Global Fandom Over a Children’s Television Series
Bluey was first commissioned by the BBC and the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) in 2017, and the very first episodes featuring the little blue heeler puppy alongside her younger sister Bingo and her mom and dad, Chilli and Bandit, debuted in 2018. The series was created by Australian animator Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studio. Brumm also serves as the main writer of the series.

In July 2023, The Guardian touted Bluey as “still arguably the best television series in the world” and noted that “every seven-minute episode is its own self-contained short story, most of them nudging at the boundaries of what a children’s show can be.”
Perhaps the most impressive and interesting piece to the massive success of the series is that a sizeable portion of Bluey fans aren’t children–they’re adults, many of whom do not yet have children or no longer have preschool-aged children.
When Is Bluey’s Disney World Debut?
It’s no wonder fans of the series that follows the daily adventures of the Heeler Family have long wondered why Bluey, Bingo, Chilli, and Bandit are simply non-existent at Disney’s theme parks around the world. Simply explained, Disney only owns the broadcasting rights to the series, allowing Bluey to be broadcast on Disney Channel and Disney Junior–and streamed on Disney+.
Outside of that, Bluey creator Joe Brumm, BBC Studios, ABC, and Ludo Studio would like to keep Bluey for themselves, thank you very much. (And we can’t say that we blame them.)
But that doesn’t stop fans from wishing on stars that Bluey will eventually find her way to Magic Kingdom and other Disney theme parks globally.

Whether a Magic Kingdom debut will ever be in the plans for Bluey remains to be seen, and with the announcement of a brand-new Bluey-inspired park opening later in 2024, it seems less likely than ever that the Aussie pup and her family will be meeting and/or greeting guests at Disney World anytime soon.
Bluey’s World Opens in a Few Months
Forget about Disney World–plans for Bluey’s World were first announced in 2023, and the anticipation and excitement over the new venue has continued to grow since that time.

The new theme park-esque venue will see fans of all ages stepping into, well, Bluey’s world–for real life, apparently. The brand-new venue is slated to open later this year, finally giving fans of immensely popular children’s series to enjoy an exciting and immersive experience inspired by the hit series.
When it opens in November, Bluey’s World will be a one-of-a-kind immersive experience featuring beloved characters, iconic episode locations, and interactive games.
Per the official Bluey website:
Embark on a brand-new immersive journey with Bluey, Bingo, Mum, and Dad in their beloved home, backyard, and beyond. Explore your favorite rooms, play interactive games, and keep your eyes peeled for surprises around every corner . . . and maybe even a Longdog or two!
As you arrive at the Heeler family’s Brisbane cul-de-sac, watch out for those pesky bin chickens. Then, enter their colorful Queenslander house, where you are invited to live and play like Bluey.
Yes, Bluey is finally getting her own “world,” and the presale of tickets began this week. The venue doesn’t open until November 7, 2024, but fans have the chance to pre-purchase tickets now through May 21, 2024–or until tickets are sold out. Prices vary by date and time of visit.
General ticket sales begin several hours following the end of presales on May 21, meaning that fans who miss the presale won’t be out of luck.

Immersive experiences await at Bluey’s World:
Follow the hallway to the living room, where you will meet your guide, who will join you on this very special adventure. Discover Bluey and Bingo’s epic giant cubby. Crawl, climb, and walk (funny walks encouraged) your way through the various cubby rooms.
Explore the girls’ bedroom from the stained-glass window to the watermelon rug. Then play games and [make memories] in the fun and vibrant playroom. See what’s cooking in the Heeler’s kitchen and decorate a pavlova like Bluey. But hold the edamame beans, please.
It’s just too darn bad that the new experience is located in Brisbane, Queensland, at the Northshore Pavilion.
