If you&#8217;re old school (like me) and subscribe to Disney+ and Hulu separately, you can also start viewing Hulu content easily (assuming you&#8217;re using the same e-mail address for both services).<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-iframe-wrapper\" data-embed-anchor=\"0c353a3b-1e96-5996-8bfb-6afa6c274c00\">\n<div class=\"caas-iframe youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:56%\" data-type=\"youtube\">\n<blockquote data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T0c5xc7hRQU?rel=0\" scrolling=\"no\"><p><noscript><iframe title=\"We&#039;re Going To Be Friends | Hulu on Disney+ | Disney Bundle\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T0c5xc7hRQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t have any trouble launching Shogun on my Disney+ app, but I was disappointed to find that my existing Hulu viewing progress didn&#8217;t carry over.
