How to cancel Disney+

If Disney bills you, cancel in the Subscription section of your Disney+ Account page. It takes effect at the end of your current term, and you keep watching until then. When Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku or a TV provider bills you, you cancel with them instead.

Where you're billed decides where you cancel

Disney sells Disney+. So do Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku and any TV, broadband or mobile company that folded it into a package. Only one of them can stop the charge, and it's whichever one shows up on your statement. Disney says the same thing in its own help pages. "If you signed up for Disney+ through a third-party billing partner, the steps to cancel your subscription may vary. Please navigate to your billing partner's help center or contact them to learn more." So start on your statement rather than in the Disney+ app. When Netflix or Prime is on it too, how to cancel Netflix and how to cancel Amazon Prime pick up from there.

How to cancel Disney+ when Disney bills you

  1. Sign in at disneyplus.com or in the Disney+ app and open your Account page.
  2. Go to the Subscription section.
  3. Select your Disney+ subscription and follow the prompts through to the confirmation.

Disney puts no deadline on this. Subscribers "are able to cancel their subscription at any time, effective at the end of their current subscription term." You keep watching until then, and the exact date "varies depending on your plan and if you were billed monthly, annually, or are within another promotional period."

The Disney+ apps on some smart TVs and consoles don't offer account management at all. Use a browser or your phone.

You can change your mind, but only before the term ends. Disney will restart it if you ask "before the end of your subscription term", and you carry on without interruption. Once the term ends, the subscription is "fully canceled and not available for restart". You'd be signing up fresh at whatever the price is then. That window matters most when a streaming price increase is what pushed you out.

Cancel when Apple, Google or Amazon bills you

Disney sends you to the store that took the money: "If you currently pay for Disney+ through Apple, Google, or Amazon, you should go to Apple Support, Google Play Help, or Amazon Help for instructions on how to manage your subscription."

  • Apple. Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Disney+ → Cancel Subscription. Scroll down if the button isn't visible.
  • Google Play. Open your subscriptions, select Disney+, tap Cancel subscription and follow the instructions. Google confirms you keep access "for the time you've already paid".
  • Amazon. Disney+ is a Prime Video Channel there. Go to Manage Your Prime Video Channels, select Prime Video Channels, find Disney+ and select Cancel Channel.

The biller also decides whether you can change plan. If a partner bills you, Disney says "you may be directed to your partner site to manage your plan or payment". A store-billed subscription can't always be moved to a different tier from Disney's own account page. Disney's fix for store billing is blunt. Cancel the subscription you have, then sign up directly at DisneyPlus.com.

Cancel when a TV, broadband or mobile provider bills you

Pay-TV and telecoms companies in many markets fold Disney+ into their own plans, and Disney maintains separate help pages for partners including Verizon, Xfinity, Spectrum and Roku. When the charge sits inside a larger monthly bill, cancelling Disney+ means changing that plan, and only your provider can do that. It happens on their notice period. Disney can't remove it for you, and your next bill might still show it.

The bundle: what cancelling actually cancels

Bundles are how people end up paying for something they were sure they'd killed. A bundle is one subscription with one biller, but a service you bought separately is a separate subscription with its own account and its own cancel button.

  • If Disney bills your bundle, cancelling in the Disney+ Subscription section ends everything inside it on the same date.
  • You cancel a standalone Hulu in your Hulu account, and Hulu's rules mirror Disney's. Cancel during a free trial and it takes effect immediately. Otherwise access runs to the end of your billing cycle, and any Hulu add-ons stop at the end of the monthly billing cycle.
  • When Apple, Google or Amazon bills your Hulu, Hulu points you to the same three help centres Disney does. Cancel there, then sign up directly at Hulu.com if you want the bill to come from Hulu.

Someone cancels the Disney+ Hulu bundle, forgets the standalone service they signed up for two years earlier through a different app store, and keeps paying for it. Check both before you assume you're done. Then write the biller next to the name in whatever list you keep, or import a screenshot of your billing page with PRO.

Downgrade instead of cancelling

Want a smaller bill rather than no Disney+ at all? On your Account page select Change next to your subscription's name, choose the plan you want, select Continue, then agree to the subscriber terms and confirm. Disney emails a confirmation and updates the Account page.

Read the warning before you tap Change. Disney states that "by changing your plan, you will lose the benefit of any current promotion or price hold." A cheaper tier can cost you a locked-in rate you'll never get back. Do that arithmetic first.

After you cancel

At the end of your term the billing stops, and that's the only thing cancelling changes. In Disney's words, it "will not delete your Disney+ account or the MyDisney account you use for other services". Your profiles, watchlists and settings are untouched, and they'll still be there if you sign up again.

A bundle, its add-ons and the one you bought separately. That's what a list is for.
