To activate Disney+ on your TV, you will use an 8-digit code to link the device to your account. This process requires using both your TV and a separate device with a web browser, like a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Before You Start

First, ensure you have an active Disney+ subscription. If you don’t have one, you need to create an account and choose a subscription plan on the Disney+ website. You will also need to download and install the Disney+ app on your smart TV or streaming device. The app is available in the app store on most modern devices.

Activating Disney+ with an 8-Digit Code

Follow these steps to get Disney+ running on your TV.

1. Open the Disney+ App on Your TV

Turn on your smart TV or streaming device and launch the Disney+ app. If you have not signed in on this device before, you will be prompted to log in.

2. Get Your 8-Digit Code

Select the option to log in. Instead of asking for your email and password directly on the TV, the app will display an 8-digit code on the screen. This code is temporary, so proceed to the next step without a long delay.

3. Visit the Activation Website

On a separate device, such as your phone or computer, open a web browser. Navigate to disneyplus.com/begin. This is the specific web page for activating new devices.

4. Log In to Your Disney+ Account

If you are not already logged into Disney+ on that browser, the site will ask for your account credentials. Enter the email address and password associated with your Disney+ subscription to proceed.

5. Enter the Activation Code

The webpage will now prompt you to enter the code from your TV screen. Carefully type the 8-digit code into the provided field and click “Continue”.

6. Start Watching

Once you enter the correct code, your TV screen will automatically refresh. The Disney+ app will log you in, giving you full access to the content library. You can now start streaming movies and shows on your TV.

This activation method works for a wide range of devices, including :

• Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Vizio, Hisense, Panasonic)
• Android TV and Google TV
• Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick
• Apple TV
• Roku devices
• Gaming consoles like PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S

The primary benefit of this system is that it saves you from the inconvenience of typing a long password using a TV remote. It also provides a secure way to link your account to a new device. If you enter the code incorrectly or it expires, simply go back on your TV to generate a new one.

FAQs

What happens if my 8-digit code doesn’t work?

If the activation code isn’t working, it may have expired. The codes are temporary for security reasons. To fix this, simply close and reopen the Disney+ app on your TV to generate a new code. Also, double-check that you are entering the code correctly on the activation page.

Why am I being asked to pay again?

This can happen if you are trying to activate a bundled subscription (like from a TV or mobile provider) but you’re logged into the wrong account or there’s a system error. If you’ve already paid or the subscription is part of a package, do not enter your payment details again. Instead, contact customer support for either Disney+ or your service provider to resolve the issue.

What should I do if I get an error page or a blank screen?

If you see a “Service Unavailable” error or a blank page, there are a few things you can try :

• Clear your browser’s cache and cookies.
• Turn off any ad blockers or pop-up blockers.
• Use an incognito or private browsing window.

Sometimes, the issue is on the service provider’s end, and you may need to contact them for help.

What if I already have a Disney+ subscription?

If you already have a Disney+ account, you might run into problems when activating a new subscription through a bundle (e.g., with Hulu or a mobile provider like Verizon). The most common fix is to ensure the email address for both services is the same. In some cases, you may need to change the email address on your old account to free it up for the new bundled service
