Bluey's Wild World Opens May 26 at Disney's Animal Kingdom — Everything You Need to Know
Bluey, Bingo, and the Heeler family arrive at Disney's Animal Kingdom on May 26 as Bluey's Wild World at Conservation Station opens with a virtual queue, alongside a new Jumping Junction kangaroo and wallaby habitat. The expansion also brings exclusive merchandise, Aussie-inspired food, and three new PhotoPass Magic Shots to the park.
Bluey and her little sister Bingo are crossing the pond — and the multiverse — to land at Disney's Animal Kingdom on May 26, when the brand-new Bluey's Wild World at Conservation Station opens as the marquee headliner of Walt Disney World's Cool KIDS' SUMMER lineup. The beloved Heeler family experience pairs an immersive Aussie-themed play space with a brand-new Jumping Junction habitat for kangaroos and wallabies, plus themed food, exclusive merchandise, and PhotoPass Magic Shots scattered across the park.
Key Details
- What: Bluey's Wild World at Conservation Station, Jumping Junction, themed food, merch, and Magic Shots
- When: Opening May 26, 2026 (running beyond summer)
- Where: Disney's Animal Kingdom — Conservation Station (via the Wildlife Express Train from Harambe Market)
- Access: Virtual queue via the My Disney Experience app — drops at 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.
How the Virtual Queue Works for Bluey's Wild World
When the experience opens on May 26, the only way to step inside Bluey's Wild World, ride the Wildlife Express Train, or explore Jumping Junction and the Animal Care offerings at Conservation Station will be through a virtual queue. Disney has confirmed a standby line is not part of the initial launch, though they expect to add one at a later date — so opening week is a virtual-queue-only affair.
Guests can join the virtual queue at one of two daily drop times through the My Disney Experience app:
- 7 a.m. drop — Requires valid Disney's Animal Kingdom admission (and a park reservation, if applicable). You do not have to be inside the park to request a slot.
- 10 a.m. drop — Requires valid Animal Kingdom admission, and you must be physically inside the park to request a spot.
This is the same virtual-queue framework Disney has used for marquee openings like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and TRON Lightcycle / Run — expect both drops to clear fast in the early weeks, so set alarms accordingly.
Bluey and Bingo Fun and Games at Conservation Station
Bluey's Wild World is designed as a playful, immersive walk-through experience timed to the show's distinctive sound design and music. Once Bluey and Bingo show up to play, guests are pulled into a tour of the Heeler family's most beloved made-up games — including Keepy Uppy and the magical transformation rituals of Magic Asparagus. The whole thing closes out with the unmistakable Bluey grand finale: a shower of bubbles and a chorus of "Wackadoo!" from kids who, two minutes ago, had never heard the word.
For families travelling with toddlers and grade-schoolers, this is almost certainly going to be the single most-requested stop in Animal Kingdom this summer. Plan tactical pixie-dust-level patience for the queue drops.
Animal Care Returns to Conservation Station
Conservation Station was always more than a backdrop, and the Bluey overlay brings the area's classic animal-care experiences back into the spotlight. Long-time Disney World fans will recognize the lineup:
- The Veterinary Treatment Room — peek inside the room where Animal Kingdom's residents receive medical care, including the occasional live procedure.
- The Animal Nutrition Window — watch the park's animal nutrition team prep specialized diets for the property's hundreds of species.
- The Amphibian, Reptile and Invertebrate Windows — meet frogs, lizards, and some of Animal Kingdom's smallest residents up close.
- The Science Center — see what the Disney Animals, Science and Environment team is actively researching.
See Kangaroos and Wallabies at Jumping Junction
Just a hop from Bluey's Wild World, the brand-new Jumping Junction habitat pays tribute to Bluey's Australian roots by introducing kangaroos and wallabies to Disney's Animal Kingdom in a single shared exhibit — the same kind of multi-species design Animal Kingdom has used so well in Pandora and Asia.
Did You Know? Marsupial Facts to Drop in the Queue
- Both kangaroos and wallabies are marsupials — their joeys keep developing in mom's pouch after birth.
- Size is the easiest way to tell them apart: kangaroos are bigger, wallabies are roughly half their size.
- Whether kangaroo or wallaby, a group of them is called a mob.
Where to Find Bluey Merchandise at Animal Kingdom
Two locations will carry the new Bluey merchandise collection: Island Mercantile on Discovery Island and the shop at Conservation Station. Some of the collection — including a Create-Your-Own plush and a plush headband range — is staggered for a later-in-summer drop.
Bluey and Bingo Youth Rain Jacket
Bluey and Bingo Youth Pullover
Bluey x Walt Disney World Youth T-Shirt
Bluey Adult Sweatshirt & T-Shirt
Bluey & Bingo Create Your Own Plush (later this summer)
Bluey & Bingo Plush Headbands (later this summer)
Conservation Station will also stock practical baby-care essentials — diapers, wipes, sunscreen, over-the-counter medications, and formula — a quietly thoughtful touch for the families this expansion is squarely aimed at.
Bluey-Inspired Food and Beverages Across the Park
The food and beverage lineup spreads across multiple Animal Kingdom locations, with the heaviest concentration at Pizzafari on Discovery Island. None of these items requires a virtual queue to grab.
Pizzafari, Discovery Island
The Fairy Bread Cake is the menu's clearest nod to Bluey's Australian setting: vanilla birthday cake dipped in white chocolate and rainbow sprinkles, served with a raspberry dipping sauce. (If you've never seen fairy bread, just know it's the bite that defines every Aussie kid's birthday party.)
The Wackadoo Fruit Freeze turns Bluey's favorite fruit salad bit into a frozen Simply Fruit Punch garnished with fresh fruit salad.
A new Bluey Sipper is also joining the lineup, sold with a fountain beverage. Heads up: limit two per person, per transaction, and they're available while supplies last — these are guaranteed to walk out the door fast in week one.
Bluey's Berry Lemonade blends frozen Minute Maid lemonade with blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry flavors. It's available at Pizzafari and also at Eight Spoon Café.
Isle of Java, Discovery Island
Over at Isle of Java, the snack to grab is Pretzel's Pretzels — soft mini pretzels served with house-made cheese and blueberry-mustard dipping sauces. The blueberry-mustard is the curveball worth ordering for.
Three Bluey Magic Shots from Disney PhotoPass
Disney PhotoPass is rolling out three brand-new Bluey Magic Shots, available at the entrance to Disney's Animal Kingdom and along the Discovery River path between Africa and Asia.
See Bluey at Disney World This Summer
Bluey's Wild World at Conservation Station opens May 26, 2026 as the headline addition to Cool KIDS' SUMMER at Walt Disney World Resort. The wider summer offer slate includes free dining plans, ticket deals, Resort hotel discounts, and special pricing for Florida Residents and Annual Passholders — meaning families specifically chasing the Heelers have a strong cluster of options to work with.
If you've got Bluey-obsessed kids at home, this is one of the most family-targeted launches Walt Disney World has rolled out in years — and the entire experience leans into what makes the show special: silly games, big imaginations, and the kind of unstructured play Animal Kingdom has long been the right home for.
