Are you thinking about canceling your Disney Plus subscription but aren’t sure how to go about it?
Whether it’s due to budget reasons, not watching as much as you hoped, or simply wanting a break, canceling Disney Plus is straightforward if you know the steps.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process.
What Disney Plus subscription offers
Before canceling, it’s helpful to understand what your Disney Plus subscription offers. With thousands of movies and TV shows from Disney classics to Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic, you get ad-free streaming (except on select ad-supported plans), access across multiple devices, and the ability to create profiles with parental controls for the whole family.
Knowing these features can help you make an informed decision about canceling. If you value some of these benefits, you might consider a temporary pause instead of fully ending your subscription, ensuring you don’t miss out on content you enjoy.
Things to Know Before You Cancel
Before hitting the cancel button, consider these points:
-
Billing Cycle: Disney Plus charges monthly or annually. Canceling doesn’t usually give a prorated refund; you may still have access until the end of your billing period.
-
Account Data: Your watch history, preferences, and downloaded content may be lost after cancellation.
-
Third-Party Billing: If you subscribed through Apple, Google, Roku, or another service, you need to cancel through them; not directly through Disney Plus.
-
Promotions & Bundles: Check if your subscription is part of a bundle (like Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+). Canceling Disney Plus may affect your other services.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cancel Disney Plus on the Web
Canceling through the Disney Plus website is the most common method. Here’s how:

If you subscribed directly via the Disney Plus app on iOS or Android, follow these steps:
For iOS (iPhone/iPad)

Cancelling via Third-Party Services
Some users subscribe to Disney Plus through other platforms. Here’s what to do for common third-party services:
-
Apple (iTunes): Cancel through iPhone/iPad subscription settings.
-
Google Play: Cancel via Google Play subscriptions.
-
Roku: Use the Roku account page or the Roku device to cancel.
-
Amazon: Cancel through your Amazon Prime Video Channels subscription.
Important: Canceling through Disney Plus directly won’t affect these third-party subscriptions.
What Happens After You Cancel
After canceling your Disney Plus subscription, you can continue to access content until the end of your current billing cycle. Your account itself remains active, so you can restart your subscription anytime without losing your profile or settings.
Keep in mind that downloaded content may expire after cancellation, depending on your device and app version. Additionally, any promotional offers, bundles, or gift subscriptions could end immediately, so it’s important to review the specific terms before canceling.
