Why did you sign up for a service without checking if you had access to it first? As noted, it is not available through X1. If you have a Smart TV, it might be available on that. Otherwise, you will need to use a 3rd party box like a Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, or Amazon Firestick.

Disney has not given the X1 box an App to use and nothing has been announced as in the works.
There is none. Disney+ is a subscription streaming service. There is no 'channel' for Disney+ or app on X1. You must use a separate streaming device and pay Disney a subscription fee (also, no more 7-day free preview.)
Seriously, no Disney Plus on Comcast Xfinity? I just assumed we could get it. Guess I'll have to watch Hamilton on the small screen. Do any other cable services in the area offer Disney Plus?
why does every single post about this topic get merged into a locked thread,
It's like they don't want any debate on this forum about this topic....

Other than an Amazon Prime subscription and accessing it that way, there’s presently no contract between Disney and Comcast (doubt there ever will be). The content through Amazon is different than accessing the Disney app directly on a mobile device.
How exactly via the Amazon Prime app on X1 do I access Disney + content?
My TV is NOT a smart TV. I don't have a roku stick or other streaming device. Can I sign up for Disney Plus and watch it on my TV?
What devices and platforms are supported by Disney+?

a Google search seems to show you have to subscribe through Amazon to the disney+ service to use it there. No one has reported their Disney+ works on the X1 nor Flex so far.
Hi there,
Disney+ is on the roadmap, thanks for your patience. The X1/Flex platform uses a Linux derivative called RDK as it’s operating system so it takes time to onboard apps. We’ve got Hulu, CBS All Access, Spotify and Sling up and running, while HBO Max, Disney+ are ones we'll want to eventually include.
If you have a chromecast or a chromecast supported tv, you can use all those apps and even Xfinity Stream to cast from your phone to your TV.
how come xfinity dose not have disney+ and when will they get it it not fair that i see it addvertise all the time but cant get it because xfinity dose not support it why

You can watch it if you have the new "Flex" device. Their answer to Roku and Firestick. But if you have one of those, you don't need the Flex device. I remember how long it took for Hulu to get on Xfinity. By the way, if you have Hulu, you an merge with it with Disney+ since they basically own Hulu. But you still need the Flex device. Just wait it will happen.
Yes XFinity did drop Starz which I was disappointed. On the bright side they did ad Hulu. I was waiting for that. You can get Disney+ if you have Hulu already. But I think you need their new device called "Flex". While you do pay for the devie like $5 a month, it is a free internet service. It is their answer to streaming devices like Roku or Firestick. And if you already have one of those you can watch Disney+.
As for when they will add Disney+, it is up to Disney. They already own a bunch of other channels. Disney doesn't have their own cable company so they will need to go beyond streaming from the internet devices and go to a wider platform to satisfy their viewers. I know a lot of people have Disney+ for this reason: Exclusive content like The Mandalorian and other great shows. I would jump at getting it now before they go on the XFinity platform, because they (Disney) will raise the price. Oh, and Comcast may raise their price too. For now, you can use the Roku, Firestick or stream it from your other internet devices. Most people have more updated tvs that allow casting from your device. XFinity has this feature now.
And now if you have Hulu you can get Disney+, but you have to have the Flex device. XFinity's answer to the problem, which is $5 a month for the device, but supposedly a free internet service. For now.
You need Disney+ for that. A different app for streaming you have to subscribe to.
Disney cannot force Xfinity to do anything. It's a negotiation for a contract.
I signed up for Disney Plus yesterday. I found out last night that Xfinity doesn't support the Disney Plus stream service. Do you plan to add Disney Plus in the feature? If so, when?
Back in July, a Comcast employee said:
Disney+ is on the roadmap ...
See https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/X1/Disney-Plus-App/m-p/3352864#M192131. I'm not aware of any later statements.
I have Amazon Prime Video. Could you please explain how I can access my Disney+ account through it? Thank you for the help!
As more and more Xfinity Susbscribers sign up for Disney+ the pressure will grow. They said it's on their roadmap.
I would also though like to hear an explanation how to access it from the Amazon App on the X1?
It is frustrating that the app isn't available yet. I have the same complaint with Peacock, that my (older) box won't support it and I don't want to swap out and lose all my DVR shows.
C'mon man:

As I said on 10/23/19:
Netflix is on Comcast equipment.
Amazon Prime Video is on Comcast equipment.
YouTube is on Comcast equipment.
Will only be a matter of time for Disney Plus. It’s essential to both Disney and Comcast that this happens. Online streaming is replacing cable and Comcast will do anything they can to keep their internet customers happy. The goal is to keep customers on Comcast equipment for everything. Look into Xfinity Flex. This is their response to Roku, Amazon Fire stick, etc.
Cable is dead.
