Bundle Activation Isn’t working for Disney plus and Hulu

I can’t seem to activate account for Disney and Hulu without having to pay even though it says included as a bundle. I already activated peacock which was simple, wish I could say the same for the Disney and Hulu. I have already tried every step xfinity offered and still nothing .

Still same issue today and appears this has been going on since mid-March according to the tech support agent. I told the agent Please no more hoops (think I have surpassed Stephen Curry on hoops) just please give me an eta. I was told they are working on it.  Reminds me of a saying in New Orleans It's fixed when it's done and it's done when it's fixed!   One would think that Xfinity would have corrected this by now.:(

So frustrating after spending two hours with tech support yesterday trying to activate my Disney plus Hulu subscription. Jumped through all there hoops only to be told it’s a known issue and should be fixed within a few hours. Needless to say same issue click the link for Disney wants me to sign up for a paid subscription. Same issue using the Disney app on Xfinity. On the Xfinity site it shows active.

I am having the same issue. I have been trying to activate for two weeks now, been back and forth between Xfinity and Disney chats. No help from either side. I’ve tried everything. Clearing cache, etc. I’ve done it over 100 times. Nothing works. Can’t believe I’m paying for this. Every time I try it loads in Disney plus from the Xfinity activation and says “Manage your subscription to complete account setup.”

disney tells me that Xfinity has not cleared my account through their system.

I hope this information will help others out there with the same Disney Plus Hulu issues.

Disney Plus Hulu appears to be working thanks to a three-way call yesterday between a Disney technician and Ray from Xfinity. Appears that you have to sign up for the $12.99 plan from Disney and it's covered by Xfinity. I hope Ray was correct and I do not see an additional charge on my account for Disney Plus Hulu.

As of this morning Disney Plus Hulu is working and no additional charges for the service has shown up on my account so far.

Thanks so much for this info since I have exactly the same problem with activation of Disney+/Hulu. I spend hours on the phone with both Disney and Xfinity a couple of weeks ago. Finally spoke with someone in Xfinity's tech dept who advised they just found out there was a system problem and that they were diligently working on fixing it - ETA was anywhere from a week to a month. She assured me they would make it up to the customers who were affected but nothing specific. No further info received from Xfinity and I plan to contact customer service shortly.

Thanks for reaching out @user_8dru9i! It sounds like there is an issue with the backend system that links the Disney+, Hulu bundle to the Xfinity account. As a step you can try right now:


If you haven’t already, please sign out of Disney+ and Hulu on all devices, then sign in to your Xfinity account here and click on “Activate” next to the subscription. If an activate option doesn’t appear next to the streaming service, your service may have already been activated. If you already have a Disney + or Hulu subscription, you should be able to enter your existing MyDisney email address and click Continue to follow the on-screen prompts. 


For more information, we have this dedicated article on the Disney+, Hulu Bundle here.

Generally, when an issue like this is impacting multiple accounts at the same time our engineering team has a ticket open. I am not currently seeing one of those tickets opened, so this many have been recently resolved.
