The short answer
DISNEY PLUS BURBANK is the Disney+ (or Disney bundle) subscription billed from Disney's Burbank headquarters. Price-tier changes and bundle restructures make the amount drift year to year.
Why it shows up like this
Disney bills directly with its HQ city in the descriptor. Households accumulate subscriptions through promos (a year free with a phone plan, for instance) that convert to paid when the promo lapses — often the real story behind a 'new' Disney charge.
Don’t recognize it? You might still
- A promo (phone carrier, credit card) expired and converted to direct billing.
- Bundle vs. standalone confusion — one household paying both.
- Annual plans renew a year later at a higher current price.
What to do, in order
- Check subscription details in the Disney+ account The account page shows plan, price, renewal date, and billing party (Disney vs. app store vs. carrier).
- Audit household streaming as a set Bundles overlap: if you pay for Hulu with ads and the Duo bundle, you're double-paying.
- Cancel before renewal for annual plans Annual renewals are refundable in some regions shortly after billing, but cancelling before the date is cleaner.
Quick questions
My carrier promo ended. Is that why I'm being charged now?
Very likely — 'free Disney+ with your plan' promos convert to direct billing when they expire, and the first direct charge is the surprise.
