If your house has ever paused everything for a game of Keepy-Uppy, Disney just gave families a very good reason to start plotting a 2026 trip.

Disney has announced a slate of new Bluey-themed experiences arriving in 2026 across Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, and select Disney Cruise Line sailings departing from the U.S. — bringing Bluey and Bingo out of the screen and into the parks (and onto the ships).  

Disneyland Resort: Bluey takes over Fantasyland Theatre (starting March 22, 2026)

The first big stop is Disneyland Park, where Fantasyland Theatre will transform into Bluey’s school for an interactive experience billed as “Bluey’s Best Day Ever!” beginning March 22, 2026.  

Here’s what Disney says families can expect:

• Live stage moments throughout the day featuring Bluey and Bingo, plus a supporting cast of comedic actors and musicians
• Games and music inspired by fan-favorite episodes, designed to get kids (and grown-ups) moving
• Familiar chaos and fun, including nods to The Grannies and Chattermax
• Themed food offerings inspired by the show, including items tied to Troubadour Tavern 

In other words: less “sit and watch,” more “jump in and play.”

Walt Disney World: Bluey and Bingo land at Animal Kingdom (summer 2026)

Over in Florida, a Bluey experience is set for Disney’s Animal Kingdom in summer 2026, located at Conservation Station — an area already geared toward hands-on exploration.  

Disney’s early details point to:

• Meet-and-greets with Bluey and Bingo
• Interactive play and crafts, including games with an “animal twist” (Disney has referenced Keepy-Uppy with a nature-themed spin)
• A natural thematic tie-in: families can also visit animals native to Australia, the Heelers’ home turf  

Disney Cruise Line: Bluey fun at sea on select U.S. sailings

And yes — Bluey is also going nautical.

Disney Cruise Line says Bluey and Bingo will appear on select 2026 sailings with meet-and-greets, dance parties, games, crafts, and scavenger hunts.  

A few highlights Disney has named include:

• Wakey Wakey (an energetic morning party)
• Who’s Behind the Curtain (a family game show + dance party)
• Pyjama Bash (dancing, games, and a character appearance)  

Disney also specifies that sailings will include:

• Disney Dream departing Fort Lauderdale beginning February 2026
• Disney Wish departing Port Canaveral starting June 2026  

A quick planning cheat sheet for parents

• Disneyland: If your kid is Bluey-obsessed, March 22, 2026 is the date to circle. Expect high demand early. 
• Animal Kingdom: Because this is at Conservation Station, build in time for the trip there (it’s not something you accidentally wander into).
• Cruises: “Select sailings” is the key phrase — confirm Bluey programming on your specific itinerary before booking.  

Bottom line: Disney isn’t just adding a quick character photo op — this is a real, multi-location rollout that lets families “step into” Bluey’s world in a way parks don’t often do for non-Disney characters.
