Bluey and Bingo Arrive at Disney's Animal Kingdom for Cool Kids' Summer

Bluey and Bingo are set to arrive at Walt Disney World as part of Cool Kids' Summer when it launches in May.

What's Happening:

• Bluey and Bingo, promised to debut at Disney's Animal Kingdom, will be arriving as part of Cool Kids' Summer at Walt Disney World.
• Arriving on May 26 and staying beyond Cool Kids' Summer, guest will be able to play games and dance with Bluey and Bingo at Conservation Station as part of "Bluey's Wild World at Conservation Station"
• To get there, guests will have to take the Wildlife Express train from the village of Harambe in the park's Africa section, taking their journey to Conservation Station.
• There, all traces of Rafiki and his Planet Watch have been removed, and Bluey fans will recognize much of a new look in the area.
• In Conservation Station, guests can play games and dance with Bluey and Bingo in activities that have a fun animal twist - like Butterfly Keepy Uppy.
• Elsewhere, guests will also be able to meet with animal friends from Bluey and Bingo's native homeland of Australia at "Jumping Junction."

Yo, Listen Up Here's The Story:

• Bluey is a massively popular global phenomenon. What began as a small Australian preschool cartoon in 2018 grew into a worldwide cultural phenomenon loved by kids, and more importantly, by adults.
• The seven minute episodes of the series revolve around imaginative play, family life, and everyday childhood experiences.
• Disney picked up the show and streamed it worldwide on Disney+, and broadcast the series on Disney Jr. and Disney Channel, giving the series massive exposure across North America, Europe, and Asia.
• The series also appeals strongly to adults, thanks to realistic parenting, emotional storytelling about family life, humor aimed at parents, and short, meaningful stories.
• Recently, Bluey activities debuted aboard Disney Cruise Line - complete with Character Meet & Greets - drawing a massive response from those onboard, with hours-long lines and early arrivals for the shows and programming offered.
• That was with a limited amount of guests. Not more than about 3800.
• This author is very interested to see how Disney's Animal Kingdom will fare operationally when a full park's worth of guests wants to get back to this small corner of the park for the Bluey-based fun.
• I promise you, it will be the longest wait you've ever seen for the Wildlife Express train.

Summer Fun at WDW:

• Also arriving in May are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!, Soarin' Across America, and more.
• Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, fully revamped with new effects, scoring system, characters, and more, is expected just ahead of Cool Kids' Summer.
• And while we don't have an exact return date for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom, it is expected to reopen in "early May."
