Disney’s Animal Kingdom will introduce a new interactive area called Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station starting May 26, 2026. This addition brings characters from the Australian animated series Bluey to the park alongside live animals. The experience includes a virtual queue system, the Wildlife Express Train, and various interactive games. Guests can expect to see wallabies and kangaroos at a new location called Jumping Junction.
The new experience uses a virtual queue rather than a traditional standby line during its initial opening period. Visitors must secure a spot via the My Disney Experience app at 7 a.m. or 10 a.m. on the day of their visit. The 7 a.m. window requires valid admission and, if applicable, a theme park reservation for Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Guests do not need to be physically present inside the park to join the queue at this time. The 10 a.m. window requires valid admission but mandates that guests be physically inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom to request a boarding group. Disney plans to introduce a standby queue at a later date, though specific timing has not been announced.
To access the new Bluey area, guests must ride the Wildlife Express Train. The station for this train is located near Harambe Market in the Africa section of the park. Access to Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station, Jumping Junction, and the Animal Care experiences at Conservation Station all require this train ride. The train connects different parts of the park to facilitate movement between these new and existing attractions.
What to know
Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station offers an immersive experience featuring familiar songs and games from the show. Activities include Keepy Uppy and the Magic Asparagus segment. The experience concludes with a bubble shower finale. Guests can also interact with Bluey and Bingo during these fun-filled adventures.
Conservation Station retains several returning experiences for long-time fans. The Veterinary Treatment Room allows visitors to observe medical care procedures. The Animal Nutrition Window displays ingredients used to prepare meals for park animals. New viewing windows at the Amphibian, Reptile, and Invertebrate areas showcase frogs, lizards, and other small species. The Science Center continues to display current research projects from the Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment team.
Jumping Junction focuses on Australian wildlife education. This area features kangaroos and other animals native to Bluey’s home country. The experience aims to teach guests about the native fauna of Australia while providing entertainment.
Merchandise featuring Bluey will be available for purchase. Disney PhotoPass will offer Bluey magic shots for guests. Food and beverage options inspired by the show will also be introduced. Disney listed several Bluey-inspired food and beverage items, but pricing was not included in the source.
What is still unknown
Disney has not confirmed the exact date when a standby queue will become available for Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station. The source lists several Bluey-inspired menu items, but does not include pricing.
For park guests
Guests planning a visit should download the My Disney Experience app and check for virtual queue availability at 7 a.m. or 10 a.m. on the day of their trip. A theme park reservation for Disney’s Animal Kingdom is required for the 7 a.m. window if applicable. Visitors should ensure they have valid admission tickets before attempting to join the queue. If joining at 10 a.m., guests must enter the park before attempting to request a boarding group.
Shark Take: Plan to arrive early if you want to try for the 7 a.m. virtual queue drop. Remember that you can join the queue from your hotel or car, but you must be inside the park for the 10 a.m. drop. Do not forget to ride the Wildlife Express Train to access the new Bluey area.
