There’s a NEW Disney+ perk that could change the streaming game.

For years now, a culture has developed around streaming services — including Disney+ — where people would subscribe to services when a series they wanted to watch was about to premiere — say, Agatha All Along — and then would unsubscribe when the series’ current run ended. However, Disney is now introducing a new feature that gives these types of subscribers another option.
Now, Disney+ subscribers will be able to pause their account until they want to reactivate it. According to Disney, the pause “will take effect on the first day of your next billing period, and you can continue streaming until then. Once the pause begins, you will not be charged and you will not have access to any content until the pause ends.”
To pause a Disney+ subscription, customers will need to:
- Log in to your Disney+ account through a computer or mobile browser
- Select your Profile
- Select Account
- Select their Disney+ subscription under Subscription
- Select Pause Subscription
- Choose the duration of the pause
- Select Pause Subscription
When the un-pause date is reached, your account will reactivate and a new billing cycle will begin. If you were to pause your subscription and wish to unpause earlier than initially planned, you can do so by selecting “Resume Subscription” on your Disney+ account management page. When you select this option, you will be billed immediately, starting a new billing period.

Of note, those who purchase the Disney Bundle will also see pauses on the other streaming services that are part of the bundle. In addition, the pause would also affect any “Extra Members” on the account. Said members will then “see a message when trying to stream content and can view the pause status in their account settings.”

If you’re the type of Disney+ subscriber who only wishes to use the service to watch new shows or films you can now do so without needing to cancel and launch a new account every season thanks to the new pause option. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney+ news.
