Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my watchlist and profiles if my account is suspended?

Your data is preserved during a suspension. Watchlists, profiles, and viewing history are stored on Disney+ servers. Once your account is restored, everything will be as you left it.

How long does a Disney+ account suspension last?

Payment-related suspensions can be resolved immediately by updating your billing. Security-related suspensions are reviewed case by case by Disney+ support. Contacting support is the fastest path to restoration.

Can I create a new account if mine was suspended?

You can create a new account with a different email address. However, if your account was suspended for a terms violation, creating a new account may also violate the terms. Contacting support to resolve the original suspension is the better approach.
