Bluey's Best Day Ever at Disneyland

Posted: Tuesday December 2, 2025 7:40am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has not said whether the new show replacing Disney Jr. Play and Dance! at Disney's Hollywood Studios will feature Bluey, but a newly announced production coming to Disneyland in 2026 gives a sense of what a Bluey experience can look like inside a Disney park.

Bluey's Best Day Ever at Disneyland

Beginning March 22, 2026, Disneyland will introduce "Bluey's Best Day Ever!" at the Fantasyland Theatre. The show is described as an immersive celebration of the series, turning the venue into the grounds of Bluey's school. Bluey and Bingo appear live on stage with a cast of comedic actors and musicians, recreating the humor, music, and playful moments found in the show. Guests take part in activities that flow naturally from the performance, including games like Keepy Uppy, along with interactive spaces such as a life-sized Gnome Village and a Fairy Garden. Characters like the Grannies, Chattermax, and Unicorse are part of the experience, and Disneyland will offer themed food items nearby at Troubadour Tavern.

While none of this is confirmed for Florida, the Disneyland production offers a possible preview of what Disney may be aiming for at Hollywood Studios. The new Disney Junior show will debut in the reimagined Walt Disney Studios courtyard, next to The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure, and is part of the larger 2026 transformation now underway.

If Disney chooses Bluey for this location in Hollywood Studios, guests can likely expect a high-energy format built around play, participation, and recognizable moments from the series rather than a traditional sit-and-watch stage show. The timing also lines up: both the Animation Courtyard overhaul and Disneyland's Bluey production are developing in parallel.

Yes but that was in the 1950s when I assume parents put down their cigars and Scotch on very rare occasion to take junior on vacation (wait, it was the 1950s, so they just drove down the road while smoking the cigar and drinking the Scotch), and so canoeing their kid around at Disneyland for 20 minutes seemed like whimsical fun. Then junior was sent back outside to raise himself until the next summer. My kid already does 8,000 yearly crafts / slimes / potions, has some sort of outing or event every weekend with me by his side, classes, daily playtime involving the most boring games with Little People that have ever existed and literally cause time to slow down, walks, museums, train rides... trust me when I say that I am having out-of-body-experience levels of fun when he is entertaining himself at a PlayPlace and I have a Diet Coke and my phone. There is not a price you can put on that type of fun. So yeah, it looks a little different in 2025, but mission accomplished. Parents and kids having fun.

personally don't care if they bring back animation academy as the focus of this area needs to be refreshing a bad space and making it look pretty. honestly think what they announced seems perfect

It was announced on a random Tuesday. There’s not a lot of hoopla.

Ya there's a lot of criticism, but an indoor air conditioned kid-friendly space will be such a blessing in Hollywood Studios. And I know the naysayers will say that bar is too low, but Hollywood Studios is the most miserable park in the heat. And space like Communicore, etc are great for kids to run off some unstructured energy. I realize I benefit as my 7 and 4 year old still need this, but I don't see myself resenting spaces like this in the future either. It feels family friendly to have a space for play and to cool down in parks that can be a lot and overwhelming.

Yea...I'm very concerned there's going to be an ever increasing dearth of creativity in the future.

If it's a good play area, I'll be happy. HS doesn't have a lot for young kids and they need some additions there. To my mind, young children are the one crowd who often do better with something simpler and with fewer bells and whistles. They're in shock and awe mode when they see a spinning toothbrush or even a cardboard box, add too much and they'll just get overstimulated. My son is just beginning to age out of this era, but he's still at the age where he has similar levels of fun at a McDonald's Playplace and the Magic Kingdom (actually, probably more at the Playplace, to be honest.) E tickets are great, but people eaters - especially ones that don't take years to build - help everyone's experience too, by spreading out crowds.

Launch Bay was such a low bar, that this is still a massive improvement. I’m hoping that this new area is phase I to whatever they end up doing behind it. But I admit that’s just wishful thinking.

They can't even make moving images, a staple of fantasy and something they already have other places on property, without it being tied into an IP somehow. Disney doesn't want any animators to be. They just dropped a billion into Sora. Those kids aren't getting jobs at Disney Animation when they grow up.

Sounds like the lowest effort overlay possible, a meet n greet and playground with some projection effects that will delay meaningful development of the area for another decade or so.

The only question that matters. You'd think they'd want something in there.

So.... a couple animated pictures on the walls...a huge meet and greet, and a kiddie play area...and a short movie. a lot of hooplah for another meet and greet with some added elements.... a half step beyond Communicore Hall.

From the parks blog "The playful and interactive moments will be around every corner. You’ll see portraits come to life before your eyes just like they did in “Once Upon A Studio;” you’ll find inspiration with a short film (with a twist, of course); and you’ll even pencil in some time to learn how to draw your very own character sketch. Our youngest animators-to-be can explore the “Drawn to Wonderland” playground filled with an oversized flower garden with musical instruments, a Mad Tea Party playset, and a Tulgey Wood exploration area, all inspired by the original “Alice in Wonderland” concept art from Disney Legend Mary Blair. It’ll be the perfect whimsical indoor play area for little ones to grow “curiouser and curiouser!” All of those places to explore and create, and we haven’t even talked about character greetings… and there are lots! The whole family will be drawn to all the creative ways to play together when “The Magic of Disney Animation” opens at Disney’s Hollywood Studios next year.
