Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station opens at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on May 26, 2026, and it is bringing a whole lot of heart along with it. This brand-new experience is part of Disney’s Cool Kids’ Summer, and it goes well beyond a character meet-and-greet. Wallabies and kangaroos from Bluey’s home country of Australia will be hopping around at a new area called Jumping Junction, making this one of the most unique additions Animal Kingdom has seen in a while. If you’re planning a visit, there is a bit of prep work involved — and we’ve got every detail you need.
Be sure to bookmark the Cool Kids’ Summer hub at Fantasy Land News for the full rundown of everything Disney has in store across the parks this season.
How to Get Into Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station
When Bluey’s Wild World opens on May 26, it will operate on a virtual queue only. That means there is no standby line available during the initial opening period. Disney has said a standby queue will come at a later date, but for now, securing a spot through My Disney Experience is the only way in.
The virtual queue covers access to Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station, the Wildlife Express Train, Jumping Junction, and the Animal Care experiences at Conservation Station.
Virtual Queue Times: 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.
There are two windows each day to request a spot in the virtual queue through the My Disney Experience app.
For the 7 a.m. window, you need valid admission to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and, if applicable, a theme park reservation. The good news is you do not need to be inside the park when you join at 7 a.m.
For the 10 a.m. window, valid admission is required and you must already be inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom when you make your request.
Visit disneyworld.com/virtualqueue for the full breakdown of how virtual queues work and what to expect on the day of your visit.
Don’t Forget: You Need the Wildlife Express Train
One detail worth highlighting is that getting to Conservation Station requires a ride on the Wildlife Express Train. The train station is located near Harambe Market in Africa, and you will need to board it to reach Bluey’s Wild World, Jumping Junction, and the Animal Care experiences. Factor that travel time into your plans, especially if you are working toward a specific queue return window.

Did You Know?
- Wallabies and kangaroos are both marsupials, meaning their babies – called joeys – continue to develop in their mom’s pouch after they are born.
- Spot the difference between species by looking at their size! Kangaroos are larger while wallabies are nearly half the size.
- Both a group of kangaroos and a group of wallabies are called a mob.
Our Take
Bluey’s Wild World is the kind of addition that makes you proud of what Animal Kingdom can do when it leans into its strengths. Pairing real Australian animals with one of the most beloved children’s characters in the world is genuinely smart programming, not just slapping a character on a backdrop. The virtual queue is a little extra friction, but the 7 a.m. option gives early planners a real advantage even from off-property. This one is worth the effort.
