Ready to visit Bluey at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Beginning May 26, 2026, Disney will welcome Bluey at Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station. Because this experience is expected to be extremely popular, Disney is once again rolling out the virtual queue system. All guests will need to join the virtual queue in order to board the Wildlife Express Train and head to Conservation Station.
The virtual queue will open twice each day at 7am and 10am. Guests will be able to join in the My Disney Experience app, and do not need to be physically in Animal Kingdom to join the virtual queue. Everyone trying to join the virtual queue will need to have a valid ticket for Animal Kingdom and a theme park reservation (if applicable).
Disney says the virtual queue is temporary and they hope to move to a standby queue at a later date. This virtual queue is just for the initial opening period. We’d expect big crowds on the first few days (like we saw at Disneyland Park when their Bluey show started), and then things to normalize.
Want to buy some Bluey merch or try one of the new food and beverage options? Good news! Merch will be available at both Conservation Station and Discovery Island. The special Bluey food and drinks will be available at Discovery Island. No train ride or virtual queue required!
Now for some quick opinions.
The Conservation Station and the Wildlife Express Train were never designed for this sort of purpose. The Conservation Station was intentionally placed in an area that’s removed from the hustle and bustle of Animal Kingdom, offering more of a behind-the-scenes look at caring for animals. It’s not an ideal spot for a massively popular character.
Logistically, the area is a bit of a pain to get to. We’ve always enjoyed taking the train, but there’s no getting around the fact it’s a commitment. Now, imagine tons of guests wanting to head to Conservation Station. We think things are going to be chaotic even with the virtual queue.
Dancing and games with Bluey doesn’t seem to fit next to windows looking in on animals going through real veterinary procedures. Maybe that’s just our opinion. We’ve seen some amazing animals and procedures taking place in the Conservation Station. It can be pretty powerful. We hope Bluey doesn’t negate that.
We fully understand Disney’s desire to finally get Bluey into the parks at Walt Disney World. Is the Conservation Station area the right fit?
