Here's the announcement:

Disney Experiences today announced that Bluey, the beloved Emmy®-winning animated series that has captured hearts worldwide, will join Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida on land and Disney Cruise Line at sea.

Beginning in January 2025, onboard Disney Cruise Line voyages originating from Australia and New Zealand, families can 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.

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.

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.

Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences said: “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.”

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!”

Nicki Sheard, CEO, BBC Studios, Brands and Licensing, said: “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.”

Lots of sign posting on this one, but glad they finally locked it down. Bluey was at D23 and then moonlight magic was starting to incorporate more presence In parks.

Wonder if we’ll learn about the terms of the deal.

I’d imagine we’ll see the presence mostly at DCA and DHS domestically in the near term future.

I'm all a-tingle with this one!!! "Special activations"?!?! 🫠

Before anyone gets their hopes up - The in-park will be a meet and greet, based on the wording.

So which classic attraction will they shove Bluey into? Place your bets now. Do I hear a Dole Whip for somewhere in EPCOT? Two for Hollywood Studios?

Word on the street is Charita Carter is already assigned to add Bluey to the ToT. "Coming soon: Bluey's Tower of Fun! Experience this modern, 21st century family as they explore many layers of a tall hotel!!"

I'm OK with a meet and greet. I am concerned if there is an attraction. This property doesn't do anything for me (even though I know it is extremely popular)
I don't think any Disney Jr. (or preschool aged show) has ever had more than a M&G plus a spot in the Disney Jr. show, and maybe an appearance at a character meal.

I'm personally hopping for a M&G and a show. The Bluey Live show was really well down and could be trimmed down for a nice theme park attraction.
