How Account Linking Works
How Account Linking Works
In essence, the activation process links your current Disney+ account to your Smart TV.
Your MyDisney account is linked to your Disney+ login. Disney clarifies that different Disney-related services and experiences can be accessed using the same MyDisney email address and password.
This implies that each time you activate another compatible TV, you usually don't have to make a new Disney+ account.

You can create a Disney+ account via the official Disney website or a compatible device flow if you don't already have one. Disney claims that your MyDisney login is the email address and password you supplied when registering.

My Experience With Disney+ Smart TV Activation
My Experience With Disney+ Smart TV Activation
In my experience, the easiest approach is to keep the TV and phone/computer nearby before starting. The TV provides the temporary activation code, while the phone or computer handles account authentication.
The most common confusion is entering an old code after the TV has generated a new one. If that happens, reopening the Disney+ app and starting the login process again can provide a fresh code.
It's also helpful to confirm that you're signing in with the same email address associated with the Disney+ subscription.
