FULL TOUR: Bluey’s Wild World Celebrates All Things Bluey at Disney’s Animal Kingdom - WDW News Today

Replacing Rafiki’s Planet Watch, Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station is the latest addition to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It includes playtime with Bluey and Bingo, a new Australian animal area, and more. Guests will need to join a virtual queue to experience Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station, the Wildlife Express Train, Jumping Junction, and the Animal Care experiences at Conservation Station. While a standby queue will not be available during the location’s initial opening period, Disney expects to open a standby queue at a later date. Guests can request to join the virtual queue via the My Disney Experience app at one of two times: 7 a.m. or 10 a.m. Visit disneyworld.com/virtualqueue for more details about how virtual queues at Disney World work. A digital virtual queue sign outside the attraction shows guests whether the queue is open or closed, when the next queue will open, and which boarding groups are currently being called. At the bottom of the sign, it says: Capacity is limited. Entrance to Bluey’s Wild World is not guaranteed. See the My Disney Experience app for the latest updates. To experience anything at Conservation Station, guests need to take the Wildlife Express Train. At the entry point for the Wildlife Express to Conservation Station, drawings of Bluey and Bingo appear at the top of the signage. The Wildlife Express Train was part of the Conservation Station journey previously as well. This sign used to feature different text, but it was generally the same aesthetic. This updated train has new narration featuring Robert Irwin, as well as characters and music from “Bluey,” explaining what guests will encounter once they reach Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station. The Harambe Railway Station sign for the Wildlife Express indicates a few of the things guests can expect when they arrive at Conservation Station: New signage can be seen during the train ride and includes various Australian animals like kangaroos, a seabird, koalas, a wallaby, and more. Words like “play,” “wild,” “fun,” “explore,” and “care” accompany the images. Then, on the way back, the original non-Bluey soundtrack narration plays. There are no Wilderness Explorer Cast Members in the train station area anymore. Upon arrival at Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station, guests are greeted with more posters of the same Australian animals, which are framed and illuminated. The same stencil-like animals remain. The trail to the main area has cutouts of Bluey and Bingo in their day-to-day look, as well as a safari look. A photo op allows guests to step into a scene with Bluey and Bingo among the trees. And banners lead the way to the main area of Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station. The replacement of the Affection Section at Conservation Station, Jumping Junction, brings Australian animals to the area. It appears there is still a handwashing station in front of the area, although Jumping Junction is not a petting zoo. Once this space is fully operational, the experience will be a walkthrough with a path for guests to stay on. According to Cast Members, the animals are still getting acclimated, so an official opening date has not been announced. You can see kangaroos and wallabies, but you cannot touch them; it operates more like a proper zoo without the heavy barriers. Animals were not close to the fencing during our visit, but they decided to enjoy the shade. Signage for the various animals has more information regarding the animals that are on display. For example, guests will learn that the best way to tell a kangaroo and a wallaby apart is by looking at their sizes. The courtyard has the same animals above the Conservation Station building. That has not changed for Bluey. Stanchions are set up for guests to queue outdoors. Queuing will continue inside. Directional signage indicates where to find Jumping Junction and where to go for playtime. And, these banners can still be found on the lampposts. A Conservation Station painted sign is on the wall, decorated with Australian birds and insects. Moving inside, large murals welcome guests into the world of Bluey. Guests will continue to move through the indoor queue to get to the main show area. Guests will need to expect a bit of wait time before they are able to get to the stage area for the show. There is flora and fauna native to Australia—all in the Bluey style we know and love. This new immersive section of Conservation Station is where guests can have playtime with Bingo and Bluey. The center of the space has the stage, plants, props, and more. The ceiling is like looking up at a cartoon version of the Australian sky. Murals of the Australian landscape are painted on the top half of the walls, and some Australian flora is also painted towards the bottom of the walls. Near the main stage is a scenic setup that includes plants, a “pond,” rocks, and branches. Behind it is more of the queue. Guests will then be led to the play space. The hosts lead guests through the Keepy Uppy and Magic Asparagus interactive games. Bingo and Bluey come out throughout the 15-minute “show” to interact and dance with guests. There is no dedicated meet and greet with the sisters, but guests can pose for photos during this time. One major returning element of Conservation Station is the animal care area inside the building. Guests can still enjoy seeing feeding time for various animals at the Animal Nutrition Window. Guests can bypass the Bluey and Bingo playtime experience queue and check out other areas of Conservation Station. The Veterinary Treatment Room gives guests a look into how the animals are cared for by medical staff. Guests may even see animals receiving certain surgeries or procedures if they wish. Drop by the Amphibian, Reptile, and Invertebrate Windows to see some of the smallest resident animals at Animal Kingdom. Or guests can visit the Science Center to learn more about what Disney’s Animals, Science, and Environment team is working on. Merchandise, drinks, and packaged snacks are available under the pavilion overhang outside of Conservation Station. Here is where you can find a variety of Bluey merchandise. Bluey merch is also available at Island Mercantile back on Discovery Island. Are you excited for the new Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station? Let us know on social media!
