How to Create a Child Profile On Disney Plus
If you don't already have a profile set up for your kid, you can also create a child profile from scratch. You can make one for each of the children who will use your Disney Plus account, or a single child account for them to share.

How Do Disney Plus Parental Controls Work
Disney Plus parental controls are easy to access, but they aren't as robust as those offered by other streaming services. Each user of the app can have their own profile, and you can toggle any profile to only have access to child-appropriate content.
Issues With Disney Plus Parental Controls
The two potential issues with the parental controls provided by Disney Plus are you have no fine control over the content your kids have access to, and there is no system in place to keep your kids from simply switching over to an adult profile.

Some streaming services allow you to set specific restrictions or provide a number of options for different age ranges. For example, YouTube Kids includes options for preschool-aged children, early grade school-aged children, and middle school-aged children. Disney Plus only provides the simple toggle between a regular profile and a child profile.

Child profiles are limited to G-rated movies and television rated TV-Y, TV-Y7/Y7-FV, and TV-G. Additionally, some streaming services allow you to set a personal identification number (PIN). If your kid tries to switch to an adult profile on one of these services, they find they can't do so without knowing the PIN.

Disney Plus does not have any such system in place. Instead, you have to rely on an honor system and trust your kids won't switch to an adult profile.

That makes the service pretty safe for teens, but a younger child may end up finding content that's too scary, or you might find inappropriate, if they manually change profiles when you aren't looking. Was this page helpful?
