Junior Mode

Edit Profiles → choose the profile (not the primary one).
Under PARENTAL CONTROLS, toggle Junior Mode ON → Done.
Turn on Kid-Proof Exit so young kids can't hop to other profiles.

Junior Mode shows all-ages content only, with no ads. Ratings can't be adjusted inside it, and it shows no Hulu or ESPN content.

Hulu & ESPN inside Disney+

Hulu titles follow the profile's Disney+ content rating. Most ESPN content is not rated and can include mature commercials. Block it per profile by turning off "Allow titles without ratings like live sports, news, and more" (on by default for non-Junior profiles).

Profiles with an 18+ birthdate default to TV-MA.
