How many different devices can watch Disney Plus at the same time?
Disney Plus is home to some of the best family-friendly movies and TV shows, but how many devices can be using your login at once?
From the classics to new releases, Disney Plus has thousands of options to choose from, including popular titles from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, National Geographic, Star and many more.
However, with so much choice, there's bound to be some disagreements about what to watch. While teenagers may be begging to put on The Mandalorian or Ahsoka, younger children certainly won't accept that over Moana or Bluey.
With that in mind, Disney Plus have come up with a clever solution; splitting the service across multiple devices. But just how many devices can you stream on simultaneously with just one Disney Plus account?
That's the question we're here to answer today, plus what devices are compatible with Disney Plus and whether or not the streaming service offers a family plan.
For more guidance on Disney Plus, take a look at our guide on how to set up Disney Plus parental controls and a breakdown of how much Disney Plus costs in the UK.

Parents rejoice! Disney Plus is offering four months’ subscription for just £1.99 a month this June, giving you unlimited access to a whole new world of movies, cartoons and TV series.

This deal will last from 11th to 30th June and encompasses all the latest family films like Snow White and Lilo and Stitch, not to mention tons of content from the worlds of Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar.
How many people can watch Disney Plus at once?
Disney Plus subscribers can stream across up to 4 devices at the same time, allowing simultaneous viewing on most smart TVs, tablets, smartphones, laptops and gaming devices. This depends on the plan you've signed up to - the Standard with Ads (£4.99 per month) and Standard plan (£8.99 per month) allow streaming on two devices, while Premium subscribers can stream on four devices at once (for £12.99 per month).
At the moment, new and returning customers can subscribe to the Disney Plus Standard With Ads tier for just £1.99 for the first four months. This deal is valid until 30th June 2025.
This means you could be binging the latest family drama from The Kardashians on one device, while the kids get stuck into the adventures of Bluey and family or watch their favourite Marvel superheroes save the world on another device, all at the same time – making it ideal for the whole family.

Does Disney Plus offer a family plan in the UK?
While Disney Plus doesn't exactly offer a family plan option, you can set up as many as 7 different profiles on one account. You can access these on up to 10 different devices and stream on 4 of the devices simultaneously, so you can watch at the same time as other users without disturbance.
This means each user can manage their own profile settings and can tailor their content to their interests and likes. Each profile will also receive personal recommendations based on their watch history.
Disney Plus also includes parental control features, which can be set up for each profile. This allows parents to set limits on what children are watching to ensure a safe experience.
All Disney Plus content has a rating to reflect the age recommendation and you can choose restrictions so it won’t show content higher than the profile’s rating when browsing. You can see how much Disney Plus costs compared to other streaming services here.
