Guide to Bluey's Wild World

Bluey’s Wild World is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom on May 26, 2026, and Disney has now released the full breakdown of everything involved — virtual queue details, games, food, merchandise, and PhotoPass Magic Shots. This experience is part of Cool Kids’ Summer at Walt Disney World and is confirmed to stay beyond the summer. Here is your complete guide to everything you need to know before you go.

Quick Summary

  • Bluey’s Wild World opens May 26 at Conservation Station (Rafiki’s Planet Watch), part of Cool Kids’ Summer and staying beyond summer 2026
  • Virtual queue only at launch — join at 7am (no park entry required) or 10am (must be inside Animal Kingdom) via My Disney Experience
  • Games include Keepy Uppy and Magic Asparagus with animal twists, music and dancing, and a bubble shower finale with Bluey and Bingo
  • Jumping Junction features kangaroos and wallabies, replacing the former Affection Section petting zoo
  • Bluey-themed food at Pizzafari and Isle of Java on Discovery Island, including Fairy Bread Cake and Bluey’s Berry Lemonade
  • Merchandise available at Island Mercantile and Conservation Station; more items arrive later this summer
  • Three Bluey PhotoPass Magic Shots available at two locations inside the park

How to Get In: Virtual Queue Details

Bluey’s Wild World launches with a virtual queue only — no standby option will be available on opening day or in the near term. The virtual queue covers the entire Rafiki’s Planet Watch area, including the Wildlife Express Train, Jumping Junction, and the Animal Care experiences at Conservation Station.

You request a boarding group in the My Disney Experience app at one of two daily drop times. At 7am, valid admission and a park reservation (if applicable) are required, but you do not need to be physically inside the park. At 10am, you must be inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Each guest can join once per day. Get to the Wildlife Express Train station near Harambe Market in Africa once your group is called — and remember that only folding strollers are allowed on the train.

The Games and Characters

The experience features interactive games inspired by Bluey episodes with animal-themed twists — including Keepy Uppy and Magic Asparagus. Music and dancing run throughout, and the whole session wraps up with a bubble shower finale featuring Bluey and Bingo themselves. P.A.C.K. team host actors (Playful Animal Crew for Kids) lead guests through all the activities.

Jumping Junction sits outside Conservation Station and now showcases kangaroos and wallabies in a shared habitat — a direct tie to Bluey’s Australian origins. It replaces the former Affection Section petting zoo with a more thematically consistent animal experience.

Bluey-Themed Food and Drinks

Bluey-themed food is available across Disney’s Animal Kingdom — you do not need to be in the virtual queue to get to most of it, since the main offerings are on Discovery Island.

At Pizzafari: the Fairy Bread Cake is a vanilla birthday cake dipped in white chocolate and rainbow sprinkles with a raspberry dipping sauce. The Wackadoo Fruit Freeze is a frozen Simply Fruit Punch garnished with fruit salad. Bluey’s Berry Lemonade blends frozen Minute Maid Lemonade with blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry. There is also the Bluey Sipper, a super-sized souvenir cup sold with a fountain beverage, limited to two per person per transaction.

At Isle of Java: Pretzel’s Pretzels — soft mini pretzels served with homemade cheese and blueberry-mustard dipping sauces. Bluey’s Berry Lemonade is also available here and at Eight Spoon Cafe.

Merchandise

Bluey merchandise is available at Island Mercantile on Discovery Island and at Conservation Station. Current items include youth and adult apparel featuring Bluey and Bingo — a rain jacket, grey pullover, and a blue Walt Disney World logo tee. Basic baby care items including diapers, wipes, sunscreen, and formula are also available for purchase at Conservation Station.

Later this summer, two additional items arrive: a Bluey and Bingo Create Your Own plush and Bluey and Bingo plush headbands. Worth checking back on those if you are planning a return trip.

PhotoPass Magic Shots

Disney PhotoPass photographers will offer three Bluey Magic Shots at two locations inside the park — the entrance to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and on the pathway between Africa and Asia next to the Discovery River. The three Magic Shots feature Grannies Janet and Rita, butterfly Keepy Uppy with Flappy and Bluey, and a Bluey and Bingo dance mode shot. These are available park-wide, not just inside the Conservation Station experience, so you can grab them regardless of whether you secure a boarding group.

Wrapping Up

Bluey’s Wild World is one of the most complete new experiences Disney has rolled out at Animal Kingdom in years — a full package of games, character meets, themed food, merch, and Magic Shots that extends well beyond Conservation Station. The virtual queue is the biggest variable on opening day, so nail your 7am or 10am drop strategy and the rest will follow. May 26 is the date to circle, and with this experience confirmed beyond summer 2026, it is not going anywhere anytime soon.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who. We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions. On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over. He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip. Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had. Will most definitely be using him again. He took care of everything and kept me on track. Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything. Can't thank him enough. He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
