• Disney Plus has started implementing a paid account sharing feature, allowing US subscribers to add one extra member for an additional fee of $6.99/month on Basic and $9.99/month on Premium plans.
• Users outside a household can opt for their own subscriptions and transfer existing profiles, maintaining their watch history and settings, though some profiles cannot be transferred.
• Members can watch Disney Plus on supported devices when away from home by authenticating their location with a one-time passcode.
