You could always reset your password by logging in to your account yourself. Much safer.
Went ahead and clicked the link, brought me to what looks like a legit site...of course I didn’t actually reset my password.

Closed the screen out and then hit the link again and it says it’s now an expired link.

I’m beginning to think it actually is legit....I’m going to log into it myself not through the link and go ahead and reset it. Though there isn’t much they can do, I’m not paying for Disney plus, I got it free through Verizon so there is no payment info in Disney‘s account.

It probably is a scam. But if you are that worried log into your account manually (without using that button) like on the actually site. Then change your password there. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT click on that link.

Scam email.
I get similar emails(a different account). I call the company directly and have them check my account. I also send them the email and they verify it’s not from them and a scam. They advised to never click the link.

Just because they can spell does not mean they aren't scamming you. I don't see the connection there. If your account works fine, ignore the email and do not click the link.

If you 'view source' on your email you can see where the email originated. If it didn't originate from the disney site, then it's not an official disney email.

Always check the actual email address attached. It will be easy to tell if it is legit or not. I get crap like that all the time from apple, etc and they are always scams. I just delete them. Don't respond..flag it and delete it.
