Disney Plus lets you create up to seven profiles on a single account

A Disney Plus account comes with the ability to set up as many as seven separate profiles. Each profile has its own watch history, recommendations, and parental controls. This means one subscription can serve a household where different people watch different things, and the service keeps their viewing separate.

The seven-profile limit applies whether you pay for Disney Plus alone or as part of the Disney Bundle (which includes Hulu and ESPN+). You do not need to pay extra to add profiles beyond the first one — they are included with your subscription.

Key Takeaways

  • Disney Plus accounts support up to seven profiles at no additional cost, and each profile maintains its own watch history and recommendations.
  • You can set a profile as a Kids profile to enable parental controls that restrict content by rating.
  • Profiles are tied to the account itself, not to individual devices, so the same profile can be used on multiple devices.
  • Deleting a profile removes all of that profile's watch history and saved preferences, but does not affect other profiles on the account.
  • If you reach the seven-profile limit, you must delete an existing profile before creating a new one.

How to add a new profile to your account

Start by opening the Disney Plus app or website and signing in. Look for your account icon or profile picture, usually in the top right corner on a computer or in the menu on a phone or tablet. Select "Account" or "Settings" from that menu.

Find the option labeled "Profiles" or "Manage Profiles." You will see a list of your existing profiles and a button to add a new one — it often says "Create Profile" or shows a plus sign. Click or tap that button, then enter a name for the new profile. You can choose whether to make it a Kids profile (which applies content restrictions) or a regular profile. Once you confirm, the profile is ready to use when ready.

What each profile stores and remembers

Every profile keeps its own watch history, so when you switch to a different profile, you see only what that profile has watched. The service also tracks which shows and movies each profile has started but not finished, so you can resume from where you left off. Recommendations are personalized to each profile based on what it has watched.

Parental controls are set per profile. If you mark a profile as a Kids profile, you can restrict it to content rated G, PG, or TV-Y and TV-Y7, depending on the profile's age setting. A regular profile has no content restrictions unless you manually set them in the account settings.

Switching between profiles on different devices

Profiles are not tied to a specific device — they belong to the account. You can use the same profile on your phone, tablet, computer, or smart TV. When you sign in on any device with your Disney Plus account, you can select which profile you want to use.

If multiple people in your household watch at the same time, they each need to be on a different profile. Disney Plus allows simultaneous streams depending on your subscription plan. The Standard plan allows two streams at once; the Premium plan allows four. If a third person tries to watch while two streams are already active on a Standard plan, one of the existing streams will be interrupted.

Deleting a profile and what happens to its data

To delete a profile, go to your account settings and select "Manage Profiles." Find the profile you want to remove and look for a delete or remove option — this is often a trash icon or a menu with more options. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

Deleting a profile permanently removes that profile's watch history, saved shows, and recommendations. This action cannot be undone. The other profiles on your account are not affected. If you deleted a profile by mistake, you would need to create a new one and rebuild its watch history from scratch.

When you have hit the seven-profile limit

If you try to create an eighth profile, Disney Plus will tell you that you have reached the maximum. At that point, you must delete one of your existing profiles before you can add a new one. There is no way to increase the limit beyond seven, even if you upgrade your subscription plan.

If you have profiles you no longer use, deleting them frees up space for new ones. Some households delete old profiles for family members who have moved out or no longer watch Disney Plus, then create new profiles for guests or new household members.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have more than seven profiles if I pay for a higher subscription tier?

No. The seven-profile limit applies to all Disney Plus subscription plans — Standard, Premium, and the Disney Bundle. Paying more does not increase the number of profiles you can create.

What happens to a profile's watch history if I delete it?

All watch history, saved shows, and recommendations for that profile are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Other profiles on the account keep their own watch history intact.

Can two people watch on the same profile at the same time?

Yes, but it counts as one stream. If you are on a Standard plan and two people are already watching on different profiles, a third person cannot start watching until one of the first two stops, even if they use the same profile as one of them.

Do I need a separate email address to create a profile?

No. All profiles on an account use the same login email. Each profile is just a separate viewing space within that one account.

Can I rename a profile after I create it?

Yes. Go to your account settings, select "Manage Profiles," find the profile you want to rename, and look for an edit or settings option for that profile. You can change the name and other settings like the profile picture or content restrictions.
