Question

Disney+ email address change

I recently acquired a Google TV with a Disney+ feature. I tried logging in but was unsuccessful. I could still access the Disney stream on the Apple TV box. So I tried changing the email address on the Disney stream account to match the email address on the Google TV. Now the Disney stream doesn’t work on either the Google TV or Apple TV. 

I called Disney but they couldn’t find my account. I had the Disney stream included in a subscription bundle since June 2024.  Disney asked me to call Koodo to advise them and/or ask for a subscription ID. 
 

I called Koodo tonight. After an hour of trying with accessing the Disney account, I was transferred to a technician. After more than an hour of trying, I was told to contact Disney. The technician could see it was activated since June 2024 but it was never activated on the Disney end. 
 

The strangest issue was whenever I tried to login with the Disney app it would redirect me from the English to French Disney homepage. And from the French website it would ask me to choose a plan followed by the next page requiring credit card information.

The technician asked me to contact Disney to advise them my Koodo email address account is valid. He also gave me account number which probably wasn’t pertinent but might be. 
 

I contacted Disney again and told them what I learned. After trying the different email addresses again, they said they couldn’t find anything in their system. They asked for my date of birth, address, phone number and other household members information. I told them I didn’t submit that information so it was of no use to cross check. So then there was nothing they could do.  It would be up to Koodo to correct. 

It could be a computer glitch but Koodo would have to reactivate the account again. The technician said the price for the plan would likely change if that would be needed to rectify this issue. 

I’m looking for advice on how to proceed with dilemma. It seems Koodo and Disney cannot communicate with each other and I am suppose to resolve it by myself. I don’t understand why they cannot email or call each other.

 

Thanks

When you login to your self serve and go to your subscriptions, at the Disney+ area, does the button say launch or activate?

 

Do your other stream+ services work? Or did you only subscribe to Disney+?

Disney+ has the launch button since it was already activated and the subscription was accessible until a couple days ago.

The Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions are working fine.

You mentioned it was accessible few days ago, is there any chance you linked the Koodo subscription with a different email address in Disney+ Can you doublecheck?

Disney cannot find any email addresses that possibly linked to my Koodo subscription. The Koodo technician resubmitted my actual Koodo email address to Disney and yet Disney still cannot find it in their system. Disney placed the responsibility back onto Koodo to rectify a possible computer “glitch.” Try reestablishing the link as per their suggestion. There is nothing they can do on their end so Disney claimed.

Well, you could let Disney find it if you had provided personal details to them. I guess they had another searching tool based on the information to find out the details. 

Since you already contacted Koodo, I will flag a rep here to see if they had more information.

When my Disney+ stream account was activated, the only information provided to Disney was an email address. Nothing else was required. Now Disney is saying they don’t any other way of finding my account. I don’t exist in their system. Koodo says I exist in their system. Obviously there is a conflict but either side can’t rectify this situation since they don’t have the ability or means to communicate with one another. There is no direct phone number to either side only the online chat. The emphasis had always been on the customer to be responsible to convey the problems to either side. Trying to schedule a callback to have a three way conversation is next to impossible. Leaving the unresolved situation as status quo seems to be ideal for both parties.

Silly question, but have you tried to use the email you used to sign in on the Apple TV box initially when everything was working?  THat was the email you used to activate Disney+ right?  So it should still be working?

Hello ​@FortuneKookie We’re sorry to hear that the experience was less than ideal. We recommend that you complete the following support form in order for our dedicated team to look over the situation.

Disney+ no longer works on the Apple TV box since I changed the email address. Apple will no longer allow access to Disney through their portal and I’m to deal with Disney directly.

What happens when you change it back?

Have you tried to login to the previous email login?

Disney asks me to choose a stream plan when I log in  on the Disney Stream app. The page is French Canadian.

I spent numerous hours the past couple of days talking to both Koodo and Disney with no resolution. It would be less irritable if I am given an update on any progress. It is frustrating having to explain the problem over and over with each customer representative and technician without any type of solution. It is like being unaware of the problem therefore the problem is only mine.

The typical solution from Koodo is to cancel existing subscription and re-subscribe. However, it seems you didn't want to proceed due to promotion concerns? 

From your description, the email change at Disney plus might be the issue, it didn't link Koodo payment with your new Disney+? Honestly, I don't understand why Disney couldn't find your account.

Have you completed the form the rep mentioned above?


Form was completed. No response yet. 
 

In response to Dihn, canceling my existing subscription and opening the same subscription would be ideal for both parties. More revenue without any effort on their behalf and this issue resolves itself.

What is wrong is the inability for these two companies to communicate amongst themselves to fix a seemingly simple problem without having a paying customer act as a mediator.

However, as you mentioned, Koodo said they didn’t find any problem on their end and it worked until you changed the email at Disney? I would recommend you wait for the support team response.


Still waiting………..
