
