Before you cancel

💡Disney+ has no pause option — once cancelled, your watchlists and viewing progress are deleted after 30 days and cannot be restored if you resubscribe later.

💡Check whether you're mid-way through a Disney+ or Star original series before cancelling — you'll lose your continue-watching position if you resubscribe after the 30-day data window.

💡If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Channels, or Google Play, the Cancel button on the Disney+ website will be greyed out. You must cancel via those platforms directly.

What happens to your account

After cancellation

Your Disney+ account remains active and fully usable until the last day of your current billing period. After that you lose access to all content immediately. Your profile names, watchlists, and continue-watching data are kept for 30 days before being permanently deleted.

When billing stops

Disney+ stops billing you as soon as you confirm cancellation. You will not be charged again. There is no pro-rata refund for any unused days in the current billing period.

How to reactivate

To reactivate, return to disneyplus.com and choose a subscription plan. If it has been fewer than 30 days since your cancellation, your watchlists and viewing progress may still be available. After 30 days all profile data is permanently deleted and you start fresh.

Go to disneyplus.com and sign in with your original email and password

Click Subscribe on the homepage or account page

Select your preferred plan (Standard with Ads, Standard, or Premium)

Enter or confirm your payment details

Your watchlists and progress are restored automatically if you resubscribe within 30 days of cancellation
