How to Cancel Disney Plus (Step-by-Step)

Updated · Standard formula, shown below

This guide walks you through canceling your Disney+ subscription on the website, on mobile, and through third-party billing like Apple or Amazon. You’ll keep access until the end of your current billing period, and you can restart anytime without losing your profile settings.

What You’ll Need

  • Your Disney+ login email and password
  • Access to the email account linked to Disney+ (for verification codes)
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, or another provider, you’ll need that account’s login too

Step-by-Step

  1. Decide how you subscribed. Check your bank or card statement for the charge. If it says “Disney+” or “Disney Plus,” you subscribed directly. If it says “Apple,” “Amazon,” “Google,” or “Roku,” you subscribed through that provider and must cancel there.
  2. For direct Disney+ subscriptions (web): Go to disneyplus.com and click Log In in the top right. Enter your email and password.
  3. Open Account settings. Hover over your profile icon (top right) and click Account. On mobile, tap the profile icon then tap Account.
  4. Find the billing section. Scroll down to the Subscription or Billing Details area. You’ll see your plan and a button that says Cancel Subscription (or Cancel). Click it.
  5. Confirm cancellation. Disney+ will ask why you’re leaving. Pick a reason or skip it. Then click Continue to Cancel and finally Cancel Subscription on the confirmation screen.
  6. Check your email. You’ll get a confirmation email. Keep it as proof. Your account stays active until the end of the paid period.

If you subscribed through Apple (iPhone/iPad):

  1. Open Settings on your device, tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions.
  2. Find Disney+ in the list and tap it, then tap Cancel Subscription (or Cancel Free Trial). Confirm when prompted.

If you subscribed through Amazon (Prime Video Channels):

  1. Go to amazon.com and log in. Hover over Account & Lists and select Memberships & Subscriptions.
  2. Find Disney+ and click Manage, then Cancel Channel. Confirm.

If you subscribed through Google Play (Android):

  1. Open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
  2. Tap Disney+ and then Cancel subscription. Follow the prompts.

If you subscribed through Roku:

  1. On your Roku remote, press Home, then go to Streaming Channels > Manage subscriptions (or on the web: my.roku.com > Manage subscriptions).
  2. Find Disney+ and select Cancel subscription.

Common Mistakes

  • Canceling the wrong account: If you have multiple Disney+ accounts (e.g., one for a friend), make sure you’re logged into the one you actually want to cancel.
  • Thinking you canceled when you only logged out: Logging out doesn’t cancel anything. You must go through the subscription cancellation flow.
  • Ignoring third-party billing: If you subscribed through Apple or Amazon, canceling on Disney’s website won’t stop the charges. You must cancel at the provider.
  • Missing the free trial cancellation deadline: If you’re on a free trial, cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged. The exact deadline is shown in your account.
  • Deleting the app instead of canceling: Removing the app from your device doesn’t cancel your subscription. You’ll still be billed.

Tips

  • Wait until the end of your billing period: You’ll keep access until the paid period ends, so there’s no need to cancel early if you want to keep watching.
  • Use the “Pause” feature (if available): Disney+ sometimes offers a pause option that lets you stop the subscription for up to 12 weeks without losing your profile. Check your account for this option before canceling.
  • Take note of your billing date: If you cancel a day before renewal, you still get the full month you paid for. Cancel right after a renewal to maximize your remaining time.
  • Keep your watchlist and profiles: If you cancel and later resubscribe, your profiles, watch history, and watchlist are usually saved for a period of time (often months).
  • Check for bundle deals: If you have a bundle with Hulu and ESPN+, canceling Disney+ might affect those too. Read the cancellation notice carefully.

Troubleshooting

  • You don’t see a “Cancel Subscription” button: You might be on a plan billed through a third party. Check your billing statement to see who charges you. If it’s not Disney+, cancel through that provider.
  • You get an error when trying to cancel: Try a different browser or clear your cache. If that fails, use the in-app cancellation (if you subscribed via app store) or contact Disney+ support.
  • You canceled but still got charged: Check the date of the charge. If it’s after the cancellation confirmation, contact your bank or the third-party provider. If you canceled through Apple, Apple handles the refund.
  • You can’t log in: Use the “Forgot Password” link on the login page. If you still can’t access the account, contact Disney+ support with the email you used.
  • You want to cancel but can’t find the account: If you signed up with a different email, try that email or use the account recovery option. Disney+ support can look up your account by payment method.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I lose access immediately after canceling?

No. You keep Disney+ until the end of the billing period you already paid for. For example, if you cancel on March 15 and your next renewal was March 20, you’ll have access until March 20.

Can I get a refund if I cancel early?

Disney+ generally does not offer prorated refunds. You’ll keep access for the remaining paid time, but you won’t get money back for unused days. Some third-party providers (like Apple) may have their own refund policies, but it’s not guaranteed.

Will I lose my watchlist and profiles if I cancel?

Usually not. Disney+ typically saves your profiles, watch history, and watchlist for a period after cancellation, so if you resubscribe later, your settings are still there. The exact retention period isn’t published, but it’s often several months.

Can I cancel Disney+ through the Disney+ app on my TV?

No. The TV apps (Roku, Fire TV, Smart TV) don’t have a cancellation option. You must use the website or the app store you subscribed through.

What happens if I subscribed through a Disney+ bundle (e.g., with Hulu)?

Canceling the bundle cancels all services in it. If you only want to drop Disney+ but keep Hulu, you’ll need to contact Disney+ support or manage the bundle through the provider (e.g., Hulu’s website).

Can I cancel by phone?

Disney+ does not offer phone cancellation. You must cancel online or through the app store. If you need help, you can contact support via chat on their website.
