Let's take a look at how to cancel Disney Plus.

How do I cancel Disney Plus?

Disney often forms core memories for kids in childhood, and as an adult you may still enjoy the classics, which is one reason to keep Disney Plus around - and you also get all of the Marvel shows, Star Wars, and even The Walking Dead on Disney's service.

However, few things in life are free, and Disney Plus isn't one of them. So if you need to save some pennies, you might decide to give this subscription the chop, especially as Netflix, Hulu, Paramount Plus, and other competitors offer exclusive content you might prefer. So, if you don't think Disney Plus can be part of your world anymore, we can help. Sorry for all the puns.

Here's how to cancel Disney Plus:

  • Launch Disney Plus
  • Log in
  • Select your profile
  • Go to account
  • Tap Disney Plus subscription
  • Tap cancel subscription
  • Hit cancel subscription again

Can I pause my Disney Plus subscription?

The good news is that, yes, you can. If you can't make ends meet, or you're just not using it enough to justify the monthly purchase, you can freeze your account so that you don't lose your watch history. Only want it to watch Percy Jackson season two? Relatable. Here's how to pause your subscription until it's fully released.

  • Log in to your account through a computer or mobile browser - it won't work on the app
  • Select your profile
  • Select 'account'
  • Under 'subscription', find your subscription details
  • Click 'pause subscription' and select a duration (up to three months)
  • Confirm by pressing 'pause subscription'

Billing will stop immediately, provided you're-up to-date on current payments, and the subscription will automatically re-activate after the duration you set - be careful you don't forget.

Can I restore my Disney Plus account?

No, once you delete a Disney Plus account, you can't restore it, so you need to be absolutely certain before you pull the trigger. If you re-subscribe, the algorithm needs to learn your interests all over again, and you need to recreate your library.

Why are people cancelling their Disney Plus subscriptions?

You might've seen chatter online from people opting to cancel their Disney Plus subscriptions for political reasons - after the network canceled Jimmy Kimmel's talk show over some comments after Charlie Kirk's death, many decided to boycott the streaming service until Kimmel was no longer being censored.

Disney has now reinstated Jimmy Kimmel's show - but many people have not returned to their Disney Plus, whether that's because they're still hurt by the censorship, or because Disney doesn't offer them enough value.
