How to cancel your Disney Plus subscription

So 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 Plus 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 Plus 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.

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.

What is Peacock? Pricing, content, and how to get it, explained

For decades, television was dominated by network television. Cable networks expanded their offerings, but the emergence of streaming services has created a new era of television. Direct-to-consumer has become the medium's future, and having a single network or a few cable affiliates is no longer enough.

NBCUniversal used to partner with Hulu to meet its streaming needs. The company also launched Seeso, a short-lived streaming service primarily dedicated to comedy series. Now, NBCUniversal has Peacock, a streaming service launched in 2020 that aims to compete with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Paramount Plus, and other streaming giants.

It doesn't have a name. It doesn't have a launch date. (And if you already subscribe to a streaming service like YouTube TV, this really isn't for you anyway.) But the upcoming super sports streaming service that combines the sports you'd find from Disney (think ESPN and ABC), Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery now has someone in charge.
