food IS a theme park
I’m lucky to be a somewhat local Disney World Annual Passholder, and that means my approach to the parks is a little bit different than, say, someone on a week-long vacation.

For the most part, my visits to the parks are all about simply having a good time — which usually involves grabbing a drink, some good eats, and taking in a ride or two. But, one of my favorite relaxing Disney World activities is about to get a LOT more complicated — and I’m not sure I’ll ever recover.
If there’s one thing Disney fans know, it’s this: never underestimate the power of a wildly popular IP, especially when it comes to two Australian pups.
Bluey and Bingo!
Bluey is official at the Disney Parks, and she made a big splash! The recent debut of Bluey’s Best Day Ever at Disneyland Park proved exactly that, drawing massive, overwhelming crowds that quickly turned a joyful experience into a logistical headache. Now, with Bluey heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there’s a big question on everyone’s mind — will Disney World be ready, or are we about to see history repeat itself?
If you’ve visited Disney’s Animal Kingdom recently, you’ve probably noticed that the park is in the middle of a HUGE transformation — and it’s only going to get more noticeable.

Construction walls, land expansions, and long-term projects are already changing how the park operates day-to-day. Well, Disney’s about to add another major layer to the mix as early as this May. Here’s what you need to know about an offering that could make Animal Kingdom a little more crowded than usual…
It’s shaping up to be an exciting summer at Disney World!
Bluey and Bingo
New experiences are finally coming, and now we officially know when Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station in Animal Kingdom is opening! Mark your calendars for May 26th!
Heads up, Disney World fans, today’s the day that a whole section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom is temporarily closed, as of today.
Conservation Station
Today, February 23rd, Disney has temporarily closed Rafiki’s Planet Watch as a whole to make way for a new Bluey experience coming for Cool KIDS’ SUMMER. What does that mean for you? Well, a park that’s missing about four of its attractions, and in a park that’s already riddled with construction, that’s not a great addition.
Disney World has been seeing LOTS of closures throughout the past few months, mostly to make way for new additions, lands, and more, but if we’re being real, that doesn’t make the closures any less ideal when they’re happening.

This is especially true over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where DinoLand U.S.A. just closed for good to make way for the new Tropical Americas expansion, and now, there are TWO more closures happening in this park tomorrow — here’s why you need to be prepared.
Disney just filed a NEW permit for work to be done at the Conservation Station in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Disney has been on a roll recently with filing a variety of permits, including permits for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, the new Indiana Jones ride in Animal Kingdom, the Magic Kingdom expansion, Haunted Mansion, the Imagination Pavilion, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and more.
Disney World is preparing to change a LOT in 2026, and while we’re preparing as best we can with keeping up with all the news Disney announces, the truth is that while we’re getting a lot of NEW attractions in the parks, with all the additions, we’re also afraid Disney may be getting ready to take some things away.

We will be the first to admit that some of the changes on the way we’re already nervous for, but there are also things Disney hasn’t officially announced yet, but we’re concerned they’re thinking about. We polled our team, and out of all of us, here are the three changes we’re REALLY worried Disney could be announcing in 2026 and beyond.
Bluey is finally coming to Disney World — but we can’t help but feel a little worried about this new experience.

In summer 2026, Bluey fans will want to head to Conservation Station in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to meet and dance with Bluey and Bingo! Disney has yet to announce what will actually change at Conservation Station, but after speaking with Animal Kingdom Cast Members, our hopes are not very high.
