Disney has announced that the virtual queue for Bluey's Wild World at Conservation Station will end on June 1, with a standby queue taking over from June 2, 2026.

The change comes less than a week after Bluey's Wild World opened on May 26, and follows a rapid easing of demand at the 10am virtual queue drop over the past several days.

What Changes on June 2

From June 2, you will no longer need to join a virtual queue to experience Bluey's Wild World. A standard standby queue will be in place, meaning you can walk up and wait in line without needing to secure a boarding group in advance.

The virtual queue remains in place through June 1. If you are visiting before then, the existing system continues with 7am and 10am daily drops via My Disney Experience.

Last Days of the Virtual Queue

The virtual queue operates through June 1 with two daily drop times:

7am: Valid admission required. You do not need to be inside Disney's Animal Kingdom to join.
10am: Valid admission required. You must be physically inside Disney's Animal Kingdom to join.

Each guest can join once per day. A theme park reservation may also be required depending on your admission type and date of visit.

Why the Change

The shift to a standby queue reflects the rapid easing of demand seen over the past few days. The 10am virtual queue drop stayed open for more than 30 minutes on May 27 and 90 minutes on May 28, suggesting that the opening surge has settled significantly.

Switching to a standby queue removes a layer of friction for guests and simplifies the visit planning process. You will no longer need to be at your phone at 7am or timed to enter the park before 10am.

The move also follows a pattern seen with previous Disney virtual queue launches, all eventually transitioned away from virtual queues as initial demand eased.

Planning Your Visit from June 2

From June 2, visiting Bluey's Wild World works like any other experience at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Make your way to the Wildlife Express Train near Harambe Market in Africa, board to Conservation Station, and join the standby queue on arrival.

The Conservation Station train station

Only folding strollers are permitted on the Wildlife Express Train. The experience runs 8:30am to 3:45pm. Arriving earlier in the day will likely mean shorter wait times once the standby queue is in place.

Back when Frozen was new, PLENTY of people waited 5+ hours to see the Frozen sisters. I thought that was a bit crazy myself, but a LOT of very young children waited.

This. Could just about swap Bluey for Duffy and Friends and get similar results. It's not the IP. It's the execution.

Build a bridge over the Discovery River access point and there's a huge plot of land.

Given the location I don’t think 10min it’s us an unthinkable expectation for a line for this. I think it’d be really hard to get a line greater than 30 with the train.

There’s an entire water amphitheatre … they could literally due a daytime show on the water with themed floating barges and boats and stuff, just like Disney Sea once did.

Well sure there's plenty they could do if they wanted to invest more... but also between Everest & Nemo? huh?

If they wanted to give Australia the hybrid IP treatment, there is room between Everest and the Nemo show for a much larger Bluey presence.

I mean if wait times stay low they can easily modify the experience, set up a proper meet & greet, it's not like they don't have options

Good, as it should be. Let this be a fun easy experience for kids to enjoy. This is where VQ has a place in the parks, use it for the opening few days, when there will be a mad rush of locals, AP's, vloggers, etc. Then turn it off. I hope this is the outline moving forward, I'd like the days of VQ for a year or two on a new attraction to never happen again.

It took me until the mid-2010s to realize Flower was a boy. For years I thought Adult Flower was just a different skunk with the same name.

The venue itself is just underwhelming. There was barely enough room for the animation experience, let alone this expanded Bluey meet and greet. The lighting and backdrops look dull compared to the photos taken at the Disneyland version. I'm sure there will be some upgrades, or relocate it to an actual stage setting some day.
