There's no doubt that Disney+ has one of the best treasure troves of legendary as well as new and hot movies and TV series of all the streaming services. But what happens when you've ripped through the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, been to that galaxy far, far away several times, and devoured all the Pixar films, all 34 seasons of The Simpsons, and everything else Disney+ has to offer. Now, you've decided that you're done. Or maybe you just want to save a little money for a bit.

Whatever your reasons are, if it's time to delete your Disney+ account, the process is relatively straightforward. Actually, the only thing that will make the steps different for each user is which devices you used to create a Disney+ account in the first place.

We've put together this guide to teach you how to cancel your Disney+ subscription, as well as your entire Disney account. Here's how.

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.

Subtitles deliver an easy way to know what's actually going on in a show or movie, even when it's in another language, or the dialog is so low you can barely hear the characters whispering back and forth. However, once that show has gone off you might be wondering exactly where the subtitle options are hidden in Netflix. While it isn't exactly the same process depending on which Netflix-supported device you're watching on, the streaming service does make it easy to figure out. Here's how to turn off Netflix subtitles on the most commonly used devices.

How to turn off subtitles on Disney+

Whether you turned on subtitles on Disney Plus to help your kids remember the words to their favorite songs, or you turned down the volume while watching the new Marvel movie so you didn't wake anyone up during naptime, you may not be sure how to turn them back off. While this can be frustrating, don't panic (and don't cancel your subscription!). Turning subtitles on and off is fairly simple once you know where the option is hiding.

Disney+ is the home of streaming for all things Disney, and includes both new original programming and their classic catalog. Thanks to their acquisitions over the last few years, it's also the streaming home of Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic. That means there is plenty here to love for what you pay for the streaming service. The closed captioning option makes it easier to understand what's being said on screen, and is a great tool for anyone with auditory processing issues, but it can get in the way for some viewers.
