Bluey, the animated Australian sensation, is finding a home at Walt Disney World. The character will be found at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park starting in the summer of 2026, the company announced Tuesday.
Bluey, a Blue Heeler puppy, and her sister Bingo will be a part of DAK’s Conservation Station, the area reached via the Wildlife Express train. Visitors will play and dance with the characters there, and play games from the “Bluey” TV show with “a fun animal twist,” Disney says.
There will also be opportunities to encounter animals from Australia as part of the experience.
In addition, the characters will be involved in a stage experience at Disneyland in California. That park’s Fantasyland Theatre will be turned into Bluey’s school for her “best day ever.” The Disneyland Bluey experiences kick in on March 22.
Also in 2026, Bluey and Bingo, aimed at the preschooler audience, will be part of select cruises aboard the Disney Cruise Line, including the Disney Dream and Disney Wish ships. There will be a “Wakey Wakey” morning celebration as well as a cool-down evening round of Bluey and Bingo’s Pyjama Bash. Both ships sail from Florida ports, including Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale.
