How to Use Disney Plus 8 digit Activation Code for Device Setup?

What is the Disney Plus 8-digit activation code? When you open Disney+ on a TV or streaming device for the first time, it displays a unique 8-digit code on screen. You enter this code at disneyplus.com/begin on your phone or computer to link your Disney+ account to that device — no need to type your password on your TV remote.

By following the correct steps, you can quickly link your device to your Disney+ account and start streaming without delays.

• Launch the Disney+ app on your device. If you haven't installed it yet, download it from your device's app store first — it's free to install. Then open the app and you'll see the welcome screen.

• On the login screen, select Log In. You'll be shown login options. Choose Use a Sign-In Code (sometimes shown as "Enter Code" or "Activate Device"). This is the easiest method — no keyboard needed on your TV.

• Your TV will display a unique 8-digit code on screen. This code is time-limited — it typically expires in 15 minutes. Write it down or keep your TV screen visible while you proceed to the next step on your phone or computer.

• Pick up your smartphone, tablet, or open a browser on your computer. Navigate to disneyplus.com/begin. Make sure you're already logged in to your Disney+ account — if not, you'll be prompted to sign in first.

• If you're not already logged in, enter your Disney+ email and password. If you're new to Disney+, create your account and subscribe to a plan first. Once signed in you'll be taken directly to the code entry screen.

• A code entry screen will appear. Carefully type in all 8 digits exactly as shown on your TV. Double-check each digit — the code is case-insensitive so you don't need to worry about uppercase or lowercase letters.

• After entering the code, a confirmation screen appears showing which device is being activated. Click Confirm to link your Disney+ account to the device. Your TV screen will automatically refresh within seconds.

• Your TV automatically refreshes and loads Disney+. Select your profile (or create a new one), and you're all set — start streaming Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic content instantly.

Where exactly do I enter the Disney Plus 8-digit activation code?

Open a browser on your phone or computer and go to disneyplus.com/begin. Sign in to your account and enter the 8-digit code shown on your TV screen to complete activation.

How long is the Disney+ activation code valid?

The 8-digit code is valid for approximately 15 minutes. If it expires before you complete activation, simply go back on your TV and select the option to generate a new code.

Can I use the same activation code on more than one device?

No. Each 8-digit code is unique to a single device and expires once used. To activate another device, open Disney+ on that device and follow the same steps to get a new code.

Why does my TV not refresh after I enter the code?

Sometimes the TV takes up to 30 seconds to detect the activation. If it still doesn't refresh, press the back button on your remote and reopen the Disney+ app. Your account should now be linked.

Do I need to be on the same Wi-Fi for activation to work?

No — your TV and the device you use to enter the code do not need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. The activation is linked through your Disney+ account, not your network.

How many devices can I activate on Disney Plus?

Disney+ allows you to stream on up to 4 devices simultaneously depending on your plan. You can activate and manage your devices at any time from your Disney+ account settings.
