Before delving into the how, understanding the why is essential. There could be myriad reasons for deciding to ditch a streaming service; temporary financial constraints, inadequate quality of service, needing to pause for a limited period, changing priorities, wanting to take advantage of “Black Friday” deals being offered for “New” subscribers, are just some of the many reasons. Regardless of your motivation, any subscription service, including Disney/Hulu, should provide a straightforward cancellation method, making it as easy to leave as it was to subscribe. However, cancelling isn’t always as easy. #How To: Cancel Your Disney/Hulu AccountDisney+ Hulu Howto CancelDisney CancelHulu
Today’s post will cover how to cancel your subscription for those with Disney+, Hulu, or the Disney/Hulu bundle.
Important Note: When Cancelling Any Streaming Service
Keep in mind that if you purchased anything (movies/TV shows) from your current streaming service, cancelling the service also means losing that purchase. Purchases on any streaming service tie the purchase to the account it was purchased under. Once you cancel, you are giving up your purchase, as there is no way to transfer or download a purchase from a streaming service.

Disney/Hulu operates on a ‘no refunds’ policy for partially used services; thus, you will retain access until the end of your billing period. Paying attention to the billing cycle helps avoid unnecessary charges debited for days past your termination date.
