Okay, we need to talk. Bluey is actually coming to Animal Kingdom this month and we're not emotionally ready. Starting May 26, we're getting Bluey's Wild World at Conservation Station, and it's sticking around past summer. Which is good, because we're gonna need multiple trips to process all of this.
How to Actually Get In (Because You Know It's Going to Be Wild)
Here's the deal. You'll need to join a virtual queue to see Bluey and Bingo, ride the Wildlife Express Train, check out Jumping Junction, or do any of the animal care stuff. No standby line at first, so don't just show up hoping for the best.
You've got two shots at the queue: 7 a.m. or 10 a.m. through the My Disney Experience app. For the 7 a.m. drop, you just need valid admission and a park reservation, and you can be sitting in your hotel room in pajamas. For the 10 a.m. slot, you actually need to be inside Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Oh, and don't forget: you have to take the Wildlife Express Train to get to Conservation Station. Grab it near Harambe Market in Africa.
What You're Actually Doing There
Once you're in, it's basically a giant playdate. Bluey and Bingo are there in person, and you're playing actual games from the show. We're talking Keepy Uppy, Magic Asparagus, the whole thing. And yeah, there's a bubble finale because of course there is.
While you're there, hop over to Jumping Junction to see real kangaroos and wallabies. It's educational but fun, you know? You can spot the difference: kangaroos are big, wallabies are basically half the size. Both are adorable. Both have joeys in pouches. We're going to cry.
There's also the regular Conservation Station stuff if you want to see vets working on animals or watch them prep meals at the Animal Nutrition Window. Plus new amphibian and reptile windows if you're into frogs and lizards.
The Important Stuff: Food and Shopping
You know we have to talk about the snacks. At Pizzafari, they're doing Fairy Bread Cake, which is apparently an Australian thing: vanilla birthday cake dipped in white chocolate with rainbow sprinkles and raspberry sauce. We're getting three.
There's also a Wackadoo Fruit Freeze (fruit punch based, obviously), Bluey's Berry Lemonade, and Pretzel's Pretzels at Isle of Java with blueberry-mustard sauce. Don't knock it till you try it.
And yes, there's merch. Hit up Island Mercantile or Conservation Station for tees, pullovers, and a rain jacket that looks adorable. Later this summer they're dropping create-your-own plush and headbands so you can basically become Bluey.
Don't Forget the Photos
Disney PhotoPass has three Magic Shots happening: one at the park entrance, and one by the Discovery River between Africa and Asia. You can pose with Grannies Janet and Rita, play butterfly Keepy Uppy with Flappy, or just straight up dance with Bluey and Bingo.
Bottom line: starting May 26, we're taking the train to Conservation Station and we're not leaving until we've played Keepy Uppy with a blue heeler. Who's coming with us?
