Sarah Bretz, ContributorDisney announced today that animated Australian TV series ‘Bluey’ will join Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland Resort in California, and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
Starting in January 2025 on Disney Cruise Line sailings in Australia and New Zealand, families will have the opportunity 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, families can embark on a magical vacation with their favorite blue heeler.
“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 of 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.”
The producer of Bluey — Ludo Studio — is working closely alongside BBC Studios and Disney on a number of special activations for fans to enjoy.
This 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. It’s set to hit theaters in 2027 under the Disney banner. Following the global theatrical release, it will stream on Disney+.
Available in over 140 countries, Bluey is 2024’s most-watched series globally on Disney+ and is the year’s number one most-watched series on streaming to date through November among total viewers in the U.S.
Details on how guests can meet Bluey and her family at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will be revealed in the coming months.
