Cannot activate DisneyPlus

Like many others, unable to activate following the link, Xfinity customer service has been utterly useless and I don’t have the direct message icon on the forums to try to directly message support… Anyone have any idea how to get a hold of someone to fix this issue?

Hi there @user_im1r2u Thank you so much for reaching out on our Xfinity Community Forum about issues with activating DisneyPlus.  I'll be happy to assist. Can you confirm the link that you are trying to follow?  Is it the link that was sent to your email?  Please let me know if the link posted below is helpful.  It gives an overview of how to activate the service.

It’s not helpful at all. The link I attempted to use was the one that was emailed.

@user_im1r2u   Are you receiving an error message when attempting to click the link in your email?  If so, can you confirm the error message?

I am experiencing the same issue everyone on the forums is experiencing. Clicking the activation link that was emailed to us, texted OR available via xfinity results in the following:

  • Successful Disneyplus sign in, but then a screen to PURCHASE a plan.
  • Message stating you are trying to manage service using an existing account and that you have to wait until the billing cycle ends

Attempting to delete said account (that hasn’t had an active subscription in months) gets a “log-in error” on the DisneyPlus sign in screen.

Then Xfinity recommends using your Comcast email… xfinity broke that and doesn’t allow users to access their email page and brings them to a support page, thus not allowing that recommendation to work.

This is what happens when huge companies stop giving a [Edited: "Language"] to invest in things to make their service actually work since they have a monopoly on screw over customers.

[Edited: "Language/Solicitation"] They are billing customers and claiming to offer a service and providing no support to fix a very known issue.
