How to cancel your Disney Plus subscription

How to cancel via iOS or iPadOS

Use these instructions if you signed up using the Disney+ app for Apple-branded devices.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iOS device. Then, select your Name/Apple ID.

Step 2: Choose Subscriptions.

Step 3: Select Disney+. Then, choose Cancel subscription.

After you cancel Disney+

You’ll be able to access Disney+ until your current subscription period ends.

Looking for a refund to your credit card? Unfortunately, Disney+ doesn't offer them for partially used billing services, but at least you won't see a cancellation fee.

Even after canceling, your overall Disney account (which the site creates when you sign up for Disney+ and is used across all of Disney’s websites) will still be active. There’s no problem with this account still existing, though you’ll still get promotional emails sent to it. If you want to cancel your Disney account altogether, do the following:

Step 1: Go to Disney’s Privacy Controls page.

Step 2: Sign in using the link under Manage your registration account.

Step 3: This page will allow you to change your notification preferences, like what emails you receive and how frequently you receive them. Or you can completely cancel your Disney account. 

Do note that deleting your Disney account won’t automatically cancel your Disney+ subscription, but it will make it impossible for you to log in to Disney+.

So if you’re trying to close out your entire Disney account, end your Disney+ subscription before you cancel your personal Disney account. Otherwise, you’re going to have to give Disney’s customer service department a call to sort things out. 

Now it's time to see what TV shows Netflix is currently offering.
