If you've encountered an issue with an expired Disney Plus activation code, don't worry—this is a common problem and can be easily fixed. An activation code typically expires after a short period, and you'll need to generate a new one to continue with the login or activation process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to do when your Disney Plus activation code expires.
Step 1: Close the Disney Plus App
If you're seeing an expired activation code on your TV or streaming device, the first thing you need to do is close the Disney Plus app.
- Close the App: On your device (Smart TV, Roku, Firestick, etc.), close the Disney Plus app completely.
- Reopen the App: Launch the Disney Plus app again to generate a new activation code.
Step 2: Recheck the Activation Code
Once you reopen the Disney Plus app, a new 8-digit activation code should appear on your screen.
- Note the New Code: Write down the new activation code or leave it visible on your screen for the next steps.
- Ensure the Code Is Visible: Keep the screen open until you enter the code into the Disney Plus website.
Step 3: Visit disneyplus.com/login/begin
Using a separate device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer, go to the official Disney Plus activation page.
- Open a Browser: Open any browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) on a secondary device.
- Go to disneyplus.com/login/begin: Type disneyplus.com/login/begin into the browser and press Enter.
Step 4: Enter Your Disney Plus Login Information
Now that you're on the activation page, you’ll need to log in to your Disney Plus account.
- Enter Your Email and Password: Input the email address and password associated with your Disney Plus account.
- Click Log In: Once your credentials are entered, click on Log In to proceed.
Step 5: Enter the New Activation Code
After logging into your Disney Plus account, you’ll be prompted to enter the new activation code.
- Enter the 8-Digit Code: Type in the new 8-digit code displayed on your device screen.
- Click Continue: Once the code is entered, click on Continue.
Step 6: Confirmation of Activation
If the code is entered correctly, you should receive a confirmation message on your device. Your Disney Plus account will be activated, and the app should refresh to grant you full access.
- Activation Success: A success message should appear, confirming that your Disney Plus account is now active.
- Start Streaming: Your Disney Plus app will now load your content, and you can start watching your favorite shows and movies.
Troubleshooting Tips if the Code Still Doesn't Work
If you’re still encountering issues after entering a new activation code, here are some tips to resolve the problem:
- Restart Your Device: Sometimes, restarting your device can solve activation issues and refresh the process.
- Generate a New Code: If the code still doesn’t work, close the Disney Plus app again and repeat the process to generate a new activation code.
- Check Your Subscription: Ensure that your Disney Plus subscription is active. If your subscription has expired, you may not be able to activate the service.
- Use a Different Browser: Sometimes browser issues can prevent the activation code from working. Try using a different browser on your secondary device.
