Australian animation sensation Bluey has found a home at Walt Disney World. The character will appear at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park starting in the summer of 2026, the company announced Tuesday.
Blue heeler puppies Bluey and his sister Bingo will be part of DAK’s conservation station, which can be accessed by the Wildlife Express train. There, guests will play and dance with characters and play games from the TV show “Bluey” with a “fun animal twist,” Disney said.
You’ll also have the chance to meet Australian animals as part of your experience.
In addition, the characters will also participate in a stage experience at California’s Disneyland. The park’s Fantasyland Theater will be used as a school for Bluey’s “Best Day Ever.” The Disneyland Bluey Experience begins March 22nd.
Also in 2026, Bluey and Bingo for preschoolers will be included on select Disney Cruise Line cruises, including the Disney Dream and Disney Wish. In addition to the “Wakey Wakey” morning celebration, there will also be an evening cool-down round, Bluey and Bingo’s Pajama Bash. Both ships depart from Florida ports such as Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale.
