How to create a kids profile and adjust parental controls on Disney Plus

From the likes of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to Woody and Buzz, kids of all ages have enjoyed watching Disney for decades, which is why Disney+ is a great resource for parents looking to entertain the whole family. However, not everything on Disney+ is appropriate for young children. Kids Profiles help filter shows that are safe for children, and they're easy to set up.

Can I adjust the level of content shown on a Kids Profile?

As it stands today, there isn't a way to get more granular controls over the type of content your child will have access to. Currently, the only way to filter the videos that are accessible by your child is by simply turning the Kids Profile toggle off or on. It is a bit surprising that there isn't a way to allow different levels of show ratings for a 5-year old versus a 10-year old. Perhaps this is something that Disney will add at a later date. For now, at least, there is some way to filter out the more grown-up shows like The Mandalorian with the Kids Profile option — I suppose it's better than nothing.
