How to Play With Bluey

Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station in Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened today and we’ve got some important information to share about the experience.

In this post:

• How and when to get a virtual queue
• Time stamps for the complete experience
• Show details including games and run times
• Video of the show

The only way to see Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station is to have a Virtual Queue boarding group. You can read all about the virtual queue process here. 

There are two virtual queues each day for Blue’s Wild World. The first is at 7:00am and the second is 10:00am.

7:00am = you do NOT need to be in the park to join this queue

10:00am = you will need to be in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to join

Below is a timeline of our experience this morning:

7:00am = joined the virtual queue, secured boarding group 17

7:58am = boarding groups 1 to 13 called

When your group is called, head to the entrance which is located in Africa between Kilimanjaro Safaris and Harambe Market.

8:17am = boarding group 17 called.

Note:  You only have 60 minutes to check in once your boarding group is called.

8:18am = checked in and we were directed to the line for the Wildlife Express Train

8:19am = on the train waiting for the other guests to board

8:24am = Wildlife Express departed the station headed for Conservation Station

8:29am = Wildlife Express arrived at Conservation Station

8:32am = arrived at Conservation Station show building after the walk from the train

We arrived at Conservation Station, our MagicBands were scanned, and we were directed to a corral to wait for our show to begin. The waiting area is separated from the show by queue ropes. It’s a good way to get the kids in line excited, sort of like watching other guests ride Dumbo as you’re in the line.

8:45am = we were allowed in to the show area. Cast Members asked adults to stay on the blue carpet so that the kids could have all of the front spots.

Important Note: It took us 27 minutes from the moment we checked in until our show started. This includes the time it took to load the train, travel to Conservation Station, and walk the path to the show building.

The show was exactly 13 minutes of fun and included 4 games in the following order:

1. Magic Asparagus: The host holds a giant asparagus and points to the children while shouting out animal names. The children make the assigned animal sounds.
2. Copy Cat Charades: The host announces an animal and the audience is supposed to pretend to be that creature. Have your kids brush up on their elephant, chicken, and monkey impressions.
3. Mums & Dads: Our second favorite game and a crowd favorite. Bluey, Bingo, and two Cast Members are stationed around the space with signs and buckets. The host explains that he has a bunch of colored balls that represent different birds. There are four colors, one for each bird. He throws the balls into the play area in front of the children and they are supposed to put the balls in the baskets with corresponding colors. For example, the blue balls represent bluebirds and they have to go into the basket next to Bluey. There are Cast Members close by to assist the smaller guests. Bluey, Bingo, and the other two basket managers celebrate and jump up and down with each new addition to their baskets.
4. Keepy Uppy: The final game is the equivalent of Justin Bieber saving “Baby” for the last song of his concert. This was the big ending. Very soft, very light balls are thrown into the baby mosh pit and the real fun starts.

The big finale reaches its peak when a shower of bubbles falls from the ceiling.

After the show, there really isn’t anything else that’s going to interest the target audience. The animal treatment rooms are open but that didn’t seem to draw in any of the kids from our show. Jumping Junction technically has animals but they’re very far away and very hard to see as they’re slowly acclimating to their new space.

There is a merch location just as you exit the show space. If you’re looking for baby care items, they’re behind the register.

Our trip back to Africa took 13 minutes including the 3 minute walk to the train, the 5 minutes it took to wait for the train and then board, and the 5 minute return trip. We were back in Africa at 9:24am which means the entire experience was 66 minutes with 13 of those minutes being actual entertainment.
