If you have an existing Disney+ subscription through another third-party provider, such as Roku or Google Play, thenyou'll need to manage one of your subscriptions in order to avoid being billed multiple times.

If you see what looks like a "double charge" from Disney on your credit card statement, it is usually one of two things: a temporary authorization hold or a split shipment. When you check into a Disney Resort, they place an "authorization hold" on your card for the remaining room balance plus a $100 buffer for incidentals. This isn't a final charge, but your bank will show it as "Pending," effectively "holding" that money so it can't be spent elsewhere. Once you check out, the final actual total is charged, and the hold should disappear within 3–7 business days. However, because both the hold and the final charge may appear simultaneously, it looks like you've been billed twice. Another common scenario occurs with the Disney Store; if you order multiple items and they ship from different warehouses, Disney will "authorize" the full amount initially but then finalize smaller charges as each box ships. This can clutter your statement with multiple "Disney" line items that eventually total the original price. Always wait for the "Pending" status to clear before worrying.
