How To fix Disney Plus Error Code-36?


Fix 1: Check The Availability of Content In Your Location

Not all of the Disney Plus content is available for every country due to several reasons.

So whenever you receive this error make sure if that video is available in your location or not.

If you found that the content is not available in your country then you can try using a good VPN service to access the restricted content in your location.

But if in case the video title is available in your location but you are still receiving the error then you try the below-given suggestions.


Fix 2: Disable The VPN

VPNs are the best possible way to access restricted content in your location.

But not all VPNs can bypass the Disney Plus security and shows the error code.

If you are using a free VPN service then most of the time they are useless against Disney Plus security, and they can’t help you access restricted content. So our recommendation will be to use a good paid VPN service that can easily bypass the Disney Plus security.

Fix 3: Disable The Child Mode

Disney Plus provides an awesome function of Child/Kids mode, where you can restrict videos that you don’t want your child to see.

It filters out the videos and only serves your child what is suitable for them.

If you are watching Disney Plus while kids mode is still active then you will be served the videos as per Child mode and may show you the error code.

So check if child mode is enabled for Disney+ or not.

If child mode is enabled then disable it and check if the error code is gone or not.

  • Go to your Disney+ profile.
  • Then tap on Edit Profiles.
  • Go down and toggle Off the kid’s mode.

Fix 4: Contact Disney+ Support
