DISNEY PLUS Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Disney launched its streaming platform Disney+, the company registered its merchant descriptor with payment processors using the simplified text format "DISNEY PLUS" because bank statement systems cannot display special characters like the "+" symbol in charge descriptions. The billing is handled through Disney's subscription management infrastructure, which converts the brand name into a plain-text identifier that complies with standard card network character limitations set by Visa and Mastercard. So if you see DISNEY PLUS on your statement and you subscribe to the Disney+ streaming service for access to Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, or National Geographic content, this is the expected and legitimate charge descriptor you should see each month.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Disney Plus. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
