Keeping Disney+ Safe for Kids
As Disney expands its consumer programming lineup, Disney+ has become increasingly crowded, featuring a mix of Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu, and ESPN content. Not all of that is suited for young eyes.
To keep little ones safe, be sure to leverage Disney+ profiles. Setting up a unique profile for each user allows them to have individual watch lists and recommendations. For preschoolers, you can enable “Junior Mode,” which changes the home screen to display only age-appropriate content — including Mickey Mouse, Princess & Fairy Tales, Disney Jr., Heroes, Action Adventure, and Nature categories — with no Hulu or ESPN content mixed in.
While Sam’s Disney Diary often highlights what’s new across Disney+, this blog focuses specifically on Disney Jr. premieres designed for preschoolers.
