‘Bluey’ to Join Disney’s U.S. Theme Parks and Cruise Line

Beginning January 2025, voyages originating from Australia and New Zealand will feature interactions with Bluey and Bingo, from special meet-and-greets to an interactive and clue-filled game that ends in a dance party.

Disney Experiences has announced that the animated series Bluey will join Disneyland Resort in California, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and the Disney Cruise Line.

Beginning in January 2025, Disney Cruise Line voyages originating from Australia and New Zealand will allow families to interact with Bluey and her sister, Bingo, from special meet-and-greets to an interactive and clue-filled game that ends in a dance party.

“Bluey has become a household name for families around the world and we are thrilled to bring her story to life in new ways,” said Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences. “We can’t wait to watch our youngest guests, and their families make memories with Bluey in our parks and on our cruises.” 

“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,” said Ludo Studio.

The Bluey producers at Ludo Studio are working with BBC Studios and Disney on special activations. Details about how guests can meet Bluey and her family at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will be shared next year.

“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,” said Nicki Sheard, CEO, BBC Studios, Brands and Licensing. “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 announcement comes as part of a major expansion of The Walt Disney Company’s global relationship with BBC Studios for Bluey. The new deal sees Disney acquiring the global theatrical rights for the film, which will be produced by Ludo Studio in collaboration with BBC Studios, and which will land in cinemas in 2027 under the Disney banner. Following the global theatrical release, it will stream on Disney+. The movie will also air on ABC iview and ABC Kids in Australia post-theatrical release.
