Bluey and Bingo are coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom on May 26, 2026. The date is now confirmed for Bluey’s Wild World, the new character experience opening at Conservation Station inside Rafiki’s Planet Watch. The experience runs through Cool Kids’ Summer and beyond, giving families an extended window to visit. We first reported Bluey and Bingo were coming to Animal Kingdom back in December when Disney made the initial announcement. Now we have the date. Disney+ also announced 10 new Bluey Minisodes coming in May!
What Is Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station?
Bluey’s Wild World is an interactive character experience where guests can play and dance with Bluey and Bingo at Conservation Station, the indoor venue at the end of the Wildlife Express Train at Rafiki’s Planet Watch. The experience brings games from the show to life with an animal twist. Butterfly Keepy Uppy is one of the confirmed activities. Guests can also take photos alongside the Heeler sisters.
As part of the wild excursion, guests will step outside Conservation Station to discover an experience with animals native to Bluey’s home country of Australia at Affection Section. It is a full package: play inside with Bluey and Bingo, then meet Australian animals outside. That combination makes this more than a standard meet-and-greet and gives it a genuine Animal Kingdom identity that connects to the park’s conservation mission.
The hosting cast for the experience is being drawn from a Disney Live Entertainment casting notice that describes the show as centered on a group called the P.A.C.K., which stands for Playful Animal Crew for Kids. Host actors welcome guests, lead games, and facilitate the character interaction throughout.
Why Conservation Station?
Conservation Station is one of the most undervisited spaces at Walt Disney World. It is accessible only by the Wildlife Express Train from Harambe Station, with the last train departing at 4:30 PM. The location is a deliberate choice by Disney, using Bluey’s enormous popularity to draw families to a space that rarely sees significant foot traffic.
The Wildlife Express Train and Rafiki’s Planet Watch have been temporarily closed since February 22nd to prepare for the experience. Cast members on the final day of train service told guests the closure would last approximately three months, which lines up precisely with the May 26th opening. Construction permits filed by Disney Live Entertainment confirmed work was underway to retrofit Conservation Station for the show format.
When Does It Run?
Bluey’s Wild World opens May 26, 2026 and runs through Cool Kids’ Summer and beyond. May 26th is the day after Memorial Day, which also marks the official start of Disney’s Cool Kids’ Summer programming across Walt Disney World. The timing is no coincidence. Bluey and Bingo are the marquee character addition for the summer season at Animal Kingdom.
What About Disneyland?
Bluey is also coming to Disneyland in a separate format. Bluey’s Best Day Ever is a live stage show heading to the Fantasyland Theatre at Disneyland Park. That show features Bluey and Bingo alongside live actors and musicians performing games, songs, and adventures including Keepy Uppy, a life-sized gnome village, and a fairy garden. The Fantasyland Theatre sign has already been removed as part of preparations for the show’s arrival. Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom experience and the Disneyland stage show are distinct offerings built for their respective parks.
Bluey on Disney Cruise Line
Bluey and Bingo are also joining select Disney Cruise Line domestic sailings in 2026 with greetings, dance parties, and dedicated events including Wakey Wakey, Who’s Behind the Curtain, and the Pyjama Bash. Families who cannot make it to a park this summer have a cruise option for meeting the Heeler sisters as well.
