Over the past several years, Bluey has taken the world by storm!

The BBC-produced Australian series based around the titular puppy and her family has become an international phenomenon thanks to its streaming on Disney+, leading to merchandise including custom Build-A-Bears, LEGO sets, an upcoming feature film that will be distributed by Disney, and — as announced in late 2024 — a prominent place in Disney’s theme park universe.
In late December, Disney issued a press release announcing that characters from the series would be integrated into Disney experiences on the Disney Cruise Line, as well as at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. According to the release, beginning in January of 2025, passengers on Disney Cruise Line voyages originating from Australia and New Zealand will be able to “interact with Bluey and her sister, Bingo, like never before. From special meet-and-greets to an interactive and clue-filled game that ends in a dance party featuring Bluey’s signature moves, families in the region can embark on a magical holiday with their favorite blue heeler.”

With Bluey confirmed to be coming to the Disney Cruise Line this month, the next logical question is when will the show and its characters make their way to the company’s U.S. theme parks?

Given the current popularity of the series and the characters’ imminent debut on the Cruise Line, we would expect sooner rather than later, likely by the summer if not earlier. The aforementioned press release does reveal some clues.
According to Disney, “The producers of Bluey, the multiple Emmy Award-winning Ludo Studio, are working closely alongside BBC Studios and Disney on a number of special activations for fans to enjoy. Details about how guests can meet Bluey and her family at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will be shared in the months ahead.”
Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences, expressed excitement at the concept of Bluey coming to the parks, saying, “Bluey has become a household name for families around the world and we are thrilled to bring her story to life in new ways. We can’t wait to watch our youngest guests and their families make memories with Bluey in our parks and on our cruises.”

The production houses behind the series share that enthusiasm. Ludo Studio said “It’s a lovely day to go boat riding’ and we’re incredibly excited that Bluey and Bingo will be sailing on Disney Cruises, bringing Bluey’s magic to families on the high seas!”, while Nicki Sheard, the CEO. BBC Studios Brands and Licensing added: “The Heeler family’s debut at Disney Theme Parks and Cruises really is the icing on the cake for what has been an exceptional year for Bluey. We are committed to creating the very best-in-class experiences for our fans and can’t wait to open the doors to families next year.”

The mega-popular Bluey franchise is coming to the Disney Cruise Line this month, with characters and experiences rolling out to Walt Disney World and Disneyland in the coming months. Stay tuned to AllEars for more on these Bluey announcements!

I hope Doc McStuffins will still be at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year.
She’s been my true love for 10 years.
My granddaughter loves Bluey! But most of the characters in Disney parks are beloved by adults and children alike. Does Bluey fit that standard?
