Walt Disney World will soon welcome Bluey, the Emmy-winning animated series that has become a global sensation, as part of an expanded collaboration between Disney and BBC Studios.

Bluey to Join Disney Experiences at its U.S. Theme Parks and Cruise Line Beginning in 2025

Fans will have new opportunities to interact with their favorite characters in the parks, on Disney Cruise Line, and at Disneyland Resort.

Josh D'Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences said:?"Bluey has become a household name for families around the world and we are thrilled to bring her story to life in new ways. We can't wait to watch our youngest guests and their families make memories with Bluey in our parks and on our cruises." Ludo Studio, said: "'It's a lovely day to go boat riding' and we're incredibly excited that Bluey and Bingo will be sailing on Disney Cruises, bringing Bluey's magic to families on the high seas!"

While Disney hasn't yet revealed specifics about what Bluey will bring to Walt Disney World, it has promised unique experiences for fans. These could include character meet-and-greets, interactive activities, or live entertainment similar to what's planned for Disney Cruise Line voyages from Australia and New Zealand. Onboard those cruises, families will join Bluey and her sister, Bingo, for games and dance parties inspired by the show's playful spirit.

A Growing Partnership

The addition of Bluey to Disney's theme parks and cruise ships is part of a larger agreement with BBC Studios, which includes Disney securing global theatrical rights to a Bluey feature film. Slated for release in 2027, the movie will be produced by Ludo Studio and BBC Studios, with plans to stream on Disney+ after its theatrical run.

Bluey has resonated with audiences worldwide for its authentic, heartfelt storytelling about family life. Bringing the series to Disney Parks and cruise ships expands the show's reach and gives fans a chance to connect with Bluey in a whole new way.

Oh I see! - I think one of the news sites used the concept art from DL with this story and that confused me. I’ll miss those goats and sheep!

I'm trying to think how close that section is to the D Lounge on the Djsney Dream as that's where they did the Bluey meet and greet there with the odd activity. Think as it's more that than an actual show like Disneyland is getting, it should be enough space

That’s a pretty small area - I’m a bit concerned the whole building will be bluey?

I know Busch Gardens have an interactive experience with kangaroos and wallabies where guests can feed them through gaps in the fence, so they can still get very close. I wonder if Disney will be doing something similar, especially as the petting zoo fence already has the gaps? I think Bluey is going where the Animation Class was as that's going to Hollywood Studios this Summer

I’m guessing the entire “petting zoo” experience is going away and the Australia animals will only be on display. They have both kangaroos and wallabies they can relocate. Still not sure where bluey will go? There isn’t room for a stage show? Is it just a meet?

We could have seen several new rides and lands back there for decades. It all depends on WDW choosing to do so.

Is there any chance this whole section becomes Australia/Oceana eventually? The laydown yard for Tropical Americas construction is right next to this area. When that wraps up, could we see a ride added back here? Could the Moana flume be added here?

This is how Busch Garden has been doing their Kangaroo Petting Zoo area for a while now (they've had it since 2010 but its changed a bit since then):

WDI Exec: Let's see, are there any Australian animals we can put in a petting zoo>... let's see... venomous... venomous... tear your arm off... poisonous... one shot you across the room.. venomous... one shot... poisonous... de-arming... venomous... Nope, that's it. No Australian animals safe for a petting zoo. WDI Intern: what about koa.. WDI Exec: Oops, forgot about 'riddled with sexually transmitted disease.'

Better yet, just hire Fluffy to walk around impersonating Steve.

Maybe it could be a meet and greet with Robert Irwin's koala character from Zootopia 2! Y'know, that character they made such a big deal about who only had, like, a minute of screentime?
