How To Change Age Restrictions On Disney Plus

Ever stared blankly at your Disney Plus screen, realizing your carefully curated watchlist is locked tighter than Cinderella's slipper before the stroke of midnight?

It happens! Maybe your little cousin has upgraded from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to... well, something a bit more superhero-sized.

Profile Power-Up!

First, ditch the notion that you need a magic wand. Nope, no fairy godmother required.

Instead, you're going on a digital quest – a simple one, I promise! Head straight for the "Edit Profiles" section. It's usually lurking near the profile selection screen.

Think of it as giving each profile its own unique superpower.

Taming the Age Beast

Now, imagine you're a benevolent ruler, deciding which kingdoms (a.k.a. content) each profile can access. Find the profile you need to adjust.

Click that profile and find something related to "Parental Controls" or "Content Ratings." Disney Plus doesn't make it too obvious, you know, for security reasons.

This is where the magic... er, the simple selection process... happens. You’ll see a list of age ratings: TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, G, PG, PG-13, and so on.

Choose the highest rating that's appropriate for the profile's user. For instance, if your teen wants to watch all the Marvel movies (and who can blame them?), select PG-13 or even TV-14, depending on your comfort level.

Don't forget to save your changes! It's like confirming your spell, making it stick.

The PIN-tastic Protection

Consider adding a profile PIN. Think of it as a password to keep unwanted viewers from sneaking into the wrong profile and binging Bluey when they should be doing homework.

This is especially helpful if you have tiny humans with a knack for pressing buttons.

Setting a PIN is usually found within the same "Parental Controls" area. Write it down somewhere safe. Maybe on a sticky note hidden inside your remote control? (Just kidding… mostly.)

Content Filters: Not Just for Coffee

Did you know Disney Plus also offers content filters? These let you block specific movies or shows from a profile.

Perhaps your child has developed an irrational fear of a certain cartoon character? Or maybe you're trying to avoid that one tearjerker that always gets you.

You can add specific titles to a blocked list. It is a personalized shield against unwanted screen content.

The Unexpected Joy of Discovery

Changing age restrictions isn't just about keeping kids away from scary movies. It’s about opening up a whole new world of viewing possibilities.

Maybe you’ll rediscover a childhood favorite, or maybe your teen will finally appreciate that classic Disney animated movie you've been raving about.

It's a digital evolution, and who knows? You might even find yourself having a family movie night, all thanks to a few clicks and a little bit of profile management.

Just remember, with great streaming power comes great responsibility! Use your new profile power wisely, and may your viewing experience be filled with laughter, adventure, and maybe just a few happy tears.
