If you subscribe to Disney+ through Shaw, you will need to activate your Shaw Disney+ subscription by linking it to a new or existing Disney+ account. Follow the steps below to link your accounts so you can begin enjoying Disney+ with Shaw.
Note: If you already have a Disney+ subscription billed by Disney+, your billing with Disney+ will automatically pause after you’ve linked your subscription with your Shaw account through My Shaw.
