How to sign up for Disney+

Disney+ and Disney+ promotional offers are no longer available through Shaw. If you’ve signed up for a previous promotion, you can still activate it by linking your Disney+ account in My Shaw.

  • If you've ordered Disney+ from Shaw.ca or by contacting a Shaw agent, you will need to sign up for Disney+ and your Disney+ subscription charges will be included in your regular monthly Shaw invoice. See How To: Link your Shaw account to Disney+ for more information.
  • Subscribing to Disney+ from your TV set-top box, or through the Disney+ website or mobile app, means your subscription will be billed separately by Disney and will not appear on your Shaw bill.

Whether your subscription is on your Shaw bill or directly through Disney, you can manage your Disney+ account by going to www.disneyplus.com and logging in.
